As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.

I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

I think you're gonna like that combo. I can't believe that Turtle is still available at that price. Is that a Helm strap? I keep saying I'm gonna buy Helm canvas but still haven't made good on it.

Sure is! Pretty excited to try both.

$25 + $3 shipping on the Helm site or $24.99 with free Prime Shipping on Amazon.

I was never a dive watch guy, but y'all wore me down...especially [mention]59yukon01[/mention] with his darn beautiful PADI turtle photos.

Balmain Retrograde Chronograph from Shopworn arrived today. Super-early, first impression? $59.50 well spent if your wrist is big enough ( mine is 7.5"). More to come...

My Heimdallr Trident Shark has an excellent fit and finish for the money. If that 62MAS homage is similar, I think you'll be very happy with what you spent.

I'll report back. I just need to figure out what strap would suit it best.

Just ordered some Haveston canvas straps. I didn't realize it for a long time, but the Haveston straps actually address my two main complaints with NATOs:

1. Foating keeper removes the "bun"
2. Single pass keeps the thickness down
