F.A.R.T. approved.

He's been pretty clear that he is selling part of his collection to fund buying a building for The Armoury in NYC. Purchasing a storefront in a premier area in NYC is likely in the $10M+ range...so makes sense to offload a bunch of watches that just sit in the safe to help defray the cost.

No, no, I'm sure that it "looks like there is no money in menswear"

Swatch trash post ahead -

Anyone have a NTTD Seamaster? Thoughts on the titanium strap? I have an opportunity to pick up one for a good price, but the strap is the regular sized, which is too large for my shocking tiny wrists (6.5 freedom units). I just worry if I get it on the nato I will regret not having the titanium strap, but otherwise wouldn't wear it because it likely will suck for my tiny wrists.

Swatch post trash over.

George Red what a perfect piece! Had to chime in after that bit of inspiration.

Can you vroom vroom in a sedan?

Portnoy ... his recommendations have always been pretty good.

The only Portnoy I listen to

Omega do offer a short version of that Milanese strap according to my AD.

I tried the NTTD and the regular length strap didn't work for me at all and I have 6.5" wrist.

I've tried it on and have a similar size wrist as you. The regular titanium is too big. If you get the NATO and want the titanium, that will run you about another $1400.

Yeah,

Yeah, that is the kick. The watch has the regular sized strap, so I guess I would sell that and maybe buy the short strap. But I have only heard complaints about the strap, and there is copy-cat titanium milanese bracelet for less than $100 elsewhere.

Cheapest NTTD I’ve seen is over on Omegaforums. A guy from Europe is selling either version and covering customs if shipping to US. My Omega boutique said they’ll swap out regular for short provided the strap is unworn
