Big Kahuna indeed......

I have a bracelet on "order", how does it wear on the bracelet? very heavy? or does it work smooth....

Cheers
Toni

It looks fantastic. I too thought about doing that with my Super Avenger. But, then I think is a leather strap really the right choice for a watch that is clearly meant to "get wet?" I love the look of out but I am unsure of its practicality (for me).

If you don't get your watch wet, it's a great choice..!!!

Congrats on the new watch. It looks fantastic with the dial color and band! I am also a fan of the broken numerals. Enjoy it

I think the slate dial and brown leather is a perfect combo on that watch, very nice indeed!

Hi, thanks for Your input... for me its not a big thing, i spend 99,99% of my time above the surface... when below I can change to the bracelet or rubber...

I can see the point in not wearing a leather strap on a dive watch, but If you look at other brands(god forbid.. ;-)) for example Panerai, clearly a dive watch, most people have them(including myself) on a leatherstrap.

With hopes of a dry season...

I like the slate grey dial on the brown leather...when I was looking at the AS a while back, I thought the dial was a brown, but it's just that it tends to have a brownish hue when next to the brown strap.. Very nice.
The bracelet is comfortable.. Not excessively heavy, but I guess that depends on the individuals perception of the weight.
Congrats on the new addition.

Superb combo with the slate grey and brown calf mate 8) probably the exact combo I'd go for as I also like the seawolf in those colours.

Think you will difinitely notice it on your wrist more with the steel bracelet. The Pro2's well made and quite chunky. But thats why we like 'em :wink:
