The circumference of my wrist varies significantly from day to day. My old Seamaster bracelet would either be tight or loose. Hence, the NATO.

Hipsters love NATOs and ZULU straps on their GMTs, 'Dwellers, and Subs! O.P. people like to wear designer collard shirts with "graphics" on them!

Orient is made by Seiko, Automatic, mineral crystal, good looking, $150 a couple of years ago, on the inexpensive side I love some of the Seiko 5, I also like the Bambino 2 series

Yes. You'd be hard pressed to find a nicer quality watch for hundreds more. I've owned a Rolex Submariner and as crazy as it sounds, the Seiko holds its own pretty damned well for about 350 times less. . .
