Congrats @bpsmith and @dtf!!! ::rimshot::

Looks like there's currently 7 left to add to cart in the US.
Question is whether you can resist one of them?

Thanks for the nato tips, which I will be trying out once it arrives.

It's a great looking piece but this one is not for me. I'm still holding out for a better Senna watch. LOL.

In the pre-launch video, Andrew mentioned how the factory nato starts off pretty stiff and needs to wear in - I’m going to give it a try, but tempted to pick up a softer (and cheaper/more obtainable) nato to wear it on.

Sadly think that ship has sailed, for the current generation of TH leadership at least.

Really hoping TH get their design back on track next year!

It is tempting, I agree. Was going to buy a stack of them for my FXD, but not done so yet as have enjoyed wearing the OEM one.

I am tempted to try a beige one on this, as looks great in the OG Ti one. Bond nato could actually look cool too perhaps. Loads would suit the black dial and warm indices.

I'm in no hurry. I've been waiting for the right Senna watch ever since TAG got the rights back from Hublot in 2015. But none of the releases so far have pushed the right buttons for me.

If it were me, I'd also add the Solargraph Ti bracelet, $600 AUD or about $390 USD seems quite reasonable for Titanium.

I’m definitely going to price up the ti bracelet too.

I was very skeptical of nato straps, but felt like a change from the OE leather on my bb58 and didn’t fancy spending £££ on a OE bb58 fabric strap so bought a watchgecko strap to try. I’ve not got as far as putting it on my bb58, but wore it on my way beater for a couple of months and I really liked it. It’s super comfortable and my worries about it getting in the way and adding thickness to the watch proved unfounded, it actually sits better against the wrist than on the stock strap, because the rigidity of the stock rubber leaves it floating (my bb ceramic original strap was terrible for this).
Only ever had 2 natos. 1 is the OEM for the BB58 which is different from normal natos. It had specific spring bar gaps cut into the strap and doesn’t have the extra tail to fold over. More a pin buckle fitment minus the pin.

The other is an OEM Seiko one for my Arnie. Which has the keeper fit too close to the case. I do have the tail fit into the 1st keeper though.

Back in the day was never a fan, used to prefer rubber straps. But now like a OEM nato, never a fan of aftermarket things (odd I know).

I’ve handled the Omega natos and feel the are the best around. Believe they offer a few different makes now.

I was also a marketers dream after watching the ‘dink video on how the natos straps were made for Tudor.

I misread the original price as 600 USD rather than AUD. Might actually be worth considering. 👍🏽
