You have the BS-100 GMT? How does it wear? What's the damage?

you mean this:

its a very good design as the base sits flat and lowers the CG of the watch so it looks chunky but won't have a "top heavy" feel.

impeccable finishing and the tech specs redefines what value you can get for the price point.

This was a true impulse purchase and bought it new direct Watches - AQUADIVE Store

Incidentally aquadive prices have been steadily increasing in the past few years due to the demand....so hopefully it continues :D

^ actually what I am missing in my few watches is a solid chunky bracelet. My Tag Carrera bracelet is not the look I am after, as it has a bit of brush-polished mix. The above Seiko looks good. Rolex ones are good, especially the glidelock or whatever its called. Oris has nice chunky ones. So these 3 are good options, though I don't go for Rolex.

Oris bracelets are top notch, very chunky and solid. BUT most of them use funny endlink shapes, so no 3rd party straps of anykind. Another brand that has really good quality chunky bracelet would be Ball, those are top notch and solidly built.

my first order with bradystrap is here!! (black sailcloth with black stitching)

the texture is really really smooth though - definitely feels better than the Paros. But I'm not a man of details so the Paros will do just fine for me.

fellow forumer has reserved the strap (bradystrap) awaiting transaction......

cost: 34.95 USD
handling fee: 4.00 USD (bradystrap)
Total: 38.95 USD

ordered 1st week of May iirc......

Oh when did you get the notification of payment received? I bought mine on 7th May, but I still haven't received my strap. The latest tracking info from USPS is this: "Your item has left our acceptance facility and is in transit to a sorting facility on May 13, 2014 at 2:29 pm in EAST LYME, CT 06333. Information, if available, is updated periodically throughout the day. Please check again later."

I'm actually in the midst of considering/cooling-off for this watch. The problem is I have not seen it in the flesh before.

I love complicated dials and the size at 48mm is another great point for me. Just concerned how it looks because I have been disappointed before, after checking out a watch I thought I would buy. Most recently being the G shock A1100.....
