Team,

I'm on an active hunt for this watch for some time.

In general terms, I don't like military references on my watches but I was so impressed with this one that I choose to ignore this fact.

Several disappointments, one fake and finally I landed on a real one.

Quick morning pics:

The case, despite of the 42mm, wears big but very comfortable on my wrist.

Simple and beautiful:

Looks great on a B&W pic:

I believe that this watch was already discussed here.

I will try to locate the post and update here.

Thanks for seeing.

Cheers,

Nilo

Yes, we discussed it several times. I reviewed it when it was unveiled, during the SIHH 2010.

And Joe introduced it, when he got it.

A good movement, the Cal 899, and a pleasant 42 mm case, in stainless steel, with a strong dial are, undisputably, the recipe for a great Watch.

Easier to wear than the other NS watches, the Alarm which is 2 mm bigger, or the Chronograph, which is 4 mm bigger.

I just regret they didn't release it in titanium.

Otherwise, an interesting alternative to the Rolex Submariner.

Best,

Nicolas.

I started looking for this watch since our reviews here during the SIHH 2010.

Now I have two to blame: Nicolas and Joe (Baron).

Cheers,

Nilo

Are ingrained on my little photo skills because when I started with photography I did all processing of the film, in B&W of course.

Congrats on hunting down the JLC Navy Seals.  Looks awesome on your wrist.

...the same brands and also the same models. Big congratulations to you on your latest acquisition. It's a stealthy watch that I like very much.

I kept the NS for more than a year, and offered you when I decided to sell. I can guarantee you that it was all part of a plan that culminated in a keeper.

heresy!!!! i was kidding, daniel really offered to me before sell it, but as I already have the chronogmtdlc and i was out of cash i could not buy it to me!
