All I need is a Tux and an Aston Martin
I got my Real Bond Nato from Corvus today for my 5508. Now all I need is a Tux an Aston Martin and I'm ready for my Bond role Play! I opted for the 20mm rather than the 18mm since I think it looks silly to expose the spring bars.
It is very comfortable and highly recommended if you are looking for a quality strap.

The Needle? There are no needles on this old crusty watch
The watch was made in 1958..

The new Rolex hands are made of gold. This is a vintage watch.

I know the Bond look as I do it myself at times but this 5508 chose Shell Cordovan you had on there. I have been in love with this watch and combo since you got it.
