A revival of the Watch thread
Decided to try out a BluShark Nato strap on my Tag Carrera in place of my trusty brown leather strap. I must say I'm loving the Nato strap. It'll be the perfect thing for the hot summer months.

With the Bond style Nato strap:



With the Brown leather strap:


I also have this one on the way which I think will accent the watch very nicely:

The Bond NATO looks great, but the black and red one ought to be the cat's pajamas. Post a photo, will you?

I agree. Can't wait for the black and red strap. I actually ordered that one first a full week ago last Thursday direct from the BluShark website. Taking forever to arrive. The Bond I got off amazon; it came in a day.

There'll be a photo for sure.

OK my movement came in for the Invicta I'm restoring.
It's a 2003 Omega style case and I've never seen one like it.
I have 2 new mineral crystals on the way for it also.

Nice watch. I have had two Steinharts I flipped. One I miss and the other I should be kicked for moving on.

The Steinhart is the Rolex without the snobbery premium.

...aaannd a month-and-a-half since making that post, I finally pulled the trigger on one. I got distracted by a few other models, but ultimately decided to go with my first instinct and get the one I wanted in the first place...and not get distracted by other Shiny Things.

Should be here in a week or so...as my first chrono, really looking forward to its arrival.

It’s a pre-Invicta Glycine Combat

I like mine a lot. It’s a great everyday watch.

I've been wearing the Alpinist almost exclusively. To the point where I'm really starting to like a smaller watch. My other watches are starting to look huge.


It may be time to thin the herd.
I'm still loving this chrono to the point where I haven't worn the Bulova Lunar Pilot in a long time. I may have to sell it.

Well, if you end up selling that Lunar Pilot please, put it here so I could have a shot at it. Thanks!!
