love my modded SNZF urchin...the 4:00 crown's annoy the living hell out of me so the SNZF is perfection.
And I love it on a NATO strap as opposed to the stock SS band, I put mine back on for a night but removed it quick!

This is the go-to place, right? http://www.newatchworks.com/watch-services.html
It seems that I am in need of their service...  Attached FileI can't really complain about this, though. I bought it in 2002-ish (and the second one shortly afterwards ( that "two is one, one is none" philosophy pays off again, since the 2nd watch was cheaper than getting a factory authorized service and cleaning). |

Wow, that's impressive. Yes that's him. You won't be disappointed. He can bead blast the case and maybe unfuck whatever happened to the dial & movement, lol. I think motor city watch works has a broader range of stuff like cerakote and movement upgrades (hacking for your 173), but I have no experience with them.

@gomerpyle
Just got pics back from Duarte. It looks badass. Now it will make the perfect dedicated auto-beater-Sub for the box of nato straps. Ugh I want a second MKII vantage to send to get blasted.  Attached File Attached File |
