·Sure! I don't think there was a dibs on the FS listing already, was there? If not, it's yours in ~2.5 years!
Oo-oo-oo-ooh, a BOX.. kinda like CrackerJacks: cool MANGO inside!

··Mrs Nataf's Other SonWhat's an "Elite Mango"? Is there such a thing as a "Pedestrian Mango"?
Congrats @dougiedude, it looks really good on your wrist....
There is certainly no such thing as a pedestrian Mango.
The Elite is Zenith's non-chronograph movement, the neglected pair to the El Primero in its current line up. All of Zenith's movements are based on one or the other.

··Pratts! Will I B******S!!!I do have a bracelet link remover tool that I've used before, but I think I'll let my WM do it on this most precious one!
I need to take the Speedy in for a hand replacement anyway...
HEaded out!
I always used a hammer and a small nail, just so you know.
I don't THINK I scratched it. 😗

·Beautiful, love that shade of orange. Kind of close to the same shade as my Seiko 6458:

··Carpe horologium!Just got the bracelet off... not all that easy...
... although credit goes to @Darlinboy: Why, using a thin nail and a big hammer does Wonders! 😁...
.... 😉
So now I love it even more on dark brown distressed vintage leather 🥰:

·Been tempted on that one like that. Just not a fan of the gold on the bezel. Hmm it can be swapped...
Go for it! Bezel can easily be swapped as the black ones are more common than these orange ones. However I must tell you, the gold on the bezel really does tie it all together quite nicely. Also came in a white dial variant if you want something a little less common for vintage Seiko divers.

··Carpe horologium!Much better daylight pictures on the vintage leather. Please do feel free to comment on how you think it looks. Steve doesnt like! 🙁
I may try a black leather, too.

·Not particularly a fan of that combo either, maybe it's the slight contrast of the stitching? I think it would look great on a brown shell cordovan.
