The (Less intimidating) Watch Thread

Thanks for that. I’m not ashamed to admit that I’m not deep in the specs and details AS you or many others here. I gave a rough budget which this watch is slightly north of, but as you say, the aesthetic is pretty unique in todays marker and it gives me a semi. I’ll see what sort of damage I do the bank account in g’port in a couple of weeks and if that goes OK then this may be mine soon.

On my 6.75” wrist. Changed the strap out for a silicone nato. I have some nylon natos coming in from haveston and phenomenato coming in soon, as well as this coming in from japan

One thing to be aware of: it's smaller than most modern watches. You might want to try it on or something similar in size before purchasing it. The website says it's 36x33. That's a little confusing, I think it's actually 36 across. I'm not sure why they're giving the other dimension.
I have been in love with this watch for years and the reissue is perfect. It really has been stripped down to the bare essentials and is the perfect minimalist watch in my opinion.
I have it on a grey Haveston NATO (just came in a couple hours ago), and the whole package is super low key but highly functional and comfortable.
If you get the watch, buy whichever is cheaper, both of the strap options suck. I'm not really happy with the leather strap that comes with it. Also: I paid full retail. By the time your birthday rolls around it should be a couple hundred bucks cheaper. I just had to buy it NOW because I've been lusting for it for so long.

I love how photos distort the apparent size of a watch on the wrist. I would never have guessed that's only a 36mm watch. It looks more like 40 or 42.

I really love the cushion case

Easier to understand and better taste in women, too.

Thanks! I don't know what it is about this watch, but I am so smitten with it. The aesthetic is so perfect for me, and I love looking at it. Plus, it's fun to wind every morning.

I think he was joking. Fun fact: @mclaincausey was my very first paying customer.

Just to clarify, I worked directly for the command Senior/Master Chief’s and Master Gunnery SGT at my three duty stations and was given an extensive training in Naval Vocabulary by all of them.
I’m sure you know what I mean.
I respect the Chief’s/Warrant’s tremendously and can’t thank them enough!
