This watch has been growing on me. I have been wearing it all the time since I got it almost 2 weeks ago. Today I got this new "Chevron" NATO (Tudor style) strap from Crown & Buckle that I think matches it very well. Unfortunately they don't have bronze hardware option. I emailed them, and they were kind enough to respond that they are going have black PVD option in the next month or 2, but are still evaluating bronze because based on their experience with bronze doesn't have enough demand. In any case, I think even with brushed stainless steel it looks good. The quality of the fabric is very good, the color is very deep blue, almost black. It's woven from black and blue strands and shows a really nice texture. It's adjustable, and has "memory" so when yo bend it one way it stays like that (for example if you curl the end of the strap it stays nice and flush to the strap instead of sticking out). I also ordered Eirka's Originals MN strap in black with red stripe and bronze hardware, but that one is taking some time. The loom on this thing is amazing, i's so bright in the dark, and even when it's not completely dark you ca see it. So far (11 days) it has been extremely accurate, well with COSC spec. Worn I am getting min: +0.1, max: +4.8, avg: +1.8. If it stays this way I will be very, very happy. The patina has been developing nicely.I haven't tried any "artificial" techniques and don't plan to. The initial very bright "pinkish" color is fading away, which is a good thing.
