Finally here. All I can say that it is better that I had expected. It is in as NOS state and ticking very strong. I have temporarily put a black NATO on until I can find the right leather racing band.

Hi,
Great 2-eyed with a sleek design. In particular, I like the checkering details on the outer rim of the face. But just some caution on your NATO - seems too narrow for the lugs and this may cause some tension strain on your spring bars as you move about your usual day and the narrow strap "plays" from side to side on the wider lug width. Even if you are doing this on tempo basis, might be prudent to be a little careful. I did this for some time on an old Seiko Diver's and one day the spring bar just gave way from the unbalanced "load" of the narrow strap. Fortunately, the watch simply fell on softgrass. Just an input. By the way, what's the movement of your watch? Regards.cool10.gif

Thanks Guys for all your kind words. bigrustypig,( Great name), thanks for the advice, will try and get a better strap ASAP. As for the movement. It is a Valjoux 7733. There is a picture in the montage that shows it.

Very nice, but that NATO is at least 2+mm too small for the lugs!
