I would prolly change the band if possible, but I really like the watch.

I love my Seiko's and Citizen's. I think dollar for dollar, you cannot get a better watch.

Nice watch by the way...

i agree. However the aformentioned watch is not one of those. I rarely come across an invict that is light in weight and Doesnt have a sturdy feel to it. But this is one of them. And it looks like its going to fall apart. And weighs about 2 ounces lol

Here is the watch I just picked up. It has an auto dive mode that turns on when I get below 1 meter. It records the depth, temp and dive time. Picked it up used

Someday I would like to have one of these. I am in love with Hamiltons, they make some classy watches:



The white face one is on sale for $322 on Overstock plus I have a 10% off coupon, seems like a great deal:

Hamilton does make some nice watches and they aren't expensive either. They tend to be discounted heavily. Another Swatch Group brand.

[emopunker2004]

What size do you think is best for a case? Around 40-42?
Do they count the crown when they talk about that measurement?

[emopunker2004]

Depends. If you look on Amazon, if its sold by amazon alot of the waches they show a face next to ruler. They also show some of them on a fake wrist for size comparison. Yeh I like 40-42mm range. It's manly but not huge.

I want this

38-42 is the most classic size for chrono or military. Any larger and it becomes more trendy in styling. The crown is not measured in case diameter.

42mm is a good size for smaller wrists, not too small, but not overwhelming
