NaviChief Posted June 26, 2007 Report Posted June 26, 2007 (edited) I bought a new bond NATO for the summer, influenced in part by Pug's pictures of his. I didn't like it at first, but after working it in alittle, I love it. I also removed the loose insert, filed it down and reglued it with waterproof silicon caulk. I am really happy with the look of the crystal height and beveled edge. Next I think I will work on the crown guards. Edited June 26, 2007 by TwoTone
Everythingape Posted June 26, 2007 Report Posted June 26, 2007 Very nice, Chief! Can't go wrong with that combination. And you and Pugwash have convinced me, I will get a Bond strap from timefactors.com, and some kind of sub-looking watch.
lazarini Posted June 26, 2007 Report Posted June 26, 2007 Chief , nice like it need to get one asap. Did u purchase that from Time Factors ? Regards laz
NaviChief Posted June 26, 2007 Author Report Posted June 26, 2007 Thanks guys, I got the strap from Howard at hxxp://www.westcoastime.com/ It was supposed to be the same strap as timefactors but quicker shipping for US based people. However, I later found out what arrived is not the same as advertised on timefactors because the stock of 20mm bonds constantly fluctuates. Howard swore up and down that it is the best made strap available though.
pwygant Posted June 26, 2007 Report Posted June 26, 2007 Thanks guys, I got the strap from Howard at hxxp://www.westcoastime.com/ It was supposed to be the same strap as timefactors but quicker shipping for US based people. However, I later found out what arrived is not the same as advertised on timefactors because the stock of 20mm bonds constantly fluctuates. Howard swore up and down that it is the best made strap available though. That is so funny as I did the exact same thing. Living here in the US, it does take some time to gethis straps. This way I thought I could cut down some time. I got a little adjated with Howard as he really needs to remove those pictures or "make it appear" that he is still selling Eddie's stock on his site. I like Eddie's straps for a few reasons: 1) Softer 2) Better length for me (I actually don't have to tuck the end in) 3) Softer on the wrist
stac Posted June 26, 2007 Report Posted June 26, 2007 I have the same combo and I think it looks fantastic It lasted two days because I absolutely hated how it felt on my wrist
Justasgood Posted June 27, 2007 Report Posted June 27, 2007 Handsome piece! Bond NATO's are always a Sub must have. Nice pics too.
eunomians Posted June 28, 2007 Report Posted June 28, 2007 Nice strap, nice watch, but most importantly: it's always the right time for a Guiness. Cheers
