Yes. It’s cold comfort that there are even more extortionate prices for a bit of nylon out there (Omega, for example), but I have a couple Hamilton NATOs and they’re my favorite. They’re just about the perfect length for my wrist, so I can wear them without having to fold over. The only thing that’s a bit of a bummer is that the 20mm ones that I own have leather keepers instead of metal, which I prefer. Less visual weight, more comfortable since they never dig into your wrist, and they are altogether less jangly and clangy.

Anyway, they counter offered higher than I expected, so it may not happen right now. We’ll see, I remain patient. But I’m fairly well decided on the FXD. The limitations don’t bother me and as long as something doesn’t catch my eye even more between now and when I find the right one, it should be my next watch.
