Well I tucked it in and looked at it once and not noticed it since. Would prefer it not to be there, and I could probably tuck it away underneath perhaps, but not really an issue for me tbh.

Difficult to show it but this is literally showing it at its worst:

Put the heating on just so I can switch to short sleeves and ogle the new purchase. 🤣

Minor issue with delivery yesterday, as left my Wife to receive the parcel and she missed the courier, as he arrived early and she was walking the dog. Made sure I was in to receive today and has arrived reasonably early.

Anyway, number 056 for me, which is cool. Would have picked 012 if was given the choice, but was never gonna be that low from buying online.

First thoughts are that everything I hoped for from WOTY, and then some. 😊

Makes my Orange WBP201F looks massive next to it, but it looks and feels lively in the wrist.

Massive box, so was hoping for something extra T&T related in the box, but was just well packaged. No complaints there mind you.

Looks fantastic.

I’ve the Black Professional 300, but this one could be my daily diver once I take receipt of it. The one bugbear of the Pro 300 is the 43mm diameter on my 6.75” wrist, the 40mm Sundowner size and warm colours oozes class in a smaller probably better suited size for my wrist.

Does the seconds hand hit most of the markers on yours?

You won’t be disappointed!

My Orange Pro 300 fits fine on my 6.5” wrist, as I do like bigger watches, but this size is also floating my boat too. I agree that it’s probably down to the colours and materials used.

As for the seconds hand, it’s difficult to say for sure as friends on the light and the angle to the source, but it’s almost bang on tbh. If there’s any variation it’s minuscule.

Yeah the Pro 300 size fits me well tbh.

Good to hear the seconds hand is hitting the markers well. Enjoy the watch, it will around the 10th December before I join the party.😁

Well worth the wait. Post up your number and some photos once you get it. 👍🏽

I just had a call from the courier saying there’s an issue at the depot and they can’t deliver til Monday. Somewhat skeptical I’ll ever see this, but keeping fingers crossed!

Yours looks amazing! Better than in the press photos

That’s really disappointing and I am gutted for you. Fingers crossed that it’s all sorted by Monday. 🤞🏽

That's the way to do it. 👍

The way I look at it, it's just part of the NATO's military-ish rugged look, comes with the territory.

Photoshopped the bracelet on (badly) to show what it would look like...
Hmmm, given that photoshop, I think it looks better on the green Nato strap.

Nicely done, thank you.

Whilst it’s a cool option, I have to agree with @BillC3 in that the green nato gives it that edge which the bracelet doesn’t.

Have to give it to T&T that they made the right choice.

Congratulations Mate.
Great photos too. #56 is pretty good.
I was considering #12 as its my favourite number but decided on #2 being the lowest available at the time.
Wear it well and with pride.

I agree the green goes very nicely with the watch and the bracelet looks less... 'unique'. But I would still choose the bracelet. Maybe if there was a green rubber strap that would be the best option.

12 is my lucky number too. 👍🏽

2 was a good shout though, I agree.
