I love the looks of the watch in the OP, for that price I would be more than interested in getting a couple. Looks like an ideal every day wear watch I could use to replace my RN Divers Watch.

cwc's are top mate, the quartz in them is good, as for the mwc there is a lot bad press on them as they make out there a top military issue watch and there not, but the cwc is a keeper mate  :tu:

Sorry for the off-topic, but I've been looking for a deployment clasp like this.  The only ones I ever see are the pushbutton butterfly style or just the flip-type with friction closure.  This one has that nice secondary locking clasp that I'm looking for.  (sorry, don't know the terminology)

What type is it, and where can I get one?

Thanks!

According to my search for deployment clasps, that style isn't standard here in the US!  I've seen a couple, but they're very limited in sizes.

The problem is that I want a 20mm one to fit a DeBeers 22mm tapered strap I have.  I don't really want to replace the strap.

does it taper to 22mm as most of these are for 22mm fitting, have you asked the guy what he has  :tu:

Nope, I haven't.  But I will.  It's a 22 that tapers to 20 at the buckle.

Thanks for the link, BTW.
