        That’s crazy, cuz I too am interested in a Pelagos FXD. Seems like an incredibly indestructible watch. And I love nato straps, so… but like you @Cole need to let my budget recover after my last purchase😎

        I have been considering a vintage Tudor sub, but I already have a couple vintage watches, that I just end up babying. And I “need” a good snorkeling watch😅

          Don't get me started with (neo)vintage watches. 😂 Somewhere out there is an Omega Seamaster Peter Blake 2254.50 calling my name. 😁

          And the vintage Tudor Sub with snowflake hands is a thing of pure beauty.

            Swapped out the black alligator OEM strap on my wife’s 11639 WG for this aftermarket strap from Epoch. Seems like pretty good quality. It’s a really dark navy blue, almost black, which looks great on the white gold.

            It has quick-release spring bars, which is kind of nice and definitely saves a little time. Somehow, even with that, I managed to install both sides of the strap upside down the first time. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Kind of weird because the last time I changed it, I got it right.

            Unfortunately, the first straps they sent were too short. This one just barely fits on the largest adjustment. I think there’s been a little bit of a language barrier or misunderstanding when it comes to the sizing, but at least this one works.

              I love G Shock squares. Probably have to pass on this one, hefty price tag…

                @bwscott the non-sapphire cased model is also stunning. The price increase is quite a lot though.

                  @Anesthetist Price increase indeed, $80,000! This is the budget option, I think it’s going for around £800.

                    @bwscott maybe I misunderstood the press release but I believe there’s another MRG in $6000 range

                      You’re right. This is the ‘mid range’ at 6k…!

                        Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals... except the weasel.

                          Nice, very nice @1WayTrip

                          Is that the original rubber strap?

                            @Bridger yep the one that comes with it. Prefer it to the bracelet.

                              Ah, you have a newer model @1WayTrip. Looks different from my rubber strap.

                              I like both the rubber and the bracelet. When I got my first MM300 I wasn't sure about either, but after a little bit of time - I realised I should never have doubted the Seiko designers. I think they're perfect for the watch.
