Yesterday I just had a crazy idea
I was going to change straps on my Vintage 45 Large date moonphase from the tan brown to the black when I thought, hmm, has anyone ever tried a NATO on a Vintage 45?
Impossible?
Well, possible and not too bad result. Gives it a summer look. Yeah, it works, not for eternity but fun for a few days.
And of course, also needed to try that right away with the 2599 Chronograph

Positively surprised
While both work, the grey on the chrono is the better combination IMHO - looks excellent!
The first combo is perfect!
Not sure about the second.... Maybe you should send the watch to me and I will find smoe better solution...! Best, my friend Blomman
Ah, you like the first one...me too
How about this, you send me your straps and I let you know the outcome
No fan of Natos but I think both these work.
Especially that one Blomman is trying to scam from you.
I'm surprised.
But I will say it came out really well...now you got me thinking that maybe I should be experimenting with my XXL moon phase big date as well.
Hmmhh.. For me +1 with the 2599 Chrono & cream dial contrast.. Ok, but less convinced..
.. a bit with 1st Combo of the Vintage 45.. Still interesting how much a watch character changes with other shoes. Best, hs
As I said, it was a bit of a crazy idea
I have taken my pills now and the leather straps are back on
