Just picked this up last thursday at a great price, brand new. If you're ever in Singapore, you owe it to yourself to check out Mustafa Centre in Little India. Good deals on Seikos, Citizens, Hammies, lower-end Tags and Tissots. That big crown doesn't seem to get in the way either, and being titanium, it's large but light.     |

Thanks for the nice comments everyone. That bracelet is a little hard to get right..either too tight or too loose, never just nice. I put this down to the very large links. The perfect excuse to order a Banda Kevlar-look band which should be here in a few days, followed by pics of course! Wanted a canteen crown for awhile, but the only other I could find in SGP was the Zeno BUSHIPS one, and that's a tad small at 32mm. |

Not a huge fan of the canteen crown watches but this one certainly looks all business without the goofy (imho) dangling chain. Really nice and the ti is just a bonus keeping the weight down. Great find. |

Big bummer for me are the chains 'cos I wear the watch on my left hand, and it does get wedged in between my wrist and the watch and can be uncomfortable. |

The canteeny thingy chain just reminds me of those chains grandmas use to keep their glasses around their necks.  |

Beautiful Hamilton there...nice choice! I like the contrasting case/bezel and contrasting bracelet links (rough/polished). Are the polished parts stainless steel or polished titanium alloy on this watch?? I have to admit, I've never seen mirror polished titanium alloy on a watch (or at least I didn't realize that it was titanium). If it is polished titanium alloy, does anyone know how well the polished areas will hold up on a daily basis? I thought that titanium alloys had a much lower hardness than stainless steel. |

I like your watch, especially the crowned crystal and red second hand. Could lose the chain for me, though if you like it thats what matters. |

Nice-looking watch, JKang. I used to have an Invicta with a canteen crown and chain combination. It was ok and I enjoyed it but had to sell it to a buddy. Will check out the store you mentioned. I cross into Singapore a lot. Regards. |

I haven't banged it against anything yet, so no scratches for now. Bracelet's been replaced by a more comfortable hobnail silicone deployant while I wait for my Banda "kevlar". I am sure that Titanium will not be as hardy. I used to have a Kinetic in titanium, and after 3 years the buckle on the bracelet isn't sandblasted. It's just...well..blasted. |

Digging thru my strap box unearthed something quite special; a dive strap off a vintage Ruhla fibreglass "bomb-disposal" (allegedly) watch. Still, I thought it'd go great with the Frogman for that old-school UDT look. The fact that it's pliable and comfortable doesn't go unnoticed either!   |
