Excuse me but I think it is the "Non-Date Submariner" thread.

I love my DJ, but I really want a Sub. Definitely going to be my next purchase. I love the looks and style of them, classic and modern at the same time.

Sorry a foot won't do it... I've already offered Ken an arm and a leg! He said he'd take my right side so that would leave me my left wrist to wear the MilSub on!!

I want to keel my arms for the watches...that's why I'd be willing to forego a foot.

For your RAF...did you get it from Corvus? And is yours the thicker fabric that they've recently started using? I have a Corvus Admiralty...and I'm not crazy about the fabric.

Grumpy Badger · 19 May 2011, 04:42 AM

Yip it is Corvus and yip, it is on the flimsy side, but I think that actually makes the look more authentic.
I would put it on a proper G10 if I was off to climb a mountain but I find the Corvus is fine for my day to day wear (and I'm pretty hard on watches, even in the course of a normal day).

I'm convinced! I'm ordering it now. In 18mm of course!

I'm also slightly annoyed at the hole locations...they are a bit more spreadout than most NATOs and I'm right in-between holes (of course).

No matter...it looks totally badass, so I'm going for it!

I hope you're as happy with yours as I am with mine. I feel responsible now, since I have clearly been your enabler!!

I measured the gap and at a very rough guess I think it's 6mm between holes.

I've been kicking the idea around for a while. I started with the Corvus NATO Admiralty. Then I got an olive drab and black/grey/black Maratac NATO.

I think the Bond RAF in 18mm will round out the collection nicely!

I'll post pictures as soon as it arrives.

Grumpy Badger · 19 May 2011, 05:05 AM

Cool! I'm looking forward to seeing it! As an alternative to the bracelet I think it's best for the one, true Sub!
