This watch is my second from Wilson Watch Works. I told him what I wanted and this was what I received. hearteyes.gif
It will have a nice home next to the 2K Diver. Excellent work!

Thanks! Now I'm debating if I should keep it on the Zulu or use the leather straps I just received from a member of the other big forum.
It's made of 5mm thick black leather with tan/off-white stitching along with a "Spartan" buckle. Decisions decisions..
I tend to favor the military look but I think the leather will change it's persona quite a bit.

Very nice!  Congrats ! ThumbsUp02.gif I'm a big fan of pilot's watches and love the inner hour and sterile dial, just like the original, except for the small second, which I like a lot too.  The Unitas 6498 is also one of the best choice for these IMHO.  The ONLY straps I see on these big pilot's, are thick leather straps, nothing else, no maratac, no stainless...  I personally don't like the look at all on Nato or Zulu, personal taste of course...I also have the same Revue Thommen Guillaume has (Hammerfjord) and I was wearing it on a Di-Model Chronissimo (very nice strap for that watch by the way) which I changed for a bond Nato (just like you Guillaumesubtlelaugh.gif) and I think it's going to be hard to take it off , but, it's a 44mm chrono pilot and not a  B-Uhr Homage.  Again, this is just my opinion and I've seen people putting these on rubber diver strap  (OMG, how can someone do that!!! mistake.gif :shock: :D)so...  One can do what he likes!!!  How is the lume on it?  Is it sapphire crystal? And what is the size?  Thanks, enjoy this one and wear it in good health, it looks fantastic hand6.gif

The case is 42mm and the dial is a mixture of C1 and C3. It's superb. There is a slight difference between the hands and dial markers.
The crystal is double coated AR sapphire. The back is mineral crystal. It's top notch stuff on this watch.

I'm still deciding on the strap choice..
