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.

Nato compliance for [mention]Dub Rubb[/mention]. It doesn't work. The hoods over the lugs require that you place the strap in the lug then the spring bar. It's impossible to feed it through. Leather is too thick. Had to try though, right?

Not gonna lie. I think that looks fantastic!!! And I hate NATOs. That is for sure the first pic of a Reverso on NATO I have ever seen. So awesome bud! I suggested it in jest, but it's so freaking cool to actually see. It's kinda weird how good it looks. C&B chevron?

Thanks, haha. The Nato is actually from my Vario Trench. I also just realized I pulled a Bond because the Nato is 18mm and the Reverso is 20mm.

Four pushers equal two crowns? Ani Digi Thursday? Whatever...

Does that have a crown? How do you set the hands of it doesn't?

The hands are completely electronic.

Since the watch has Multiband 6 (picks up atomic clock signals) it sets itself. There is a manual time setting mode, and you can switch from your home time to a designated travel/world time. Any of those makes the hands move. Kind of trippy to watch happen. Maybe I'll take a video of it.

Whoa, that's cool! Please do make a video. In the middle of reading I was wondering what that looks like.

Overlooking the NATO tail, I don't think that looks half bad. Have you tried it on perlon yet?
