CG'less vintage Sub on Timefactors NATO.

First RWG outing for this...

The one I asked Jay to put back into production. He did.

I don't care if you can spot the flaws from 10 miles. It was cheap, it looks great, and it is watertight.

It hasn't scuba'd down to the Disco Volante, but it has been immersed in the Med.

The black makes it look so MI5 though! Well perhaps more SAS, but still. ;)

Overall, I like the browns better, but let me tell you TeeJay, not bad, not bad at all.

I know what you mean, the black does give it a more 'tactical' look, but strangely, I think it's the matte texture of the PVD which actually gives the impression of it being a 'stealth' watch, rather than the strap, which in all fairness, would be quite acceptable on a dress watch :)

In terms of color, Emily, her mum and her step-dad all prefer how it looks on the black, but personally, I find the black a bit monotonous, and prefer it on browns :)

I'll have to agree with you. A lighter strap gives it more presence. I think a caramel or even a lighter color will really bring out the black of the PVD. Thnx for the pic :)

And speaking of straps.........I just received this nearly new 7835/357 folded link from Andy for the 6263

Yes, it has subdial issues, but all of the criticisms I have received so far (during my travels in the wild) related either to the crystal (which I thought looked at least passable.....it looks similar to the original semi-superdome fitted to early 62xx Daytonas.....but it will soon be replaced with a beveled gen T21) or the cheesy rep bracelet (which, as you can see, has been replaced with a gen).
