My FAVORITE watch

I got this vintage diver from eBay at a steal of a deal. When I got it, the watch was attached to a crappy stretchy metal bracelet. I ordered a nice military green NATO for it and just got a nice mesh metal bracelet in the mail today that looks GREAT on it. Here are a few quick pics!

What does everyone think? I don't have pics of it on the NATO uploaded yet.

It's a TRUE vintage :) No mods done to this beauty. Original tritium lume on dial/hands. original everything except bracelet/strap.

Looks great, Bruce! Have you considered aging the mesh band so it looks like it could be the original band?

Looks really great -- like an Omega Seamaster. The mesh bracelet really accents its character. Good job of adapting. AND, you're right -- you CAN find a good bargain on watches on eBay.

Good luck, and Thanks!

Very nice watch! It looks very close to the Alsta Nautoscaph Richard Dreyfuss wore in Jaws.

Some newer pics. Will upload the NATO pics later. Which of the SS bracelets look better on it? The mesh it was on came from a crappy Guess watch that died.
