Dad this one looks promising. Quick learner. Did you notice how the watches in the picture are not focussed properly, gents? That's not bad photography or anything, its, ehm... depth of field. To emphasise the beauty of the NATO's. Very cleaver, you'd normally use say, F5.6 or F8 to get everything in focus. But, you being smart, thought NO! 'll use F4 or probably F2.8 & invoke differential focusing to concentrate the eye on the Straps, especially the leather "Seks Riem!" You Sir, are cleaver.................

Can't help but shed a little tear, but 't'is a happy tear, from this feeling of finally being understood...

I've got a few on Nato's, just not sure how I feel about them, maybe I should try a 18mm on all my 22mm lug watches . . . that could sway me. I say give it a go

WNUW 07/07/2013 Gone with this today, not sure what it is, picked it up at a carboot sale, half hidden in a box of watches. Anyone know what it is, not a NATO that I've come across before. I think it might be a ZULU highbred. Anyway got a slug problem that I'm supposed to be addressing but instead find myself assholed on the couch on my second jug of Pimms watching the Wimbledon mens final.

Kingrat - is that a Sumo crown on your MM300?! Or a Sumo-style crown from Jake at Dagaz Watches? Do tell... If it's a signed Sumo crown, I'd love to see some more shots of it. My MM300 is sporting its original un-signed crown, but I've always wondered about having s signed Sumo crown fitted. Lovely collection of watches, BTW.

Its a Sumo with a MM300 dial and handset. I wasn't sure about the whole thing till I got it on the NATO, now its true love.

I can't believe I didn't notice the case, bezel, and bezel insert - I was so drawn to the dial, I didn't even notice. VERY nice thunbsup.gif
