New kid on the block

Just wanted to thank DavidSW for another great watch. This one caught me by surprise as ive really been lusting over dive watches in recent years and hadnt thought of adding an aviators watch to the stable. But there are so many great GMT shots out there that it really grew on me and I had to have one.



Also for the holidays I had an old nato lying around and decided to throw it on my sub for giggles. I always thought they felt to cheap to throw on a nice watch but im really enjoying the change. I think I picked this one up for a couple of bucks a few years ago on Ebay.



Thanks guys, sorry about the poor photography skills!
