rarer than a 4 legged leprechaun riding a unicorn....

So, Im minding my own business yesterday in the middle of high level mtgs for work, when I get an email out of the blue from good old Mark T (Drster)......Of course i take a break from my mtg as I know this will be good....He says he has something that he knew i had been looking for that frankly had given up on. Its one of those things where you can look and look, and never find it......Always count on Mark whenever i am looking for something.....Anonimo Professionale GMT BRACELET for my Nimo PRO.

To put this in perspective as to why its so challenging:

1. To actually find any Nimo bracelet for sale is almost impossible on its own
2. To find on that actually is made for the Professionale series is extra impossible since the end links have to be certain height and also have the cut outs to allow the case bezel screwsto fit thru
3. To find a Nimo bracelet, for the Pro model, that also isnt made for the Pro Chrono, but rather the Pro GMT is literally impossible since the lug height is lower than the Chrono version


Imagine how hard it is for all 3 of these things to happen......Unreal....Needless to say to sped over to Marks house after todays mtg to scoop it up.....Thx Mark for looking out for me and making it happen!!

That looks sharp. What was there before, a rubber strap ?

Congrats, it's always nice getting a surprise, especially one you had been hunting for with little success

Thanks for exposing me to the brand...looks like a mean looking watch, and I'm digging the bracelet. Glad you found one.
