    Excellent choice Matt! One of my favorites.

    Mine says hi!

    Hate to report that the watch, which I still love, is now losing over 30 seconds a day. Back to AD for regulation.

    Congratulations!

    I ordered the same watch from Jomashop. Hopefully mine doesn't have this issue....

    Well, just as I threatened to take it back and have some stranger dig into its guts, it must have heard and started flying right again. Back to 1-2 seconds a day. I have absolutely no explanation.

    Update: It still is within 1-2 seconds a day. During a month, it gains that much for a few days, then stabilizes, then loses the same amount for a few days. At any one time, the most it is off is 10 seconds. Resting it face up at night doesn't seem to affect the accuracy and resting it face down may make it speed up a bit. What a great watch!

    mine says Hi, couldn't be happier with mine. proven workhorse movement, great price and classic design. What's not to like? It says "I like watches but I am not here to impress others and I hate being pretentious."

    Got mine a couple of weeks ago. Wore it initially on the OEM bracelet:


    But eventually put it on a Zulu which, I think, is better suited for a military-inspired watch.

    word of caution to those who is thinking of Khaki. The case will be easily dinged and scratched.

    You're referring to the polished bezel area I suppose? Yup, scratches do show easily on it. I don't really mind since I don't wear it as a dress watch. The rest of the case is pretty resilient though.
