Not sure why, but I know I am in the minority here, but I think that the NATO straps, cheapen the look of an expensive watch. YMMV.

Not if you do it right...

Ha!
A couple issues here.
1) He's wearing a NATO strap with a tux. A WHITE tux to boot!
2) The strap is about 4mm too small, and looks unstable and a little goofy.
 
Taking all that into consideration... it still is 007, and it's simply smashing! There really wasn't much he could do wrong...

The first one is okay but I'd get a different strap. The second ones are a fine looking bunch of watches. I don't see anything there that would ID someone with the military.

I have a Stowa Antea 365, never leave the house without it. Has survived multiple snowboard trips and skateboard sessions Should really find some time to take some pictures, I think it looks better now that you see that the watch has some history (I obviously haven't gone easy on it).

Another Head-Fier with an Antea! Awesome! They're great watches.

A friend of mine is waiting for his Stowa and his Nomos Glashutte. 
 
I hope I don't like them.  I don't need another hobby right now!!!
 
unsubscribed!
 
Trying to be happy with Seikos and Orients and Citizens.  (Orient is supposedly 50% owned by Seiko.)
 
I got one of these as a gift with black face- friend said he found it for about $38 on eBay.
 

 
It's inexpensive but I love it.
 
The cool thing is the black face has a very shallow guilloche that looks like the alternating foam pattern in a soundproofed room or anechoic chamber...
 

 
 
 I'll see if I can get a picture of it with a macro lens tonight in case anyone wants a good, inexpensive watch...

I have 6 of these, strategically placed around my livingroom, and although they have improved the noise reverberations in the room exponentially, I am upset because the foam is now starting to deteriorate quite badly and falling apart all over my carpet.

I gave up wearing a watch when I realized that it could prevent me from being in the right place at the right time. Now my little 30-40 wind-up toys are in a bank vault unable to make anyone late or early.

Okay- it's a stretch to go from anechoic insulation to the guilloche on my ($38) Orient but it satisfies my new audiophile sensibility nonetheless:

^^^ Really nice pictures, it almost wants me to buy the same watch

^Thanks, here's my friend's new Nomos Glashutte:
 

 

[jerry007]

A pair of fine looking time pieces! Nice! :-D

 

[shane55]

CEE TEE. You amaze me.
Great pics, and you described that dial perfectly!
 
And as much as I hate to say it, your friends Nomos is pure junk. Please send it to me immediately so that I can dispose of it properly. 

 
That's a gorgous movement! Nice decoration.
 
cheers.

$38? Is that a typo? Please say it isn't a typo.
