Do you wear a watch?

[bojangle]

Looks wide for those lugs, but nice color.

It does look about 1mm too wide or so.

 

[HappyHighwayman]

It is a little wide.

Hey
it looks folded a little bit.

Now you can swim with it though.


BTW one thing I always wonder about the Nato straps is whether it's annoying to have one more layer of fabric between your arm and the back of the watch. Just making it stand out higher.

 

[HappyHighwayman]

It's a 20mm and the lugs are 21 mm so maybe I'll try 18 or 19mm

I don't really swim so it's a non-issue and thus far I actually find it more comfortable than the metal strap.

I haven't gotten my head wrapped around using NATO straps on my watches yet. For some reason I'm not a big fan.

Yeah, same here... I got the 2-piece NATO style for my cheap watch, doesn't raise the watch up.

 

[HappyHighwayman]

I had it installed wrong, you need to actually unstrap something before setting it up and now it's better.

I like it because it allows for different looks quite cheaply. I may get a few.

about a decade ago, i was compelled to buy a blue face TAG Heuer watch that Jennifer Aniston wore in a magazine ad. several years later, i wore it on an ATV tour in Las Vegas. it got really dusty so i took it back to the jeweler to get the watch cleaned. the person who serviced my watch almost scolded me for mistreating it, lol. to me, it's like, if i can't wear it and get it dirty, what good is it for???

i haven't bought an expensive watch since, since i don't have a need for one. simplicity works much better for me ...

 

[HappyHighwayman]

TAGs are great beater watches. I wear my Omega precisely because it can take a beating.

 

[Johndicezx9]

I'm thinking about a Mudmaster....

I feel like I'd be selling out if I got an Apple watch.

not necessarily, a digital watch is a digital watch ... the more traditional style watches you've been modelling, you wear when you dress up and go out on a special occasion

Been wanting one since 2003.
