I suggest getting the mesh bracelet from Staib for anyone buying this watch. It feels great on wrist and its nice and chunky which fits the watch. I finally received mine after a month of ordering it from the online retail outlet listed at the bottom of the page on http://www.staib.de/. The outlet link is https://www.bracelets-for-watches.com/en . The VAT is removed if shipping outside Europe. This is cheaper then Long Island Watch, Hans-Peter Bruger of timedesign.de and a few other sites.

I opted for the polished 4mm thick with diver's clasp version as it allows for finer adjustments. Those interested in figuring out sizing for other watches should refer to Hans' website linked below. You need to take into account your wrist size and lug to lug length of the watch especially if opting for the butterfly clasp version as sizing is in 5mm jumps. If it's too short you can buy the extensions from Long Island Watch linked here https://www.longislandwatch.com/STAIB_W ... s/1953.htm. A few other sites also has them.

So for sizing requirements, Hans' site is linked here http://www.timedesign.de/ . Once you get there, click on the Staib icon and you can refer to the tables he made. He doesn't remove VAT for shipping outside Europe but has good reputation and been around for a long time. He has a store on ebay too.

For my 6.75in/170cm wrist, I bought the 150mm version of the model linked here https://www.bracelets-for-watches.com/e ... 84-en_2442 . As VAT is removed, price dropped from €179 to €152 for me though now it seems to be about €154. Postage is another €9 but it did take a month to arrive with barely any updates till right before I got the bracelet.

Anyway, here's some of my pictures. Apologies for the poor quality but hope it shows how well made the bracelet is. And if case you are wondering, no it doesn't pull any hair off my hairy wrist. :D

Then they added 4 more the next day, now it shows as 1 available but maybe there'll be more added when the last one sells out. If you're on the fence, maybe worth adding it to your watch list and monitor. The Sellita movement should not be a problem to get it serviced/fixed if necessary. Kinda ironic too i think considering ETernA couldn't use ETA movement in it.

the fine satin brushing/polished bits on the case and bracelet is what tipped me over. Considering the picture above looks a bit overexposed, found a picture of the chronograph variant and if it looks as good as the picture below,i'll be very happy for sure.

2 more watches appear once more.

Two colorways of the Victorinox I.N.O.X. on bracelet available from MyGiftShop on eBay (an AD) For $169.99 with free shipping.

Edit: Not sure why the eBay preview of the black model shows the wrong price. Should be $169.99 when you click through.

The caseback reference number shown(127000444888) is for a different Kontiki however. This is a 36mm quartz .I think it will be fine on men's and women's wrist despite being marketed as women's watch. The strap is described as black rubber imitation alligator strap. Didn't know such a strap exists. Guess will find out when arrives. 2 watches remaining.

Can't find much info on this model zodiac. If you have access to the navy exchange this looks like a good deal. Link to hodinkee page for this model. https://shop.hodinkee.com/products/zodi ... 5818970187

Looks like it uses an STP 3-13 which may be chronometer rated? Someone please chime in and correct me.

Zodiac Super Sea Wolf for $700. https://www.mynavyexchange.com/mobile/p ... d=13231351

Thanks for posting the reference number. All of the other listings I'm finding say this is a 40mm watch. I'm guessing Bloomingdales is wrong. Good price regardless.
