I thought I’d throw this out there for anyone considering the Turquoise AT. Here are some pics of it on a rubber strap (Hirsch Accent) and its OEM bracelet so that you can get an idea of how it looks in either configuration. On the wrist, it’s a lot more subtle than turquoise should be. I think it’s the well-done shading (which seems to appear/disappear in certain lighting conditions) along the outside of the dial. The shading and PVD hands/indices make it a nice match for a black strap…

I had a couple of Aqua Terras that weren’t getting as much use as they should have. They’re now gone, and this one took their place. I just got it, and holy crap – this thing looks amazing. I couldn’t wait to get it on my wrist, so I slapped this Hirsc…

How is this possible? It’s the middle of April and @Russ1965 already has over 2000 replies this month. Do you do special thumb exercises at the gym, Russ? I bow down before the WUS king. @BundyBear and @Betterthere had best get busy.

I knew I liked it when I bought it, but I didn’t realize I’d like it this much. I really appreciate how versatile these watches are. Mine’ll never be mistaken for something dressy, but strap/bracelet changes really turn this into a different watch.

Biggest Line of BS?
I stopped in one of my local stores (retail chain) the other day to see if they had anything I had to have (They didn’t). They carry TAG, Longines, Hamilton, B et M, FC, Bremont, Oris, Citizen, G-Shock, and a couple of others. They had a Citizen Legend Diver on sale marked 30% off. I really wasn’t interested in buying it, but I tried it on. As I was talking to the SA, he informed me that this watch was extremely accurate. Okay, maybe a relative term…relative to what? I let it go.
