Not sure why I haven't been paying attention to this perfectly decent Samurai, but I'm going to spend the rest of the day wearing it to try and make up for it ;- )

Ha that’s what I wore to school today. I teach first grade and my kids know the nicknames of all my watches. They always want to see the Samauri when the hands set lines up and it looks like a rocket. My students are great they know I am a watch beard. And they say stuff like “Hey Mr. B I really like that jade sumo” “Mr. B when are you going to bring back the Kaki king?” Then when they go on to second grade they try to give me a hard time joke around and say hey Mr B. my new teacher she has much nicer watches than you.

So because I teach first grade I am legitimately required to teach how to tell time on an analog clock. That is part of the curriculum, most of the kids are unfamiliar with any analog clock they are only around digital clocks. So to prove that analog timepieces are relevant I put up on the projection screen the Rolex website and use the configuration tool and the kids vote on what they like how they wanted to configure their watch. So I get to ask questions like “if you want the Datejust stand up If you want the Sky Dweller raise your hand, platinum stand up if you like ever rose gold raise your hand. Ok now if you want the fluted bezel stand up. If you’re for the diamond paved dial raise your hand this is what they came up with. Yikes over the top gaudy but then they are 6.

Justin1200Six today, hedge fund managers tomorrow--or a bunch of filthy rich hip-hop artists?Either will cover that tab--but society will hold YOU responsible for the actual result! Will it be a generation of PDQ Bachs, or a generation ASAP Rockys? The future of mankind rests on your shoulders!

Good thing Samurai’s are emotionless! I think next year I’ll purchase one I went over board on watches this year

That would be poor motivation, as the only thing I expect to get from the will is the watch I would've bought her 🤣

Why don't you try that NATO on it? To make it up to the poor thing?

VinaigreDeRizOkay, good call/suggestion on @VinaigreDeRiz 's part--testing the Samurai on a grey stripe NATO:

Looks good; works with the dial and bezel quite nicely. And here is on a black Sailcloth two-piece strap with silver accent stitching, also from Geckota:

Not bad, sailcloth is durable and is water and sweat resistant. Not a bad choice and the Samurai is actually the watch Geckota uses on their site to promote this strap.

Word of caution: that damn OEM Samurai bracelet uses solid end links and they are a pain to remove and even worse to put back on again!
