Fedex Came Thanks Fr.John
I owe Fr. John a HUGE Thanks.

THANK YOU

I've been looking forward to getting this one for a couple of months.

I even purchased the blackleather strap and deployment buckle as an alternative look when I get tired of the bracelet. I haven't gopne NATO yet, however I think Dan P is starting to be an influence.


Now a Couple of PICs.

I have had my eye on one for awhile, but have only worn it for a couple of hours and I really enjoy it.

Good luck Matt, and let us know when you get yours.
