First day with my new "big crown" MKII Nassau.
It is the perfect counterpart of my gilt dial - gilt hands C3 Kingston.
Thank you Bill !
At work I have only time for a quick + dirty wristshot.

We made it for a building in Berlin, some years ago.

Well- It's been a long day.

Paradive 034-123 has been less than one second off (fast or slow) over the last six days - This is compared to a GPS-satellite clock.

Thank You Serdal, for your good wishes, These are regulated in six positions, according to the spec sheet, before they are shipped.

I work a twelve hour shift, and the watch has been worn for about 14-15 hours per day (since I received it) and in the box when not wearing it. Funny though, I posted this last evening just before I went to bed, got up this morning at 0420, did my normal routine, and when I got to work and checked it against the GPS clock, It gained three seconds last night and this morning!!! -Made a liar out of me again. But, the accuracy is till very good. (My Kingston was about 5 seconds fast over 7-days time if I remember correctly - also very, very good.)

I am very satisfied with all of Bill's work. |>|>

Today the Vantage went to work with me on the braided NATO - it's very comfortable, and you hardly notice it's there.

-Best.

Agreed.

I have seen some fabulous photos of the Kingston on this forum. However nothing can truly capture the elegance and beauty of the guilt dial as seen by the naked eye.

:-D

Re: What MKII Are You Wearing? (Later on in the day....)

I just got my Bonetto Cinturini HD strap in the mail, so it was swapped onto the Paradive for the afternoon. When I ordered this, I also ordered MKII's excellent rubber strap and buckle also, but because of the large wrists I have, I could only wear it with the buckle in the last hole. :-| It is thin and super-comfortable, but I knew I had to look for something a little longer....So.... :-s

It's comfortable! Beefy profile matches this brute of a watch better, I think.

-Enjoying it here, hope you are too. -Cheers! |> |>

The links in this bracelet are fully articulated at each joint - this makes it very flexible and able to comfortably conform to the wearer and activities....

-Best to all.

It's just great!

Figured out how to rest the watch when not wearing at night. For accuracy; +1 second since 10AM on 22nd by GPS satellite clock. Thanks Bill! I'm very pleased with this! |>|>

|>|> It's a beauty - I like the profile with that crystal - acrylic?

As far as oiling to darken, I'd just add that some neatsfoot oils can irritate sensitive skin, like on the underside of your wrist or lower arm, especially if the strap is wet from water - anyway, that was my experience.

Anyways, that's a beauty -Thanks for posting!

-(It is going to be awesome on that Oyster bracelet, too.) :p

Oh, and this what I'm wearing, today.

The 'original MKII' for me, my Ollech & Wajs based MKII (told by original owner that it was one of fifty Bill modified in the early days, when he was still selling mod parts, just before he started his own line of fine watches.)

-Cheers to all, have a great day!

Man, is that a gold date wheel? That's got to be the best looking date version of the Kingston I've seen; I didn't know that the gold wheel was an option.

It's very nice, and Thanks for posting. Wear and enjoy it in the best of health!
