Something about the NFW Vector was calling to me.  So after bugging George Fox for what seemed like an eternity trying to pick the model I wanted, I finally landed on the simple black on black. 

I am very impressed thus far!

Tossed it on a rubber tire tread strap after an hour or so as the OEM strap (although thick and supple), is on the shorter side, so my think wrist is forcing me to use the second eyelet (I like a strap to overlap a bit).

Very nice watch, and one you don't see everyday.  Just curious, the website says it uses bolts in place of springbars.  Does that complicate strap changes or limit the kind of straps you can use if their holes are too narrow?

It makes it easier AND more complicated :)

It's easier because it's just a simple unscrewing to remove the bar.  The bar is not as think as the springbar on an Orange Monster (I say this because I DID have issues w/ straps on my OM), so it didn't pose any problems sliding it into a rubber strap at all.

I say it is harder, because if you are a PRO at the springbar change, it will slow you down.  PLUS, whenever you are dealing with small screws, it can be a pain to keep track of them.
