You know The Time Bum digs the NTH Subs series. I liked them in 2016, I liked them in 2017, and I like what I am seeing for 2018 too. On Monday, September 3, at 12:00 PM GMT (8:00 AM EDT) NTH will release the latest variants for sale at the mothershipJanisTrading.com, as well as the following retail partner websites:
USA - WatchGauge.com,
EU - SeriousWatches.com,
UK - PageandCooper.com, and
Singapore - Watch Wonderland.
[Don't forget that both Janis Trading and WatchGauge will be at District Time, Sunday, September 30, 2018, from 11:00 AM - 4:00 PM at 421 7th Street, NW, Washington, DC.]

Now, before you think they are just the same old Subs with snazzy new dials, you should know that NTH has made significant improvements to the bracelet since the previous release based on customer input, including thicker links, slightly shorter links to improve and comfort, repositioning the center links so that those links can pivot at both ends, oval links with convex-curved inner surfaces, and softer edges. In addition, they have produced a new, sturdier clasp with a chamfered top edge, and twice as many micro-adjustment positions.
