After a week on a bracelet the WatchCo SM300 is back on a strap...just picked up this 'posh' NATO which I think goes quite well - fits the clean perfection of the watch...
Nice, Where did you got that nato from?

These guys : http://www.jean-rousseau.com

They have a little studio in Midtown ... They have a lot of nice straps and also custom design and make anything you want. A lot of French luxury goods brands actually out source their strap manufacture to them. I was there doing something else and the NATOs had just arrived...
If you fancy getting something, ask for Kelly, and tell her Lee sent you 馃槈馃憤

Andy's (@STANDY) Seiko, been on the wrist since Wednesday afternoon and now keeping good time.

I've grown quite attached to it but I 'spose I'll have to send it back to him now (I've only had it for about six months 馃榿).

Way before the 70s.

There was almost a right of passage for any servicemen docking/landing/lobbing there.

As soon as you stepped off:

1. Get an Olongapo bracelet in your service style for your watch.
2. Hit a bar and down San Mig in boat races.
3. Get a tatt.
4. Go visit a ............ (Oh, better leave that one out 馃槈).
