    Nice tie, but it's not Black Watch.

    Actually, the green, blue and black are all there and in the right order. The tie is quite dark and did not photograph well because of the lighting in my home. The texture is such that makes it look like a woven tartan (similar to the shadow tartan kilts from SWK, but in color) I don't mean to argue, but the photo really does not show the colors or the weave accurately.

    I'll second that statement... black watch has an ABAC sett where in every OTHER navy section, there's 2 (close together) black lines down the center of the Navy. In alternating sections, there are 2 sets of 2 black lines around the OUTSIDE of the navy section:



    To me, it's a 'bumbee' tartan BASED on black watch.

    Now that is a difference I did not catch! I bet few catch it when I wear it either.
