A very nice watch, no doubt
... and your reasons for liking it are much like my own. The only reasons I don't own one (yet) are concerns about whether I'd find it comfortable due to its height and case shape, along with the circle and text that replaces the moisture indicator. Not sure how this could be done better honestly, other than giving us an actual moisture indicator like the original.
What I love about this watch
-the plastic case in comes with -the name on the dial -the operating instructions -the price ( if you can get it) -the fact that I can dive with it -the whole no non-sense vibe I know it’s not really right pedigree as such, even if they have the rights to...
Let’s say that I spent a lot of time…
….training to hit the purchase button at the right second and have a quick payment source available. This was my 4th attempt in a year or more, so yeah you have to fight for it! But I am trained since I also collect Jordan 1s
Yeah, they did come up with the Lost and Found Chicago.
That was just before New Year. Did you see them? The anniversary year must be 2024 I think 🤔 ...
You got a pair of these?! Impossible!
I thought only bots were able to get them. This is a very nice picture 👌🏽
I tried to get them from Nike directly.
But had to buy them 8-10 days later for a 30% premium. If you go to early after the release it would be more. If you wait too long and they are sought after it goes bad. PS What is “bots” ...
Ah, bots…
the computer ‘shoe/sneaker bots’ are programmed to do automated tasks like checking inventory and purchasing in a way that imitates humans but MUCH faster and higher volumes. Read about it, but you’ll see that’s why almost impossible to win hot sneaker dr...
Thanks for explaining Armis
Yes I heard about these automated programs. I just didn’t have a name for them. One of my friends was able to get a pair of “lost and found”directly from Nike. So it does happen still, even for the hot issues.
That is great to hear. Because I really got angry at the idea of these bots.
I think there’s another Spider Man edition coming out at some point, which will also likely be hot. Still, your’s is iconic.
I might....
get a pair of newer AJ's later this year, I don't really collect anything so it's purely for everyday wear.... This movie is also coming out soon........
Cool
I wouldn’t really call it collecting either. Just obsessed by this 1984 design. I throw away the box and wear them.
Nice!
'84 is my birth year so I have a soft spot for products made back then . Wear them well!! Cheers, Filip
Highly likable!
Also, what an excellent wristshot, a Bukowski novel (or more) is something I hold great respect for .... Enjoy it thoroughly Jens, cheers, Filip
Thanks a lot Filip
Every man can enjoy a bit of no nonsense no BS from time to time. Just like Bukowski😂

I had the same concerns.
The additional height makes it less balanced. But not that bad after all. If you change the strap from the NATO to a vintage Tropical it would help a little. I really like the blasted stainless steel finish. Very combat. ...
Hi John, nothing here is vintage.
This one is from January 2023. Just limited batches and a legendary brand name.
Yep!
But I was suggesting a vintage rubber for it eventually. Like on the Seamaster here ...
👍 . . .
. . . and yes, I wandered over to their website - cool stuff, the price is right! Art
Thanks for checking in Art.
Yes it’s great fun to have it for that special occasion where you want something rugged for a bike ride in the woods or a swim by a Sicilian beach.
Thank you Salman.
I’m glad you like it. What is your favourite tool watch these days?
Thanks Don! What will you be sporting this Saturday morning where you are?
Saturdays are good for crazy stuff aren’t they?😊
