Mssr. Lambert's intent comes through loud and clear...
First off, it's my pleasure to share pictures of #10 with the community (hey, aside from #18 and #20, who's owners I'm good friends with, where are all the other Incursions?); and second, alas, if only I could attend IGOTT2, but life with a one year old, three year old, and a less-than-understanding-when-it-relates-to-all-things-horological-wife makes such a commitment difficult to make. That said, hope springs eternal in the human heart, and I do look forward to meeting with you in person one of these days and buying you a drink, over which you can share the "life vest" story with me.
Regards,
Adam
PS - I'm eagerly awaiting yet more updates...

Hello Guille!
Thanks for the kind words, hopefully my photos convey how special this event was. More on the way! -MW
Enjoyed the video of Jerome's presentation
And to hear his words about the thorough testing of the NSA watch. As others have already mentioned, you can definitely understand the high level of respect from this relationship. And what better than a true real-world test on the wrist of the Navy Seals...
re: Jerome Lambert presentation video...
Thanks ED-209! There's much more video but unfortunately it reveals the identities of some of the SEALs. I should be at the SoCal PuristS casual GTG on July 18 so fellow PuristS can check it out. -MW

Very interesting, but one thing I don't get, Ming.
The SEALs wore the watch a whole year? Since June 2009? I was aware that the BH NSA was born before, but I thought it was the project, not the watch. Can you enlighten me on this point, Ming? Best, Nicolas
Amazing...

Funny how the NS Auto looks small on the wrist
42 mm may be very small, when we see your pics! While, on my wrist, it is perfect. Thanks for this wrist shots series. Best, Nicolas
Thank you, MW!
Thank you, MW for a series of very interesting posts! The two watches looks great! And it’s good to know they are able to hold for any tasks the NS are performing. Best Blomman
