It’s looking very good on that nato.

It seems to me that with the new Evo9 case, maybe due to lug height, natos look better then straps generally as with straps there seems to be a huge difference between the height of the strap to the height of the case ratio, as natos sit higher passing above the pins imho they look more appropriate. The Evo9 case ( for me ) is the best case from GS as it somehow looks better than the 44GS or 62GS cases on my wrist. Agree with the lug width. I read somewhere that the lug width is always bigger than the diameter of the case as a GS design future, need to recheck though as I’m not 100% sure.
Congrats on that sick looking white birch, a not very distant cousin says hi 👋🏻

Have to say that I was immediately sold on it when it came out and while I needed to wait a bit to get to where mine was waiting for me it’s been a pleasure ever since. Some have had issues with the accuracy but mine has been perfect in that respect. The ...  

Looks great!

How's legibility? I have really been thinking about the slgw003 releases this year...

For me it’s excellent - there is always enough contrast between hands and dial 😊👍🏻

Quite interesting releases coming up indeed 🤞🏻

Looking good!

That is a stunning combo

Great pairing of gray and blue tones. I saw the same model in a showcase recently and I was quite taken by the texture of the dial, a real masterpiece!

A bit shoutier than the Snowflake ❄️

But definitely has a personality all of its own 😊👍🏻

I’m a big fan

GS do such great dial surfaces

That I fully agree with!

 
 By: KMII : May 9th, 2024-07:02
Very much a fan of every single one of the few I have 😊👍🏻

Amazing dial.

What a great watch

Definitely like what came out here!

Not a fan of the countless limited editions nowadays (a tad too Swiss in its inflationary approach in the meantime) but most are well done IMHO 😊👍🏻

Exactly what You Said👍

Things somehow never stay as they should be, eh? 😁

Maybe it’s a sign of ageing 😂🤷🏻‍♂️

Funnily enough…

 
 By: KMII : May 9th, 2024-07:02
Have never seen one live 🤦🏻‍♂️ Time to move to a proper city 🤞🏻

Thanks so much!

Been a trusty NATO for quite some years and pairs well with so many watches 👍🏻🙏🏻

Where did you find that NATO?

Long time ago…

 
 By: KMII : May 10th, 2024-19:12
Believe it was HNS NATO that I found on IG 🤷🏻‍♂️

Thanks so much for the kind words!

 
 By: KMII : May 9th, 2024-07:03
Sometimes one is just lucky. And needs to wait for a minute or so 😁

Thanks a lot for both!

 
 By: KMII : May 10th, 2024-19:13
The felicitations and the appreciation of the combo. Striking the dial certainly is 😊👍🏻

It’s looking very good on that nato.

Wonderful shot as a contrast 👌🏻👍🏻

With the opposing dial 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 You may be right on the NATO and Evo9, not so natural on other GSs I have 😊👍🏻

Definitely a fan : )

Available now in a variety of colored dials, but I still favor the original silver. Looks great with your strap. It's also nice to hear that yours is running w/in manufacturer's specs. From what I've heard from several ADs and other collectors, yours mayb...  

I have also heard of several that have sent their in…

For servicing for that very reason. Hopefully that will get sorted with more experience with the movement 🤞🏻
