 Some of you may remember my wanting to put my IW Pilot on a Bond NATO I was getting. Based on many of your suggestions, I left the Pilot as is, but was left with a what to do with the Bond strap. Well the strap arrived while I was out of town.

I contemplated putting my GLYCINE Combat on the Bond, but it just didn't feel lke the way to go...Sooooo...

A wave of inspiration hit me and here's what I came up with...

S.N.O.B. = Something new, old, borrowed.

New = The Bond NATO strap
Old = A Citizen quartz Sub style which had been languishing in a drawer.
Borrowed = The idea of course!! This is my homage to James Bond's rig in "Dr. No."

Unfortunately, I don't have a real Sub to play with so this will have to do! I think I spent $39.00 on the Citizen some years back and another $10 on the strap, So for less than $50 I can feel like the original and best Bond.

So here it is:
