                Seul, I'm sure you could find a metal watch band for this.

                I just got one and I fucking love it. They just restocked them after being sold out for 6 months.

                  Urb, that Maratac looks absolutely stunning, I couldn't believe the price when I saw it. No wonder it's moving fast! Perfect on those zulus/natos!

                  @Seul:

                  What d'you think of this'un?..

                  http://www.amazon.co.uk/Seiko-Automatic-SNX115K-Silver-Stainless-Steel/dp/B0012NZPUE/ref=pd_sim_sbs_watches_7

                  I had a sister model of that one for a while, it was a a really nice watch for the money. The bracelet is comfy but it's a hollow link number so it's a bit flimsy feeling. The 5:s are never made in Japan, mainly in Singapore. The movement is a true and tested workhorse, not the most accurate but very reliable. You're looking at about +/- 10-15 seconds a day accuracies, which I think are fairly good - good enough even if you care about that sort of thing. In the sub 100€ range I'd definitely go for that one if it's what you're looking for lookswise.

                  It's a bit tricky if you want a non-diver automatic with a sapphire crystal in the sub 200-300€ range with a good quality bracelet. And there's a reason why "better" bracelets cost what they cost, solid links and precision engineering comes with a price tag.

                  AIAN HA-TO!

                    Sapphire, blue dial, no bullshit, 85 quid. What am I missing… I can live with a shitty bracelet... Made in Singapore?.. Excellent, no objections to that at all!..

                      Well it's a quartz… Nothing wrong with that per se, just not my thing.

                        I'd rather have solar or auto but what the hey… My Weil is quartz and it's incredibly accurate plus the lifetime of the battery is simply mindbaffling... The original one is still in there...  😞

                          Also only 35mm, which is a tad small by modern day standards.  Personally, I prefer them in the 42-44mm range.  Like Jii said, that's a personal preference thing, though.  Otherwise, it looks good to me.

                            Fuck it - I'll just get a new leather bracelet for my Weil (Hirsch strap, 30 €) and decide on a new watch next summer.
