Yeap, The Watch Steward in post is like MN. I’m partial to the “G Series” as that doesn’t need spring bar removal to change out.
Buuuut I think one can’t get away from elastic webbing itself stretching out. Left is ~3 month old, One on the right stretched to ~1.5x it’s original length, had to trim it after ~5 years of use .
edit: added length-of-use

But yeah, I passed on the Brown Weave 1959 Alpinist because of the not-that-improved 6R35 movement. Even though that dial is mesmerizing IRL.
:) as it happens sarb017 has been stored like so for about a week now, lost a minute since I last set against NTP/internet time servers. Been winding once daily and amazed by the huge improvement of losing a minute daily before maintenance.
Wrist times been dominated by SBPK003 in new-watch-honeymoon-phase.

Absolutely love passion fruit note passiflora.
Killed Smash aftershave, kinda pain as I can’t put on too much alcohol based after shave, probably took ~3 month to empty.
Love the smell and the “cooling menthol”, kiddo abhors synthetic coolant. Kids 😘 > 🤭🍑💨.
Holding off as until last day is confirmed, IT being near end of facility teardown.
Retrenchment benefit(?) is like a year of salary, so there’s that.
Just glad that I received news with teammates and rest of company, can’t imagine getting this on my own.
