It’s a truly beautiful watch – thanks for the opportunity to win it!
I really like the MKII watch, especial the blue lume is fantastic!
In addition to that the watch is not to high and not to big to overshaddow a small wrist.
Wow! The watch is spectacular and as always great review.
Whether or not you like “homage” watches, anyone can appreciate a finely crafted precision machine. That’s why I love watches!
That is one great looking watch!
Just bought a real Bond NATO, it will match perfectly 🙂
What classic looking homage!
Oooh a chance to win MKII watch, niiiccccce *said in a south park voice*.
Great review and thanks for the opportunity to win one!
Great looking watch!
You neglected to link the full terms and conditions!
Pick me!
Nice watch. Would like to see it side by side with a Steinhart for comparison.
My favourite blog, hands down. Would love one of these watches!
Classy looking watch and a great contest!
Nice review and nice watch!
Would love to win this watch.
That’s a beauty!
A Really nice watch. Liking this site alot, good information about brands ive never heard of 🙂

WOW! would love to win that one
Great looking watch! Love the site as well, great to see it growing!
Congratulations to MKII for producing another incredible watch and to Worn&Wound for being so generous, again!
Warmest regards to all fellow watch lovers,

I would love to own this MKII.
Best sub homage out!
Looks amazing! I hope I win it!
Thanks for the giveaway! That is one awesome watch!
As always a very cool video of a very cool watch. Keep finding these gems and bringing them to our attention.
Need it!
Love this homage
I love the craftsmanship that is displayed on this watch. I think MKII has done a great job of balancing the proportions on this piece.
Homage or not – I don’t care. This watch is great! 🙂
Thank You for this giveaway.
A truly beautiful timepiece.
I had never heard of MKII up until I met a guy a year ago who said he stopped being interested in other watches, now he always wore his MKII on a mesh and never deviated. He cancelled his accounts at WUS and other places, but he did convince me to start reading Worn and Wound, because that was one thing he still did. Thanks for a great blog and “hi to Micke”, since you probably read this, this might be my chance of selling my current collection without ever looking back.
Super quality version of this classic watch model. Would love to own one and wear it with pride.
Wow this is great !! I would love to win it
What a beauty! Especially on the nato; wow!
Giving away an incredible craft timepiece!? Yes and Please.
thrilled for the chance to win, thanks w&w!
Thanks for the review and the chance to win!
I’m in…thanks!

Nice timepiece, keep up the great work.
A great watch
A great gift
Thank You
…Always look at the bright side of life…
Beautiful watch!
Awesome watch. This would be great to win.
Great looking sub watch.
Hope this awesome watch can be my first Submariner homage!
Another masterpiece homage by MKII. Great build and quality!! Would like to own one 🙂
Great homage, I would love to win one.
Best Sub homage I’ve seen for a while…
Nice timepiece – may the luck be with me! 😉
MKII for the win! <3
Great watch. You guys consistently hit the mark with the watches you select to review.
Wow, another great review. Its amazing how many awesome giveaways you guys do! keep up the good work!
I love the obtainable watches that are always reviewed here. The fact that some are given away is just a plus. Any chance of bringing a lady in from time to time for women’s watches?
I have been wanting to add a new sub to the collection, hopefully this is my lucky day.
I was going to order this watch, but I’ll just take it here instead :0)
Classy looking watch. Loving the reviews and videos you put out!
Wow. What a beauty. Keep up the great reviews,and I love my Nisolo chukka boots by the way =).
Cheers!
Awesome site guys, have been following for a while! Great watch too 😉
I hope I will be lucky this time! Great website!
Amazing giveaway, this is definitely one of the best sub homages I’ve seen (the lack of a crown guard really makes it stand out). By the way, you forgot to add the link to the terms and conditions.
Great Site!
Cheers to you guys for running such a great website and Instagram feed. I’ve already learned so much from the site and have made a few purchases based on your reviews and articles! Keep up the fantastic work!
A magnificent piece! In this day and age, I am much more drawn to the classic style diver watches than I am to the monstrous and overly adorned watches that seem to be prevalent in today’s fashion. Kudos to MKII in paying homage to one of the most classic timepieces of all time, while still retaining their own unique stamp and staying true to their product line.
The name alone makes this watch desirable. Always wanted to go to Nassau!
Very classy W&W, and the watch is nice too!
I’d love to get my hands on the Nassau, not only because it is a great homage watch, but also because there’s a wait list for it.
The proportions of this watch are perfect.
Excellent looking watch! Would love to own one.
I hope I will be lucky this time! Great website!
Nice review. How does it compare to the Raven that you reviewed a few months back?
Very cool
Excellent execution and beautiful.
Awesome watch… true classic styling combined with excellent quality… surprisingly hard to find these days.
Thanks for the review and the giveaway!
Nice looking homage. It’s really great to get a chance to own a watch that’s actually assembled in North America instead of in Europe or China. Thanks!!!
Here’s hoping!
Really nice and I would be a fool not to leave a comment 😉
-Jesper
Ended up finding w&w after a search for a review of the Seiko 803. The reviews and photography are excellent. Thanks for offering up the giveaway and keep up the good work!
Yes please!
Count me in! These guys are right nearby.
Many thanks for this competition. Mk II have always been on the list to get!
Great looking homage!
Nice watch. Hope I will join my collection, I have no american watch 🙂
Awesome homage. Who wants a mustache ride?
I vant one! I vant one!
That is a beautiful watch, and will look especially nice on my wrist
pick me pick me pick me
i want it 🙂
Shiny, silver and like a submariner
Hope I can win it, a real beauty of a watch! 🙂
I love w&w reviews and the watch giveaways are just a great bonus. This watch is a real beauty and it’s nice that it’s now manufactured here in the USA.
Great looking watch!
What an awesome watch!! Its a shame they stopped selling parts for people to mod their watches. Exciting giveaway, thanks for the opportunity.
well made dive watch from a striving entrepreneurship
bravo, Bill!
Is this competition open to non US residents? Good looking watch and would look awesome on a NATO. Love the site too. Opened my eyes to a lot of smaller brands making nice pieces at competitive prices. Takes the snobbery out of watch collecting/lusting/general geekery. Bravo.
What a beauty……it would be an honor to own one!!!
Beautiful watch–it would make a great first “real” watch for me. Thanks!
Nice watch, and an excellent review.
MKII does some really great work. The Nassau is a prime example.
Beautiful tool watch, would look great on my wrist =).
W&W keep up the great reviews!
let’s do this. preorders seem like they won’t reopen for another few months, so this is a much better alternative to obtain one! 🙂
Thanks for another great review, and another great giveaway!
Awesome giveaway!
What a beaut. Give me that.
Gorgeous watch!
Great looking watch would look even better on My Wrist!
It reminds me of the latest Tudor models, I love it!
Stunning watch, thanks for the review and thanks to MKII
🙂
My Steinhart OVM is lonely.
Great looking watch.
Your watches are superb and I’m certain this MKII would look good going through flight school, and subsequently flying Army Medevac Missions with me!
Gorgeous watch! Excellent website! It’s nice to see other enthusiasts who share my passion for wristwatches. Thanks!!
Um, yes, please. Great watch to win.
Great reviews here at Worn & Wound. Made me purchase my first Christopher Ward watch. Always coming back to see what’s new.
Very nice watch! I’m choosing now between them, steinhart and chward
This watch looks great, but it’d look even better on my left wrist!
I know this might seem lame to do this in this article, but I just wanted to let you guys know that I love the site and I really do think it’s the best watch site available (not even just in the terms of “actually affordable” watch sites).
Thanks for the review, the Nassau is a beautiful watch.
Fantastic watch. Thanks for the accompanying giveaway.
That’s a great watch, and I’d really love to have it!
Very nice watch!
Great looking watch – many thanks to MKII and W&W for the great giveaway!
Great watch. Like to get your thoughts on how it compares to the Tudor Black Bay. Great contest and hope to win!
Sick watch! Would be a great add to the collection.
With this watch I will always be on time for dinner, and it looks amazing!
Great looking watch and I’d love to win. Thanks worn&wound and MKII for the opportunity to own such a great timepiece.
The last competition I won was a Michael Jackson dance contest. I was 5. Lovely watch!
Thanks for the contest. Good luck to everyone.
Read the review and it looks like this is a nice one.
What a beautiful watch!
Great looking watch
Great giveaway from an great watch site!
Great review, guys.
Thank you for the opportunity of winning this! It would be a great addition to anyone’s watch collection, especially mine. My MKii Vantage is a fabulous watch; it is one of my favorites.
Nice watch to giveaway.
Very nice homage. With my new found obsession for mechanical (real) watches, this would be a totally sweet start to my collection. Thanks for the opportunity!
I’ve always loved MKII. This is no exception. Great watch and great review!
You did an excelent review on a great watch, hope I win it, thanks
awesome! thank you for another great giveaway
: ). Thanks for the opportunity. Nice watch
solid looking watch. hope i win.
Still need to add a diver to my collection. Make it happen!
Me please!
Great review, w&w has been the cause of my two lastest purchases.
Thanks for the review!
Another great review and giveaway. Thanks w&w!
Great Homage. Hope to get my hands on one of these eventually.
Just what I need, a Submariner homage. Don’t have one yet and this will do nicely. Thanks for the opportunity.
A Truely Honest Reveiws Site.
Well done, keep up the good job!
Worn, Wound & Win!

I love seeing American made Subs in production!
Lovely!
Beautiful watch! Great site! Hope to be the lucky guy..!
I’m in!
this would be a nice addition to my watch family!
Awesome looking timepiece! Never had a diver before and to bad this brand isn’t that known where i live.
Pick a frenchy !
Pick me!
Not at the age to be earning enough to afford these suave little ones yet. Love wornandwound!
Amazing giveaway, I have a feeling this one might be the most popular one in a while! That MKII Nassau is awesome!
Great looking watch!
Just wanted to say how much I appreciate your site. I think you guys write the highest quality reviews of any watch site, and it’s nice that you focus on good values (plenty of sites focus on very expensive watches). Your site led me to discover the Christopher Ward C60 Trident GMT, which I received a few days ago and I am loving. How about you add a classic diver to my collection? 🙂
Beautiful watch!
Excellent watch and thanks W&W for such an awesome opportunity.
Very cool watch. Nice to see another high quality Sub homage hit the market. Hope I win!!
That’s the watch I would really love to own.
Nice
dear wornandwound,
please help my lonely wrist find a new friend. if you could only see the joy and excitement my wrist expressed upon seeing this fine time piece. it would bring tears to your eyes… and wrist. the pride that would be exuded every day wearing this distinguished watch is beyond description. please choose me as the first owner of this MKII NASSAU!
your loyal follower,
rv
Loved the review of this watch, especially finding out that they are based here in Pennsylvania. Thanks for the opportunity.
Fantastic looking homage watch. I’ve been looking for a good quality diver styled watch for some time now, this looks perfect.
Classic styling. What’s not to love. Hope I win.
Thanks for the giveaway, guys! I love Worn & Wound–you guys do my favorite timepiece reviews, hitting all the right points plus beautiful photography.
I would love to own an MKII… my only diver watch is an Orient Mako (yellow dial, which I generally wear in the summer on a nato band) and I have nothing bad to say about it, but there is just something about the classic diver watch on a steel bracelet that speaks “dry martini and black tie” to me.
Cheers!
Nice to see MKII making this watch their own by implementing such a high level of build and finishing quality, without all the overhead of the middlemen
My wrist feels naked without this watch!
Whenever, Whatever watches!
Look no farther Worn & Wound.
Beautiful watch. Wanted one of these for awhile now!
Great watch and great review, many thanks! Your review has really made me consider this watch as you speak so highly of the build quality of this watch, much more than any other watches you have reviewed! Keep up the good work!
Definitely a worthy homage watch. I have to admit, I wouldn’t have even thought of the difference between homage/replica/counterfeit without reading your other article a few days ago.
Best of luck to everyone!
Thanks for the chance at winning this watch!
Mk2 is just too damn sexyyyy
I like that lume.
maybe luck will finally be on my side… amazing watch
Stunning. Want. Please!
Another quality MKII watch!
They do the Homage thing rather well here. It’s not a COMPLETE rip off, but you can tell where their inspiration came from.
Keep up the good work!
I would be really excited to win this watch. It would make a lovely addition to my collection.
this is an amazing homage to the vintage Submariner. I totally want one!
Awesome watch, who ever ends up with it, is very lucky.
Great giveaway!
The finishing on MKII watches is impressive, great looking watch.
I want that.
Leave it to Bill to take sub homages to a whole other level. Truly perfect.
Thanks for the giveaway, love you guys and what you do!
Thanks for the opportunity to win this beautiful watch. Good luck to all! Keep up the good work W&W.
Great looking time keeper
i want
Great looking piece. Bill certainly has an attention to detail.
A well done submariner homage. I like it!
That is a great watch- thanks for the chance to win something that well regarded- It’d be perfect on my wrist…
Woah. That’s quite the list of commenters! I’ll add my two cents in! That one looks quite good on the NATO you posted on Instagram!
Love the retro-flirt with the red bezel-triangle.
Would love to see a few of these make it to Norway so I can see and feel the much praised build quality in the flesh 🙂
Great blog and exciting give away! I’ve heard good things about the MKIIs 🙂
As a huge James Bond fan, I love this beautiful homage to the early Submariner!
Thanks to your great review I now own an AARK Watch! Keep it up!!
Great looking watch. Thanks for the chance!
This is easily one of the best Sub homage ever made. I love the Nassau!
Beautiful watch! Love this site; I’m hooked!
There are few watches that I want more than this one! Thanks so much for all the reviews! I don’t buy watches without seeing if you reviewed it or not!
Thanks for the opportunity!
Winning this would make my sons graduation. Beautiful watch!
Not a single piece of me to even consider buying the Nassau before, out of nowhere, the writer just stroke a piece of write ups and totally changed my perception towards the Nassau. Thumbs up and kudos to the ‘Mr Writer’!Great Photos too!
I am really digging this watch. I rather invest is MKII over a Tudor now.
First I was “meh” then it become “whoa i want one!” So won’t you be nice and pick me?
great watch! and thank you for your website I love it
Thoroughly enjoy your website an your reviews as well as other insights! This is a beautiful watch that does the classic design just right! Thanks for the awesome reviews you’ve done thus far!
Great review, the Nassau is a beauty!
This is the tastiest giveaway you’ve ever had
Hope its me!
This would complete the James Bond from Dr. No look I’ve been working on.
Very nice watch. I liked the guilded one too, but this one is already a classic.
I’ll represent this proudly all over nyc!
oh man, i really NEED one of these.
always checking back your website for the awesome watches you feature, especially those value for money. learn alot from it.
But still, never been able to afford one.
hope will be the owner of one of these great mechanic time pieces soon.
Thank you for all the great reviews. Great to have a place where it’s not only about the expensive brands that everybody knows.
That’s a really great looking homage, I would love to have one of my own.
Best giveaway ever! Excellent watches coming from MKII
Such a nice watch for a giveaway. Would love to add it to the collection.
Very cool that MKII is offering this for a giveaway!!
Love the reivews and the site as a whole – keep up the good work!
Love your site. Thanks for the chance to win this great watch.
need one.
would love to win this watch, keep up the great site!
Great looking watch!
Bill Yao makes great watches. It would be an honor to wear one of his creations.
Loved the review on this piece, looking forward to the next review!
I’d love to add it to my humble collection. Also, love the site.
I agree – I have been kicking myself for missing the opportunity to purchase one of these watches before. The Nassau sounds amazing, and it would be a privilege to wear. Thank you for the opportunity to do so.
That watch is sweet. I have been looking for a kingston for a long time…
-Joe
If there was ever a giveaway that I wanted to win, it would be this one!
This would be an awesome watch to win! Thanks for the opp!
Great looking watch!
Great review, and a watch that is an instant classic!
Great review, great looking watch!
Kudos to Bill Yao (owner of MKII) for trying lots of new things here. The new business model took a lot of guts and Bill took a lot of flak from people due to uncertainty. In the end, he figured out a cool new business model and we have access to what some people argue is a homage (let’s not get into that today) but is really a masterful timepiece. If you haven’t had the chance to see one (or it’s Kingston LE cousin), beg borrow or steal some time with one.
MKII’s attention to detail would make the folks at Rolex cry. It’s like the Ferrari 365 that was over-restored far beyond the quality that the workers at Maranello ever imagined. It may lose points at Pebble Beach, but it is an absolute stunner.
If you don’t win this watch, buy one…
Extremely handsome watch which, I assure you, would be going to an excellent home. (fingers crossed!)
In it to win it. ::drool::
Looks like a really nice watch. Thank you for the review and give away! Enjoying your site!
I love it. Gorgeous finishing, perfect proportions, understated… Bill Yao is the man.
Oh, how I would love to have this 🙂
yes please
Nice watch, great website!
Haha, I called it in the original thread! I’ll take two please!
What a great looking timepiece, would be a wonderful watch to add to my collection.
Keep up the great reviews guys.
Really awesome homage! If I don’t have luck to win it, I’m definitely going to buy it sometime.
Sweet…count me in!
Great watch and giveaway.
Stunning watch. I wish they were still available for sale. Will have to wait for a preowned one to come on the market.
Cheerful contest entry.
Very nice! I decided I had to have one of these right around the time the put ordering on hold. Vexing! 🙂
I thought the Kingston was a beautiful watch, but I like the look of this one even better!
Well done, Bill Yao, and thanks for the opportunity, the chance to win this watch!
Beautiful watch 🙂
Thanks for the opportunity to win a Nassau.
Love the site, but spending way too much time here looking for a new watch! Here’s to hoping I win and the decision is made for me, would love the mkII. Thanks!
I always like stopping here at the end of the day to see what’s hot. Thanks for the opportunity and generosity.
Awesome WORN&WOUND! Thank for giveaway such a well crafted watch, love the matte black dial & red triangle on top. It is all about “details”.
Today is my birthday, just saying!
Great review as always W&W!
Awesome review! Very nice watch!!!
Great watch, pity about the price…but if I win it them I guess the “price” would be perfect hehe
Very nice review! Now I want a Nassau! (and it’s sold out!)
Great review. Awesome watch.
I have for a long time seen the great work of Bill, and it would be wonderfull to have on of his watches on my wrist!
Looks great, these are almost impossible to find.
I have been a fan of Bill Yao’s work for a long time. It’s a shame I was never able to get a modded seiko diver from him before he started manufacturing his own independent pieces. Regardless I love the opportunity to own such a fine time piece. Bill Yao’s work is truly second to none, and something I hope to aspire to one day when I start my own watch company. Bill is truly an inspiration.
Worn and Wound, you always and continue to have wonderful watch reviews. You are my first stop for up and coming news in the watch world. I really appreciate all you guys do! Thanks for such a great review once again and keep up the good work!
Love the Mk II watches, love the sub – this homage watch rocks!
Please send this baby to Sweden 🙂 (me!)
Great review as usual. Beautiful watch to go along with my MKII LRRP!
Must have this watch but can’t afford it. It has more character than the sub in my opinion.
It’s a very beautiful watch, thanks to Bill for a fantastic work!
This would save me from buying a new watch.
THINK OF THE CHILDREN
Beautiful watch. Thanks to Worn and Wound and to Bill for provding the opportunity to us to maybe win one!
Fantastic watch and review. Thanks!
thanks for the giveaway!
Great looking watch; solid design.
Beautiful watch!
This would be great to wear!
Thanks for the review!
The watch looks great! Hope I win!
ps: It would be a nice tweak to the site to have the comment dialogue box at the top rather than the bottom. That way you can still see the page content when commenting! Love the site, keep the good stuff coming!
Definitely one of the best sub homage ever
One word: GRAIL!
Love the classic sub homage look.
Awesome watch! 🙂
This is truly a beautiful watch. For them to
