Thankyou Andy, I had no recollection, all that living has started taking it`s toll.

This one`s a nice one too, I`ll have to keep my eye out.

Mike.

I'm not sure what got me first, the look of the watch or the ad.....

In any event one of these is on the way......

Very nice Cam, you're a lucky boy.
That's a lovely watch, one of the few 'moderns' I'd covet.
Even looks good on a NATO...

Thanks Paul

I haven't given the NATO a go yet but I'm loving the watch! Interestingly the strap is two pieces.

Surprisingly heavy with the steel band but after a minute ir two you forget its there.

Cheers

I thought NATO's were a single strap?

This one is in two halves and you to remove the pins to put the strap on as the pins got through the sewn ends on each half.

Anyway, details details

Well every Tudor Heritage I have had (5) has had a correct one piece NATO with built in pushers????

I'd check it Cam tbh, sounds very strange to me?
