Comes with 2 NATO rally straps, very nice leather rally strap, Milanese strap, very nice watch tool, and a beautiful carry case. Very good weight and beautiful green in the Sun. No seconds have which I'll have to get used to but the Chrono seconds it's nice sweeping action with flyback. And internal rotating bezel for second time zone.

Lovely! Stylistically very similar to the Tudor Heritage Chrono.
This one more so

I have only been on this WIS journey for somewhere between two and four years but it feels like I have been looking at these NTH subs for longer than that, which isn’t possible. So I promised myself that I would order one when they became available again. That happened about two weeks ago. The watch was supposed to ship about a week and a half later (NTH offered to cancel the order if I preferred to order from a retailer who had one in stock). I let it roll and passed the time reading old reviews and watching videos.

Then we had to take our son to the hospital. He is fine, but he has recurring respiratory issues and we spent four nights in the hospital. If you will allow me to wax philosophical for a moment, well, you have a lot of time to think about things…the least of which is a watch. I enjoyed [mention]Dub Rubb[/mention]'s honey moon post, thought I made a smart comment about which island [mention]Bbrou33[/mention] would pop up on next and thought about [mention]ManOnTime[/mention] and Mrs MoT. As luck would have it, the day we went home was the day the watch was delivered! What a wonderful distraction!

Here it is. I have been wearing it since Friday. After three days it was -4 sec total. I have a nitpick which I will save for later because I want to keep this positive. There are a lot of things I am thankful for right now…and then there is this cool watch as icing on the cake.

What island did you think I'd find myself on next?
Technically, living in Manhattan, I'm always on an island [emoji41]

Courtesy of Bbrou33's small wrist. What can I say, it's a Zilla. Actually, not as gargantuan as I thought, but, it is a Zilla.

Woot woot! Looks great! Is the DDP in the background sort of an easter egg?
