This is something I've been wanting for a while. I like the canvas/nato look but I hate the way "under the bottom" style raises watches off my wrist.

The side with the buckle holes is adjustable. Hodinkee is suppose to be making a video to show how. :banghead:

Adjustable length. I like it.

Congrats! I like the idea of being able to adjust the length. I've never been a fan of having to tuck the tail end back through the keepers. Too bulky, and I always snag the strap on something.

Here are some pics explaining how the adjustable side works. I have also included a sliding keeper on the stationary side for you to put the tail anywhere you want. :mrgreen: Let me know if it is clear as mud. lol

And the blue for color reference. Wears like a NATO but closer to the skin.

If there is a downside, in the short time wearing it the side with the loop seems to want to loosen over time, very quickly. May have to superglue the loop together or something.

so it’s a 2 piece nato that you can adjust…. But why do you need to adjust it? I feel like I’m missing something.

That's a pretty combo. I think the BB58 is the best "not expensive" watch in the world right now. I'll probably finally buy one if they fit the glidelock to the SS version, like the new bronze one.

Agreed. Personally I can’t do ND (I’ve tried), but hoping a date version will be an option in the future. What’s another BB release after all ?

Also, congrats T :cheers:

I love no date watches. I almost never take the time to set my watch’s date.
