      About the same price as the Pinion Atom which is different but also nice.

        Exactly…

        When I think of a "watch", this is what is pictured in my mind..... Something along the lines of the Pinion Atom, CW C65, or Hamilton Khaki Field.

          Chris - what mods did you have made?

          This was before the Vortex Tactical existed, so I had Jay take the face and hands from the Pro and put it in the regular model and vice versa.  Then he added a date window to both of them.

              Dive watches are big but sometimes they wear more comfortably than the numbers would suggest.

              What's the consensus on Stowa?

              (I'm on a German dive watches bender. It's funny how there's a certain design style, I'll call it neo-Bauhaus for lack of a better term, that's over represented in German makers. Dievas, Damasko, etc, all do that.  😃 )

                  Yeah, it does look enormous, doesn't it?  It's not a small watch- 44mm, I think- but that's a weird angle or something. It doesn't look anywhere close to that huge in reality.

                  I'd take another picture, but it's in storage…

                      Anyone have recommendations for a good aftermarket metal bracelet?

                      Based on EVERY review I read/watch, the bracelets on all of the entry-level Seikos are notoriously shitty.

                      I got a really great one from yobokies (Seikoboy backwards) and I've never looked back. I can't remember, but he might be on ebay.

                        I think this plays off suckers who think that they can buy something super tough and it makes them a badass.

                            We had one idiot years ago that kept saying that IH will stop a bullet.

                            It will not.

                            In fact, the FBI tests for ammunition is to measure how far a bullet will travel AFTER it goes through four layers of denim.

                                  They’re testing the bullet, not the denim. It’s a standardized weight of denim

                                      Follow up on my search for the perfect dive (vacation) watch. I just agreed to buy a pre-owned Damasko Dsub1. Will post pics when it arrives.

                                          New Bronze watch plays well with IH black wabash. Maybe IH should make NATO straps…

                                            There was an Iron Heart x Good Art NATO watch strap in the works at one point, though it was leather rather than nylon. I'm not sure what happened to it, though. @Giles could probably tell you more.
