Apparently it wasn't an intentional choice. My daily wearer Hamilton (the watch in the ACE Hotel pics), came with a 16mm strap with 18mm lugs, I found it annoying. I do have a couple of the Real Bond straps from Corvus and I really like them, very comfortable and a cool color combo. -Jon RogD,

A Bradley is certainly on my list. Speaking of which I just checked the Corvus website and was very interested to see that Bond, in the film Goldfinger I think, wore his Rolex with the Bond Nato strap you mention above in a size too small for his watch-- I mean, with an 18mm strap instead of a 20mm strap. I noticed in the photo of his watch on the Corvus site that you can see the metal bar thing at the side of the strap cos the strap's too skinny, and then when I read it was intentional I thought... cool. I'm wondering now: is it some kind of trend or something to wear a Nato strap that's a little skinny? I'm intrigued... R Thanks Jon, will do. A Bradley is certainly on my list.

Watching him destroy a steak knife on the watch was incredible. It is my ideal everyday watch. It's a very impressive watch in person, simplicity well executed. Let me know if you get one.

I'm a sucker for those coin edge bezels and a watch with a bit of history too you know. I'd drop 1300 on this one for sure. Thanks for the heads up.
