I ended up with the 925 BB on another camo NATO strap for a bit of urban hiking aka "shopping with the wifey." 🤣🤣

Love the low-key uber stealth factor which makes for a cool daily driver / beater and no worries about someone wanting to chop off my hand 😉

Really good proportions on this piece. I only wish for a bracelet with microadjusters. My classmate borrowed this piece, and wore it to the hospital, and the senior doctors were going gaga over it. They mentioned that this piece has a long waiting list. I think a lot of doctors are drawn to mechanical watches because the term “mechanism” is always looming on their minds - “what is the mechanism of the sickness, what is the pharmological mechanism?” Have a great week J.
