Thanks Ferg, I know not everyone likes the NATO look but I think it takes the watch well. I was also looking at my C60 yesterday during the German goalfest and for the first time thought it looked huge so something much smaller for a change.

As you know I'm not a NATO fan either....but it seems to suit the look of that vintage Rolex.

Today my Glashütte Spezimatic that dates back to the year I was born... Still looks great, doesn't it. I am really glad that I have found the blue and gold nato strap that tones down the dressy character of the watch.

Old pics as well, but I wore this again today - 3rd time this week!

This is when I first got the watch - you can see the dial had less gold speckles/patina then.
