 Not one of the divers, unfortunately, no room in the watch budget. Still on the list though!

Just received my Orsa Military quartz today. Stainless w/ a nice grey face and matching military style strap. Picked it up on the 'Bay, great price. For anyone wondering, he has all the colors on auction right now, this might be a good time for any fence sitters.

I like the brushed finish, very utilitarian. Very clear dial, easy to read. I'm very impressed w/ the lume so far. I'll be able to see it better tonite to judge, but I'm sure it's up to their high standards. Very easy to read in the dark. Luminous hands, including the ball on the second hand, plus the triangles at the hours.

I'm still on the fence as to the strap. Great style, and the color looks great w/ the face. I've never had one of these NATO style straps, but I'm sure I'll get used to it quickly.

I'll get some pics tomorrow or Sunday and get them up. All in all, I'm very pleased w/ my first quartz purchase in 15 years, and impressed (not suprisingly) w/ my first Orsa.appleABgWHT.gif
