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

Spot on Ewan. Thank you.
Tucked away 😁
No 13 landed and I have to say, it's stunning. Despite best efforts I don't think that anyone has managed to really do it justice in their photos. Dial, hands, case and straps all exceed expectations, even after reading this thread.
And the turbine is a nice personal legacy piece.
Congratulations Ewan. It's superb, and my colleagues are very envious!
In terms of the basic package, I’ve tried several strap combinations with the Newmark, including a leather NATO, two-piece leather, regular NATO’s and have concluded that the basic grey RAF strap it comes with suits it the best.
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?

No 300, first time I've been able to get to the depot. What a fine watch, lovely precise detailing, and gorgeous curved acrylic. Straight on the leather which is equally fine. Well done Ewan.

Just a quick post to set you all off on this Sunday.. evaluation mode enabled shot of the crystal distortion...
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.

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

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.
Filling in the gap...#236 reporting in! Greetings from Indiana, USA. Mine's on a NATO Strap Co at the moment, I was having difficulty getting a comfortable fit on the included grey NATO.

Mine arrived yesterday, have put it on a Eichmuller strap from my spares box. Very pleased with the watch, even at full price.
Really pleased with my 6BB
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
Number 142/18 signing in.
On a Steveo Straps distressed black bund.
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:
https://forum.tz-uk.com/showthread.p...Straps-G-Shock!
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.
I love my 6BB and today I was sorting out a few old straps and bracelets. I came across a Zuludiver Anvil bracelet that I’ve had for ages and has actually been on SC a few times without a bite. These are top quality with a selling price of I think £88 before they went down to £28 in the sale.
Out of interest I married the two and they actually fit like they were engineered to! I think it’s escalated the Newmark into a whole other bracket of watch. A serendipitous event I’m
sure you’ll agree.
Sorry 6BB owners but I think I have the best one around ;)
girl names that mean red
That's really good to know! Looks like a great fit.
