    Have you checked your bank balance. He has closed his production line down a few months ago.

    Yes, unfortunately mine never arrived and then he stopped replying to my messages. No refund was ever received despite numerous chasers.

    Does indeed look like one of the best MN clones but when I checked, sadly no 23mm or bronze hardware so I had to pass on one for the Tudor BBB.

    These are done properly but there are some quite ropey MN copies around, the CNS watch band ones for example are made back to front which means they can’t be worn with the strap properly looped - the clasp goes to the wrong place. When mine arrived I queried this but was met with silence. So they know full well, probably explains their very hefty discounts, getting rid …

    23mm is an odd lug width.
    Great watch though.

    And looks good on MN ... you can get away with 24mm which is helpful, so long as bronze hardware is available (though with this watch the more aluminium-heavy yellowy type of bronze - not too far away from brass, though not quite as yellow or anything like as quickly tarnished - works better than the dark, copper rich type).

    I've just ordered an alligator strap for my 'Hulk' from Liger Straps as I liked the look of the curved ends and just suddenly got the urge to try something different. Anyone else used them? I'll post up a photo once it's arrived.
