Which Watch are you wearing today?

Thank you sir. It definitely means more to me than other piece in my collection.

On a separate note, finding a decent quality NATO with gold hardware, in the correct size, is easier said than done. This one came from Crown and Buckle.

Not a real fan of gold watches but that color combo may have just cured me of that dislike! Something about the olive drab really makes that watch Pop.... Along with the style of that watch.

Now it looks far more your style.

Ive had it for approximately a year and a half.. I was skeptical as i am normally a "You get what ya pay for" type of guy

The watch has exceeded my expectations literally tenfold.

That said, for me it came into its own when i took it off the supplied Steeldive bracelet. Opinions vary on this, but i thought it was a hunk of junk with sharp edges and was an arm hair puller. I just figured - these watches go anywhere from $100 to $200 depending on where purchased and/or what type of discount codes can be used - etc. , naturally its not going to have a top flight bracelet.

I have an assortment of cheap NATO's i keep it on and its been great so far --- as far as durability , -- i didnt realize i had it on one day when i pounded in about 40 t-posts and it survived (I killed a Seiko 5 series doing this years ago )

That said, i think Steeldive is a pleasant surprise in the cheap watch arena. I honestly think its a nice watch regardless of the price. I could not say the same when i purchased a Pagani Doxa copy not too long ago. It was disappointing enough that i returned it within a couple of days

I've heard excellent reviews of those Steeldive watches. Apparently they are really great value for the price.

I would never have considered green if I was looking for a strap for that watch, but I'll be danged it that doesn't look great! I'm going to consult with @coolhandluke before pairing straps to watches moving forward. He's got an eye for that stuff.

Green and burgundy seem to be the most flattering colors for gold cased watches IMO. Purple too, if it's a woman's watch.

May be time to do some cleaning on this one!!!

I want to find a military style Seiko automatic with luminous hands and digits and a watchband big enough to fit my wrist comfortable.
