Re: Worth the hassle???
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.....

Re: Worth the hassle???
i wonder what happened to leave it in the condition you bought it in??? it must have experienced a big trauma!
watching you fail in your quest for a “one watch” has been great entertainment

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

Re: Worth the hassle???
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!

Re: Worth the hassle???
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

Re: Worth the hassle???
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.
