Looks like some more have showed up on Amazon for the same $197.99 price

I like your brown band better than mine, which is black without the contrast threading. That band looks really good on that watch  :like:

Thanks!  I wasn't sure how I'd like the black dial and brown strap, but I think it looks good too. I wonder why they didn't do contrasting stitching with the black strap?  I personally prefer that look.  Though, it does seem dressier with the matching stitching,

I don't know, but I think it's the older release of your watch, #241586. Here's a photo of mine.

Picked up this Wenger Urban Classic watch off Amazon for $51.79 (still available for that price).  I'd never heard of it before, but with free shipping and returns, there was no risk in trying. Frankly, for the price I'm blown away. An all stainless, 100m water resistant, metal bracelet, Swiss made watch for Walmart Timex money is alright in my book.

Actually it strikes me as a timex weekender with all its specs upgraded. Real WR, sapphire coated crystal, stainless case, screw back. Too bad the size is upped as well. Specs: 41mm diameter, 22mm lug width, 48mm lug to lug, 10 or 11mm thick.

Really, the only downside for me is that it wears large for my small wrist. Doesn't seem so bad in the mirror pic below, but the up close wrist pics make it look huge. Thoughts on if it's too big?

If anyone could use a quality watch for little dosh, so far if highly recommend this. Especially all you Swiss Army Knights ;)

I was also pleasantly surprised by the dial detail. The stock photo on Amazon made me think it was white, but it has a pattern with raised numbers. Looks different in different light and at different angles.

Oh, yeah. That's a nice looking dial! You got a great looking watch :tu:

This is going to be my new work watch. The metal bracelet is very comfortable which is generally not the case for me.

I don't have a 009 but I have the 007 and it is by far the best bang for the buck watch. You have to try the strapcode oyster bracelet. I normally don't like metal bracelets either but this was a game changer. Once I put it on it never came off. I prefer natos/rubber straps even leather straps which I know is taboo for a "dive watch" but the 007 is my only seiko dive watch on bracelet.  :cheers:

Been eyeing the Bulova Snorkel 96B210 for years. So when I found a vendor on Ebay that sells factory refurbished Bulovas at a good discount, was time to get one.  I'm excited. Came in mint condition!

This month is not good for my wallet. Watchuseek members had noted that many TJ Maxx's are getting in Vic INOX watches with bracelets for $129. They had several at mine, so had to add one to my SAW collection:

Something a little different.  I felt this was a bit on the large side at first but quite like it now after adjusting the bracelet.  Titanium case and bracelet and saphire chrystal.

Likely a good thing that I'm in Canada and don't have easy availability to the victorinox watches shown.  It would be difficult to resist and I already have enough watches as is.  Also that Bulova Snorkel would be quite tempting.  Nice photos of them also.

I got the Bulova from watcheshalfprice on Ebay, who sells factory refurbished and warrantied Bulovas at good prices and also ships to Canada.  Might watch to see if he gets any more in.  :D
