You don’t often see a “New Old Stock” Autavia GMT so I think this one deserves a couple of simple, non-artistic images just to show exactly how this one looks in the flesh..

Damaskos are never the easiest watches to shoe. The white stitched strap that accompanies the watch from new is not to my taste. Damasko as a company stubbornly refuse to issue a bracelet for their watches despite repeated outcry from their loyal followers, myself included. As such, you’re pretty much left to your own devices with regard strap choice and my choice is this custom ammo strap by DB10 Straps.

Seiko 6306-7001.

So the Christmas tree just went up in our lounge. My lovely wife did a great job of insuring that barely a needle escaped decoration and I did a great job of  insuring that my watch box got into the spirit of things..
