Nathan (Grissom) is the man>>>>>>

Just before the weekend the mailman drop off a little package and he shouted: Mail from US.

I didn't wait for something so it was a suprise for me.

I found this little plastic bag inside.



There was a nice box inside.





So I have to test it immediately.



And the Snowflake fits like a charm.



Thank you Nathan you are the man, I really appreciate it.

Jocke

Very nice gesture. Used mine this holiday trip and it really came in handy as I had a designated storage space for my Sub.

Enjoy your new watch vault as much as I've enjoyed mine (courtesy of Nathan too)!

Is that the *one* watch accessory you don't own?

Great gesture; and very useful little case. It sure beats wrapping up my watches in a sock when travelling.

Jocke, YOU Da Man!!!

Jocke so kindly recently sent me a Nato strap that he had in one of his fantastic photos, after I had inquired as to where I might buy one like it. Such a generous gesture deserved one in return, and I was hoping (as has been intimated above) that a small Oakley watch vault might be one of those rare watch accessories he DID NOT already have!

Jocke, I'm glad it arrived safe and sound, and that you and the snowflake like it!

I really enjoy mine and now, as they seem to be totally unavailable worldwide, it seemed like the perfect gift!

Hope the New Year brings many new "occupants" to the Oakley watch vault!

Your friend,

Nathan

ps.....I love the Nato you gave me Jocke, and I do believe you've help make me into a Nato addict!

Enjoy your gift Jocke!
