Any strap suggestions?
Big fan of the nato but looking to switch it up - current front runner is a black leather rally but having a hard time finding something with curved ends at a reasonable price point.

Got lucky to find one in exceptional shape for a 20 year old watch, with boxes and papers and all. Paid a ridiculous amount though, if I could have tried out the watch for a week beforehand I probably would have bought a different watch with the money. At least it'll be easy to flip if I end up going down that road. I think it looks better in pictures and it's overhyped by Rolex fanboys tbh

I did finally create an Instagram account where I try to load an older watch pic in the mornings and a newer one later in the day if anyone wants to check it out.

Didn't realize how many Orients I went through back in the day.

Haha. I just went to the AD today to check that watch out again. Instead I fell in love with the Portuguese chrono again. I've owned both watches in the past but think the Portuguese might be next on my list. I decided to shoot a video of the watches I was checking out while I was there. Great selection of pilot and Portuguese watches there.

I love the mark 18 LPP, I can still stare at the dial and watch the light play on it. This and my 2531.80 are my definite keepers, the speedy might get traded for a more vintage one but I'll keep a speedy in rotation.

I will probably pick up the Portuguese chrono again shortly and hopefully that will fill the last slot for me. I try to keep it at 4. I do still have a Gshock and an Omega 2264 quartz I use as 'beaters' so don't really count those.
I have a hard cover copy of the book. Haven't read it yet though. Waiting until my baby is old enough so I can read it to her.

I also came across it looking for books to read to my daughter but she's still too young to actually get it

Regarding the Sub, I've tried everything on it but think it looks best on it's bracelet. If I had the no date version I think I could get away with more NATOs and such but something about the cyclops with the NATO looks off to me.
