I picked this up a while back to scratch my GMT itch. It’s not a Rolex GMT Master with a Pepsi bezel, but it goes nicely with a Hawaiian shirt… It’s my travel watch.  | |||

I don’t think the perfect watch exists. Acquiring my grail watch only resulted in a 7-10 month lull in my watch interests, which then evolved slightly. I suppose I still have a grail watch to strive for, a vintage Heuer Solunar which ranges from expensive to ridiculous depending on its condition. When you consider an $80 G-shock rescue has the same capability and then some it becomes hard to explain to non watch enthusiasts. It’s a hobby/addiction that often seems to defy logic. **edit to add** copaup, those are gorgeous! Christopher Ward is one of my favorite brands ever. That is a sharp watch! The Speedy actually looks damn good on a green NATO. I’m green with envy!  Beautiful watches! You have exquisite taste.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The price of liberty and even of common humanity is eternal vigilance | |||

Thanks. I dig em. My only gripe with the Ward is the logo at 9 o’clock. I miss the old logo at 12. Bang for the buck I don’t think you can beat the brand though. And yeah. That Omega looks good on literally anything. I was shocked how good it works on an OD nato. | |||

I think you hit the nail on the head, Stickman! There is no "perfect" watch that (IMHO) negates the enthusiasts' recognition of quality offerings and the desire to acquire others. I'd also apply this trait to the recognition of quality straps and bracelets. Copaup's Christopher Ward and Speedmaster are no exception. That green NATO strap is beautiful and though I'm sure the OEM bracelet was very nice too, the ability to switch out straps in only a few minutes gives the owner a plethora of options. Prior to the arrival of my Hamilton Khaki Aviation, I ordered up several NATO straps and also a two piece leather offering from The Strapsmith. I switched out the deep blue NATO Supreme a few days ago and I think the new leather addition gives the watch a new look.

That is a SHARP looking Hamilton. I just ordered a two piece leather rally style strap with quick release spring bars for my Speedy. I’ve got a couple for my Wards, but they are 22mm and the speedy is 20. Those quick release spring bars are slick. Makes changing leather as quick as swapping Natos. The bracelet for my Omega is very nice. I’ve put it away in its box should I ever wish to put it back on. I spend a lot of time at a keyboard at work and I absolutely wreck the clasps. Don’t have to worry about scratching up nylon… | |||
