I ordered it on the excellent Biwi rubber strap. Would be fun to have an Erika strap as well, though frankly the watch would then tower pretty high above the wrist.
Stingray II is live!

While I typically like rubber straps (and I have an ISO ready to try on mine when it arrives), I'm thinking I might sacrifice the height caused by a NATO / MN in order to eliminate the "strap gap" made more noticeable by these longer lugs.
Short lugged cushion case divers (Doxa, Eterna, Seiko, etc.) work great with rubber.
This watch may make me finally try one of those Benetto Cinturini rubber NATO's as they seemingly offer the best of both worlds - the security of a NATO with the quick drying comfort of natural rubber. I have shoulder-less spring bars waiting for this purpose.

It will look like this. Pics are of the TR but the Stingray shares the same case, bezel and crown.
My order made the cut, so it looks like you’ll be rocking EO #7!
I’m looking forward to seeing the photos of these when they begin to be delivered.

Actually, the stock crown for the original Tornek-Rayville TR-900 looks like this instead:

You are correct however I couldn’t find any crown profile shots with that crown. I actually wish the 660 had that style crown but at the size it is on the 660. The original crown looks dainty to me. The pic I found also made it easier for me to blend the two images.
Cheers!

More or less. Different dial and handset with a date.
Nothing yet for me. The last note I received from MK II suggested March 4th as the shipping date.
This date seems legit as I haven’t traveled in 2 years and of course my first trip since the pandemic has me out of town that week.

My status shows preparing for shipment. I am a literal stones throw away. Hoping to getting it early next week

I’m not even looking at my status as I am 2,000 miles away from my home right now. I can’t believe I haven’t traveled in two years and my first trip coincides with my watch delivery.
At least my ship-to is my business address where I have people who will sign for the package.
It‘s kind of ironic - after all that I’ve heard about delays with MKII orders, my delay is completely self inflicted!
