awesome watch, i own the same model. they look good on the wrist try maybe getting a vintage SWISS TROPIC MOD DEP diver band or even a nato/zulu strap for her ... just for a change of pace once in a while
Yeah, I'm really impressed with how it looks/feels and am quickly becoming a fan of the brand like @JwRosenthal. Quality goods without the massive demand (and hence rise in prices).
Thanks also for the tips on the straps, I've liked the Tropic bands for a while but bloody hell..... 18mm curved Tropic strap in black on eBay will cost me half as much as the watch itself cost! Lol
Vintage tropics are expensive and rare. I have had luck squeezing a 19mm Uncle Seiko tropic into 18mm lugs without it looking funky, but another .5mm could give a bit too much squish. If I feel daring, I may trim the edges at the lugs of a 19mm US to see how it looks.
@hmmmcamu Can you help me find the correct replacement crystal for the blue dial/bezel Snorkel I've purchased please (movement 11AOACB)?
The original crystal measures 30.60-30.65mm so I've bought three on eBay (637 AW, 1313A & 1468AY) and none are a match (the first is closest but 1mm thicker than original)?
Thanks very much in advance!

may i see a photo of the watch, and if possible a photo of the case back both inside and outside ?
Here you go, pics of back, inside case back and dial, plus pics of the THREE different 30.6/30.65mm crystals that I've bough including the only listed Bulova crystal (1469AY) at this size on the GS Crystals website (which is a cool like to have, thanks!).
