Stowa Flieger on...... a NATO 
I've had this strap knocking around for donkey's, it was originally bought for my Sinn 757 however when I tried the two together I really didn't like it, and I've never liked NATOs since. Didn't help it was the wrong size either
Skip forward a couple of years or so and I bought the Stowa though the croc strap was ever so slightly too long, so out of idle curiosity I thought I'd give the NATO a go. Low and behold we have a winner, IMO anyway.

Not a soul has ever spotted my Longines - well spotted it then said anything anyway.
It's good I suppose but it would be nice for someone to clock it and complement it once in a while! My mate with an Edox was complimented it up when I got it, but haven't had a compliment since.
Got it for my 21st and have been wearing it now everyday for 14 months, in which it survived a pretty serious motorcycle accident!

I have an old Seiko Qtz that I bought about 20 years ago, It dropped off my wrist whilst I was on top of an overhead crane at work, A drop of around 100 feet, I thought it was gone forever but I watched it descend and 'bounce' off an old hefty Lincoln oil cooled welding set and saw the direction it went!!It's good I suppose but it would be nice for someone to clock it and complement it once in a while!

I had ten min's searching and found it, The crystal was cracked badly but I couldn't believe that the second hand was still ticking away at it's usual one second intervals so I fitted an acrylic crystal and thought just how hardy these watches were.... That is until I looked at the date some days later!!
The date complication was fubar!!!!
The watch still runs fine today and I always change the battery when required though I never actually wear it now!!

Smaller than it looks in that pic, it's perfect on my wrist. It's got a quality feel, especially the strap and the deep blue background is gorgeous. One of the girls at work spotted it straight away, made my day!
Always wanted a Swatch but the bright colours were too much, this is the best of both worlds. There are New York and Paris editions too.
Swatch have made some very nice I would say "adult" looking watches. Always wanted a Swatch but the bright colours were too much, this is the best of both worlds. There are New York and Paris editions too.
The Steinhart ocean vintage military finally arrived today after a 6 week wait, I have to say at the price they're going for I'm impressed. The bracelet feels a little cheap, but that maybe because I'm directly comparing to my Mühle that I've just taken off.... Which isn't fair really.
Anyway, I threw the OVM onto a leather nato strap and I think it suits it really well.... Thoughts?
