Yes, it has - it's a really great product.

I know that NATO straps are probably more traditional, but I don't think that non-watchy people view them as being anything other than cheap fabric straps.

The Rubber B is sculpted to the body of the watch, so it looks as though it belongs there. I don't wear the Rolex every day, so can't really talk about constant wear, but I'd certainly trust it to last.

Whether it's worth the money. Absolutely it does.

Many thanks.

Another photo of the ProTrek, which is pretty much my daily watch these days.

And my other, 14 year old G-Shock.

Which I've since learned is the first solar Wavecepter G-Shock, so it's a bit of a collector's piece (possibly).

And another of the speedy

Loving that protrek. Wish it had normal lugs like the 2000 so it could take a nato
I miss all the great things that may never be.

Some good looking watches there! I particularly like the 5513. I have often thought of trying to get a Matt dial version, but have concluded that I would need a degree in Vintage Submariner dials, hands, bezel inserts, lume pips and serial numbers to make sure the price was ok.
