Ricky Lee -- July 28, 2010 11:42PM
..coming from you. 
The
'classic' part is summed up best by Bro. Meinhardt, I think. The fact
that this watch works so well on a NATO says a lot, IMNSHO, and is one
reason I had to make it mine.

Nice Ricky! I'm glad "my people" treated you right (my dad's family is
from the Cayman Islands - specifically he was the first born here in
the States).

CooL! 
Grand Cayman was great, though so was Jamaica. I'm torn between which was my favorite, but either easily trumps Cozumel. IMHO.

All else being
equal, I tend to root for the Underdog. So, while I would have happily
brought home a more mainstream brand like Breitling, Longines, Omega,
Tag, etc. had the spirit moved me, I'm perfectly OK with the fact that
the spirit moved me towards a more under-the-radar brand like 
.

That is gorgeous my friend. And what a testament to NATO straps, that you can put one on a RMW like that >>> (Views: 17)
DJM -- July 23, 2010 05:47PM
and it doesn't only NOT look out of place, but IMHO it looks fantastic!
This
whole thing leaves me with mixed feelings, though, you entering the RMW
realm. It's like when a really good student graduates. I'm happy for
their success, but I hate to see them go. 
In all seriousness, congrats on a beautiful acquisition buddy!

Ricky Lee -- July 28, 2010 10:51PM
I know! Dude said so himself, after I had the NATO rigged.
Remember, he'd never seen a NATO.. or so he said. He might've been stroking me, but I don't think so. Ennyway, I'd explained all about NATOs, and once I had it on me wrist, I held it up for his inspection and said "See? Ready for combat!". Genuinely not one to lose his enthusiasm after the Platinum Card has been swiped he exclaimed "It really is!". Even asked to try it on. I was happy to oblige, as it gave me a chance to shoot photos of his Grand Cayman LE 
.
Mind you, the watch deserves a bit of credit, too. Not every RMW would look as natural on a NATO as this'n does.

Heh.
Yeah, I know. Surely if we'd ever held an election for Least Likely To
Ever Own A RMW, I'd have been a contender, if not a shoo-in.
But, hey, you follow your heart. And my heart told me that I had to have that .

He did, and I got the distinct

paths with, and that's a natural fact.
Mind you, I believe I could give him a run for his money. Mayhap I've found the Retirement Career meant for me...

I was a bit worried about that meself!
But, luckily, we don't yet have Customs Stations at the Mississippi border, and Ft. Lauderdale was no problem. They just wanted to be sure I wasn't carryin' 1/4 pound of Jamaican ganja up me bum.
