Wearing my Tribute as I type

..lying in bed with a stomach bug. sad 


I will have to post pics later, but it's the steel version which is resting comfortably on my wrist via its z-matten ammo strap. 

I love the versatility of this watch and already have several canvas NATO straps ready and waiting for the warmer weather.

Thank you so much for attending the Roll Call, Amigo.
