In Knaresborough, by the looks of things, Andy. Nice watch and nice view! :thumbup:
Well spotted Steve. It was a bit bleak walking in from the campsite but I do love Knaresborough, some great pubs n food to be had. It’s the second version of this watch I have owned and my fourth Damasko but I do like this one.

Huh!?
Not that I would recognise Knaresborough, but I don't know how you could distinguish anywhere with the blurred nature of the background in that photo? Astonishing!

Fabulous Damasko in the foreground though - thanks for posting! :D

Trying a Nick Mankey Hook Strap.
The hype suggests that it is a bit of mucking around to get the fitting right, but once achieved, it is very comfortable.
That matches my experience so far.. :thumbup:

The red really pops against the bezel! I’ve heard hand mods can be tricky. Nice work!

Very nice indeed. I have had a few cases open in the past but quickly realized I was way out of my comfort zone. I would be too embarrassed taking it to my watchmaker all mucked up and asking him to fix my mistake. :lol:
