Ah ha...
must be an optical thing.
Not seen that one before.. Quite good.
I've got more straps in. Last of the stragglers.

Yes, that black and orange one will work well with the Omega homage.Quote:

Did you manage to get the strap off Grant? As I thought there are nice big gaps to get your tool in.Quote:

Strap came off easily but the new one was a bugger, not helped by me putting the buckle on wrong way. Lol

Just bought one of these in silver from a UK seller on the bay, but it is displayed as having a nato strap.Quote:

Black and Orange Nato Strap

Worth the effort, matches the watch nicely & I would imagine is more comfortable than the rubber one.Quote:

put this on again.. a better view of strap too
I’ve kept on the Aragon that arrived yesterday. It came with 4 straps. The original is a black rubber one with red stitching but it came on an aftermarket stainless steel one which fitted straight out of the box (after anti bacing of course). Didn’t like the look of it on the eBay listing but in reality it’s ok, looks a bit like chain mail.

yeah it looks good.. does it nick hair tho?
No, it's surprisingly comfortable for a bracelet, slept in it & it was fine. Yet another watch with a Seiko movement, NH36 in this case.Quote:

Starting to get a decent collection.. [emoji23]

Nice one Grant [emoji846]
I won a Pepsi GMT today.
Was looking at the Pepsi type. I'm pretty happy with what I've got for now. This strap fitting, even if it's only just is a big boost. Quite a decent build all round
Would an extra link or two help it fit better Grant? Can stick the spare two I've got in the post.Quote:

Will let u know. Just put it back on there to recharge it a bit and my wrist is a bit lower. I'm inclined to swell up with fluid on occasion [emoji23]
Another Parnis

That has an almost digital image feel about it. Like a digi clock.. Nice handsQuote:

oops.. lol can always sell one
Well I've got a few to move on once I'm content to go down the post office.
Well I've sat myself down and said 'last one for a while!' (no, that would be the pepsi gmt arriving tomorrow.. but, after that..)

Don't remember that one. Good, bold colour. Need to check Aaregon out.Quote:

You'd be impressed if you saw one in the flesh Grant, they're streets ahead of Parnis in terms of quality & up there with the best Seiko has to offer. Proper chunky, weighty dive watches that are genuinely water resistant (unlike the Parnis variety that you couldn't even wear in the shower).Quote:

This just arrived

A question... How do I set day and date?
Ah - I just figured it out, you have press the buttons real hard.
Buttons either side of the crown?Quote:

Doesn't move at all? It only makes one rotation in 24 hours of course, can you set it? To be honest, I don't think I've ever made use of one (my Rolex Explorer II has one).
no, not when watch runs. it also doesnt set in way its supposed to; ie in reverse direction to hand set. it twitches only.. you can set it by fiddling for half an hr til you catch the tiny spot it turns on but thats not what its supposed to doQuote:

no it was stardate 19,36..:D
yes its a bit of a tag clone i think but they did the dial as a tachymeter i think
Got a garbled reply from the Chinese. [emoji23]
Obviously they used Google translate both ways so it seems I'm supposed to strangle it for 36hrs. [emoji23]
This was my late father in law's daily, just fitted a James Bond nato strap to make it more contemporary.
