Here’s my Victorinox Dive Master 500m in gun metal. Built like a tank, heavy, 43mm

While Seiko's push upmarket and lack of QC has me looking at fewer Seiko's they do make a nice dial. Looking to find a not overpriced SRPF41 as I love that dial.

Glad it finally arrived. I'm discovering that it's difficult to find a strap combination that does not look good on this watch. Wear it in good health.

I need to dig out some of my Erika's Originals because I really like the way it looks on those in the pictures I've seen but I've really been digging it on the Isofrane it came on and I find Isofranes to be sort of hit or miss sometimes as they can be rather stiff out of the box and are sometimes too thick/chunk even for a relatively large dive watch. This one seems pretty good though.

I'm on the same page. I normally don't wear that Isofrane style strap because of how thick and bulky it is, but it works with this watch really well and is really soft, pliable and comfortable. That said, I've had it on an EO strap 75% of the time so far.

It's funny, I like the Military so much that I ordered a Doxa sub 300 professional to keep it company.

Really like the uncluttered dial bezel combo here. A few of the recent pics have that hash mark overkill that looks overpowering for me. I love this understated look.

I agree, I was between this and the 12hr. bezel and stuck with the dive version for this reason, uncluttered and simple. It’s a good piece all around.
