      That'll look great.  What size strap does it take?  Is that tritium lume on the dial and hands?

        Not really sure. I've seen it stated that the original lume material was Promethium 147.

        Guess I forget to mention that mine is a 6306, basically the same as the 6309 except that this was a JDM only and is somewhat rarer, has a kanji date wheel and also hacks.

          Kanji date wheel is excellent.

            Yeah, I like the kanji wheel. Lug width is 22mm, so lots of strap options. There's also quite a few after market bracelets for this one too.

              That Kanji date wheel was the first thing I saw in the photo. It's damn cool!

              Nice pick-up Chiba.

                Currently weighing up different NATO options for my sub.

                Black + grey striped ("James Bond"):

                Maroon + white ("Harvard"):

                Black + Sand:

                Regular 'ol plain black:

                Black with red + white stripe ("Hotrod"):

                Black + grey stripe ("monochrome"):

                Figured this one was fun as a novelty even though the colourway doesn't really match.  "Selvedge":

                Grey with black + white stripe:

                Bonus pics for @Sugar Mountain:

                  I like the black nato and the leather. I don't care for striped natos, but the black and beige looks good.

                  I've got this one incoming.

                  http://item.rakuten.co.jp/taikonaut/nato22008b/

                  Also quite liked this one, but it's a lot of dough for a strap.

                    @Qinhan I like the black and grey Bond strap and the Black and Tan the best. Those two options really chime with the colours of the watch. The B&S leather one is also lovely!

                        Bond, Harvard, or the distressed leather IMO.

                                          thanks guys, for the price its accuracy is quite impressive that it only lost 15 sec in 11 days.

                                            For those of us with a rotation of watches.  How often do you guys have to wear a piece before you consider selling?    Been mulling over the idea of selling my Aqua Terra 8500.  Only gets 1 day or so a week of wear.  Thoughts?
