Love the old rattly bracelets. Much more comfortable, in my humble opinion.

Missed the past couple WRUW threads- need to catch up.
This is my new "project watch", been wearing it all day even though it doesn't have a crown and I can't set the time. Worse shape than I expected so I was going to send it back to the seller but I think I'm keeping it after talking to RGM today. So this is the last pic before it ships off.

Agreed.

They may make a lot of noise, but even now I'm always struck when I put this one on just how comfortable it is. I do have a solid link 91350, which is what my 16800, and I could've swapped it between the two, but ultimately I knew that I had to get a proper folded-link, Tudor-badged 9135T for the Snowflake.

Adam

I thought about buying that, I wanted the bracelet! I think it's a great project watch, and once you get it back it'll be well worth the investment IMO.

That is going to be a peach when it is done...but if it is going to RGM, prepare to wait...a while.

Thanks, Drew. T.R. hooked me up with some straight spring bars at lunch today. The curvy ones made me feel funny.

Thanks Bro :thumbsup:

Haven't snagged the crown on anything yet. According to Seiko the crown at 12 was an design input by Yuichiro Miura which indicated that the crown location is a lease likely position where climbing rope could be snagged on. Could be just BS, but I like how it looks.
Its definitely a looker and that GMT hand is very unobtrusive

They should use that watch for NATO strap ads Looks great.
"30ish years of martial arts and I've actually had the honor of training lots of LEO, spec ops and even SEAL team 6 on base, fitness training, not martial arts, but still the coolest thing I've done.

Full on egg head corporate job and I fly quite a bit so I'm really looking forward to adding to my collection of TSA friendly self defense tools. I have amcouple tactical pens, but I want to up the game and get into some custom stuff. Been watch obsessed for a while but this seems more fun.

Thanks for letting me play! "

Is that a NATO or a Zulu? Looks more like a Zulu. :scratch:
