        16570 on a Bark and Jack nato, highly reccomend for anyone who likes nato straps. The fabric is thick yet soft (after a few hours wear) and so comfortable on the wrist. Best nato I’ve had.

          Couple years now with the SM 300. And a fairly new pair of 19 oz lefties (maybe 25 wears).

                @MTpockets I like your Seamaster.

                I have been trying to find an old model Railmaster in 42mm on the bracelet but there are not many out there

                  @Danimal506 thx. Yeah IWC made some nice tool watches back then. This is the titanium version . Same watch also came in stainless steel. They show up for sale once in a blue moon.
                  Cheers 😊

                    @Bridger I bought the 39mm version in 2009 and still love it. Really underrated watch in my opinion.

                      @IrishHeart totally agree that it is underrated.

                      I really like the subtle style compared with some of the Omegas in the line up.

                      I have lusted after it for over 15 years now.

                      Do you wear it on the bracelet?

                        @Bridger I do wear it on the bracelet. I originally bought it on the leather strap which was my preference at the time, but I got it serviced last year and swapped for the bracelet. It was genuinely like having a new watch and I love it.

                          @PJ I have just looked up this watch and seen that it was 2000m!

                          At first glance I assumed it was 200m.

                          Holy Scooby snacks, that is deeeeep...

                            @IrishHeart Yes, I bet if feels like a completely different watch between the bracelet and a strap.

                            I feel like that with my IWC Mark XV, which I prefer on the strap as I think the bracelet is too formal. However, I much prefer my MM300 on a bracelet. So, it depends on the watch and what look you're after I guess.

                              @Bridger not on the original calf strap, that is stored away, it's currently on a perforated racing strap with deployant clasp. My Monaco is the first McQueen re-issue from the late 90s, 1/5000. I love it! The lume has patina'd nicely. Sometimes I wear it on the modern Monaco bracelet.

                                    @Selvedger That is a really nice piece. I like the simplicity of the cleaner face. I like it on the bracelet too.

                                    Mine is a newer more busy version (not as cool as yours).

                                    I like it on the strap with a Panerai style buckle.

                                      @Bridger - thanks.

                                      Meant to respond sooner. Did you ever consider the trilogy Railmaster? Has a look similar to my 300. I almost pulled the trigger on that Railmaster before. Also tough to find as they only made 3500 or so of them.

                                          @MTpockets I have seen the trilogy Railmaster, and don't mind it.
                                          However, there is something about the details of face of the previous version that I particularly like, which is why I lust for it.

                                          If I was just generally looking for a smart blackfaced watch, I would probably scratch the Grand Seiko itch before an Omega.

                                            @Bridger - good point on Grand Seiko. But I wouldn't waste a GS purchase on a black dial. Any GS I would pick up would have to feature a lighter, textured dial. White Birch comes to mind.
