How are the rubber straps on these? Seems like Citizen has two kinds of rubber straps. One is more plastic/resin like, other more like soft rubber. How’s the one on these? It’s an integral specific kind… so strap changes aren’t really an option. Any ex...

Preordered this watch on the day it was announced. Arrived a couple months later, but I've not posted it yet but was busy working crazy hours.

Mine came on a fitting orange Tropic band, with an included black…

Is this a turn off for yall? Seems like having something that can scratch on the crystal defeats the purchase of sapphire. Or is this not a big deal? How easily does the AR coating actually scratch?

Hello watch friends,

Starting a casual thread to see what dive watches everyone is wearing today modern, vintage, desk divers, or true tool watches all welcome.

Whether it’s a Sub, Seamaster, Seiko, Doxa, microbrand, or something a bit off the beaten path, let’s see what’s getting wrist time today. Steel, rubber, NATO doesn’t matter, as long as it’s a diver (or diver-inspired).
