Really like the dial texture on that one.

O_o USSR watch on a NATO strap? My how far we've come along in geopolitics! Totally agree with how awesome that texture looks!

[Rocco]

Thanks! Texture is only really visible up close and in good light. A steal for $30 shipped.

Yeah its almost like linen.

Yeah its almost like linen.

I was going to say it reminded me of the Seiko linen dial. Nice looking

[Rocco]

Yea the dial was a nice surprise when I opened up the package; it didn't show up too well in the eBay listing.

Trying this one out on the strap I picked up for the Alpinist.

As an aside, I really like the @clockworksynergy quick release straps. If you have a number of watches with the same lug width, it makes changing things up tool free and easy. I just ordered a third one in suede and am seriously considering some from the codura line.

Fantastic combo!

I like it! How do you like that dial? Its one i have wanted to see in person. I usually like applied indices but that wave texture is attractive.

Nice! Makes me want a Coke. As for my dial, it's pretty neat, but smaller scale and not as obvious or as raised as the real thing. It does create a very nice, subtle effect. Most of the time though, the dial has more of a herringbone effect.



Here you can see most of the waves. Bonus: made one final revision to the pirate panda logo since the picture above (smaller and turned left hand into a hook).



I do wish the lume was applied a bit thicker. If lume filled applied black indices of the same size/shape were used, it would be perfect.

Needed a new running watch after 7-8 years of running with a much older Garmin. I can't believe how the technology has changed over the years. This watch is much lighter and thinner than my other watch.
