I was planning on using it as a 'beater' (don't actually like that term!) but when it arrived back it was far too nice and I'd hate for the same to happen again! ](*,)

GShock &/or Seiko 5 for that purpose then.....

i wonder what happened to leave it in the condition you bought it in??? it must have experienced a big trauma!

I think you should take the plastic off the front, however, à la SOTC. :D

"Damaged on a field visit at work" iirc

Box and papers are immaculate, unsurprisingly as is the cleaning cloth :D

Switched onto a CW black leather NATO.....thinking the tan CW leather NATO will be a winner though - will post later for a comparison

I think it looks pretty good on the tan NATO, but can't decide if it's better than the original aviator style strap - will probably just swap between the two....the joy of quick release spring bars!

Personally I prefer the black but the other two are both good looking alternatives - swapping as the mood takes you sounds like a great idea :thumbup:

Apologies for boring you lot over the last few days....

In case you hadn't guessed, I'm a little bit smitten with this one!

Not much more to be said, so will leave you in peace now.

Over and out :)
