... but the watch and case itself are on the sportier side anyway for me, so I get it, even with the orange. Why not? Ok it loses a bit of its seriousness, but we know some friends with VERY VERY colorful straps on quite formal watches right? ))) So this is not the problem! The PVD execution is. DLC or ceramitized Ti would be better for a watch like that. It's not a xxx bucks trend diver after all.
