No 16 (my lucky number!) is here. Put it on a Canvas as I will keep all the Zulus and Leather Nato starps (4) unworn fro the moment.
Looks perfect for me!

I'm quite pleased with mine. I'm inexplicably always underwhelmed by RAF NATOs so mine went on a spare Admiralty grey "proper" NATO on arrival. This morning I decided to try it on an Omega kevlar that has been languishing since I managed to get my X33 onto a bracelet.

I'm not regretting the absence of wabi. Yet.
Number 124 has landed here (thanks for posting as agreed so it would land on a Tuesday Ewan, much appreciated). Superb packaging.
First impression having just put it on - very nice, good size, well put together, I like it a lot, not keen on RAF Nato's myself, so it's currently on a Bond proper type Nato & looking good. I like the Nato stock number with 870 in, as I was born in August 1970 (tenuous I know, but I like it).
It's making me smile when I glance at it, that's always a good sign.
One thing that I had forgotten is it doesn't have a continuous running seconds hand, that caused a momentary "oh god it's stopped" moment when I first tool it out !
Well done Ewan.
Cheers
Dave
Thanks Ewan. Love mine more than I expected to.

I much prefer the RAF strap to a NATO,but unexpectedly, it’s the rather excellent cordura strap that it’s currently on.

No 126 has just arrived. Yes I expected the cordura to be the one of the three (grey and tan leather) I would like the least but that is the one it is on at the moment. Really like it and it is great value! Thanks Ewan. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...0a2c527b48.jpgQuote:

And the turbine is a nice personal legacy piece.
Congratulations Ewan. It's superb, and my colleagues are very envious!
Great combination, what strap is it and where from?Quote:

However, a grey Eulit perlon comes in at a very close 2nd for me. Like the RAF strap, it’s very comfortable and will make a nice alternative for the summer months.
Does anyone know if Ewan will be selling the Cordura strap as an accessory?

That looks very much like the Timefactors Two Piece Nylon in coyote brown - I like the look of that and I'd order it right now for mine if Eddie wasn't closed to ordering until Tuesday next weekQuote:

The Off-White does look really nice - and I hope you produce it.Quote:

This is a really lovely looking timepiece congratulations to both Eddie for His superb PRS-45 and to Ewan on the 6BB it is really lovely to see two Independent British watchmakers taking on the big established brands.
Got mine today - delighted with it.
Thanks to Ewan for bringing such a great watch back 👍
I've had mine 2 weeks now & it still raises a grin when I look at it. It's a really lovely thing.
Good size too, just slides under a cuff nicely but still feels substantial.
I look forward to the next Newmark.
Dave
I feel the same, really very pleased with it. Nice size and the acrylic crystal really suits it.

Shop's open for both the 6BB & HS :eagerness:
https://www.newmarkwatchcompany.com/index.htm
Yup, just got one. I was going to sign up for the kickstarter, but when it happened I could not commit. I know it is now a bit more, but as observed by Ewan on the Facebook page, he is actually going to start making a profit on them! And it comes with two straps, of which I'm growing too liking the khaki cordura more and more.
Or maybe a NATO Bond... or a mesh... or?
Just ordered one, it's still great value at the full price.

I managed to scratch the glass- fixed in 5 mins with Polywatch! Back to spec, shows the practicality of a plexi as well as the ‘warm’ image it gives

Great watch

Got Mine while at the GP Surgery having My BP checked 066 arrived and on My wrist plus a really fabulous gesture by Ewan He very kindly included a Speedbird strap in the package initial impressions Wow My Wife also commented on how clear the dial was I remember this watch as My QFI Pat Lander wore one issued to Him when He flew Vulcans I owe Pat a lot He made Me the Pilot I am today and He was ans still is one hell of a Pilot.Ewan if You're reading this,fabulous service and really love this I may end up buying the Aerotimer as well as its a really lovely dial/bracelet combo.
Quick update its a bit smaller than most of My watches but is soooo very comfortable and everytime I glance at My wrist it reminds Me of Pat Lander,"Gilani don't pull the power back watch your Airspeed,that's it",oh My how I miss those days the other thing that has impressed Me is the Lume which is brilliant all in all Ewan and Eddie(For the Aerotimer)You guys rock.
#059 arrived in Rome, Italy today! I ordered in Friday afternoon and it arrived this morning!
Amazing service and the watch is truly very very nice. I prefer it over the CWC re-issue I had and sold previously!
Great job Ewan!
Thanks !
Hi all
Lots of really positive stuff about the 6BB on this thread which makes it all worthwhile - thank you!
We're down to less than a handful now which I guess is a good sign!
Once again, many thanks to you all :-)
Cheers
Ewan
#108 received a new strap and a new friend last week.

Was watching an old war film last night (they who dare) and when they synchronised watches, they were all Newmark's! Made me smile and think of my new watch and then this thread so I could post this drivel which I found interesting but everyone else will think is boring :)
Great little watch. Wear it quite a lot.

Putting in a shameless plug for the current charity raffle with a Newmark 6BB amongst the prizes, here:

I know that half the forum already have one of these fantastic reissues, but you’ll have no problems moving it on or it would make a great gift!

A nice way to support a pair of very worthy organisations, and there's also a cracking Newmark 71 Sports and a bunch of other great prizes.
