I'm really liking this watch. it does wear a little big for a 42mm, because of the long straight lugs, but it's good on my wrist. the domed sapphire, with blue AR, always plays with the light. I was worried I would miss the date, but it hasn't been a problem

I put mine on a brown strap, but it's starting to crack. I'll include the original strap, box (which broke when I opened it right now :snoop: ), I doubt that warranty is valid anymore (it's not dated).

Retail is $795, Jomashop is $479. My price is $350 and I'll pay for the shipping :francis:

shout out to watchgecko.com :salute:

they got some nice straps. plus they include a little watch polishing cloth with each order, and 3 spring bars with each strap

I got one of those 'seatbelt' nato's and shyt is buttery smooth :whew:

man, that seatbelt nato too soft. first day really wearing it, looked down and my watch was hanging on by one spring bar :merchant:

luckily they included those extra spring bars. but after some experimenting, I found I could pull the spring bar right out by pulling the strap at an angle. shyt is so soft and malleable that it basically catches the flange on the spring bar. I've heard of people having similar issues with perlon straps. I tried doing the same shyt with 'standard' natos, but they so stiff that it ain't happening

kinda bummed cause shyt is mad soft and comfortable. maybe it will be better on the flange-less Seiko spring bars

So I pulled the trigger and ordered the Casio MDV106 duro for an equivalent of $88. The local online site I ordered from gets supplies from the US. I pray Id ont get scammed and my watch arrives no more than a month from now :lupe:


also what y'all think bout the Casio A168W-1 ?
