Finally got a sub! 16800

Fell in love with the matching patina dial/hands.

The only gripe is the bezel was replaced. Currently shopping around for bezels with matching patina (as close as I can get).

Its been keeping great time (~+2 sec/day).

I don't run it on the leather nato, just wanted to see how they would look together. Not bad!

looks great , does the leather nato add a lot of thickness to the combo though.

It does. With the bracelet, the watch "hugs" my wrist and the caseback kind of sinks into the top of my wrist a bit. With the nato, it just sits on top of my wrist and makes the lug section not touch my wrist at all. From viewing it straight on at the dial, it looks fine, but looking at it from any angle, it is evident it sits high. Ill try and get a picture of the difference.

And thank you all! and thanks for the link!
