I am the second owner of this beautiful watch.I have owned it since March 2023.It has been worn in rotation with many,many other watches.I am still really bad at taking pictures but check my feedback and reviews and see how I treat my watches.The previous owner said that he wore it 4 or 5 times on the rubber strap.I have never worn it on the factory rubber and the NATO has never been unwrapped.You can't buy the newer regular stainless steel models for this price.I would think you know that this watches retail price was $4600.I will include the Blue fitted Crafter Blue strap that I have worn this piece on the majority of time.
