I've got a black and a brown, and I swap back and forth depending upon my shoes and belt.

Unfortunately it's a special TAG band that attaches with two screws. I just replaced it again, so I guess I'm good for another two years or so. :)

I love these, the classic full size Seiko Diver. Been around forever, there are many variations avaialble these days. They are as tough as nails, visible in any light condition, highly water resistant and have Seiko's very robust 7s26 mechaincal movement (quartz is available also) Best of all, they are a true beater, you can get them NIB over the web for less than $150. They are what Rolex Sub used to be, an indestructible diver watch, function determines form.

Do stump up the extra bucks for the solid link oyster bracelet, the cheap ones are rubbish.
