Awesome Oscar! 
Did it come with that level of patina treatment as delivered, or did you hit it with some LOS right away? Looks absolutely perfect! 
Enjoy!

Great choices Chris !
The last days I asked my self why I wear my Tektite so rarely.
Love this watch. The case shape with the bezel is so awesome. 
And I love the OEM rubber.
The watch runs perfectly. +2sec/3days.

Thanks Phil! Like you, love the Tektite!!!
I REALLY need to mount mine on the OEM rubber sometime (I think I've got both the black and orange OEM rubber options in the box). I seem to remember having a very difficult time getting the OEM rubber mounted up for some reason...spent so much time on it that I finally gave up!!!  Maybe I'll give the OEM another try later today if I get some time.
An absolutely awesome watch though.

Ooohh, I have no problems to install the rubber.
Fits perfectly.
I ordered the full kit.
With black & orange rubber, mesh, Nato and OEM bracelet.
All variations are great.

I'll have to give it another try then Phil...maybe during the Broncos game!
I seem to remember that when the strap was seated tight against the case, the lug bar did not want to go through ... I'll give it another go!

Chris, Now I can remember (man, I am getting old). 
I had the same problem.
I have the holes drilled minimal. Use a drill for iron.
Really simple.
After that it fits perfectly.

Thanks my friend!  
Makes sense...I will modify the holes very slightly with a drill until the lug bar slides through! Thank you for the expert tip!
