Great theme Abel!

For me, a go-to watch should be fuss-free (easy to set the time, and wind if needed), and easy to put on. The Hamilton is definitely fuss-free, and I can swap out the NATO very quickly to change the look. The added advantage is that NATOs are affordable a...

I completely agree with you about the Hamilton. Perfect size as a Go-to watch.

You are right! Lol! I hadn’t paid attention before but after reading you and viewing the pictures again I see that the stitching look like teeth indeed. Those straps belong to a lot of vintage style leather straps I bought some years ago. These particular...

Of course I understand your point dear Art!
By: Subexplorer : September 24th, 2021-21:16
That’s the philosophy which separates a Go to watch from the rest of the collection even if we love our Go to watches so much! Cheers! Abel

Not a low profile watch but a great Go to choice anyway Stoikos!

It is a good time to check it out in ADs, as they are a lot available now. For last year and early this year it was hard to see it in the stores. There is a model with rubber strap too. Happy shopping
I’m looking at a strange Nomos now
By: Cookies : September 25th, 2021-16:51
Called the Nomos Sport, with a black dial, thick lume and 300m water resistance. It is an obscure piece which looks like a dress watch that happens to be able to handle 300m of water.=D
Thanks :)
