A Rolex, Yet Better - for a 10th of the price...

Just got mine in the mail, put it on a C&B Nato and wow is it amazing. So much watch for the money. Cant't take it off.

I have one myself that I bought from a seller in Japan when eBay had a 15% coupon. Great piece. I put mine on a StrapCode jubilee.

What color is your NATO? Looks very nice.

Here's the link: https://www.crownandbuckle.com/sand-...nato-20mm.html

Crown and buckle have the best, most affordable natos in my opinion.

Seriously though, great looking watch. I’ve got a Sarb035 and it’s a fantastic watch for the money.

I like my Alpinist

But I Don ‘t think it’s in the league of my Rolexes.

For the money the Alpinist takes a bit of beating-I prefer the green one to the blue but own both.

I wear my green one more than my Platona!

I'm about to put a basically unworn one of these on ebay when I'm back from vacation if anyone wants to make an offer.
Got a great deal on a 1966 pepsi and so need to thin down the collection.
