...as I'm planning a dive with my Polaris '68, and the only thing stopping me now is the tropical leather strap.
I'm waiting for some NATO straps to arrive and will be putting one on and planning the dive with a little more precision. I think I'll end up taking the watch down in a pouch and then strapping it on. Doing it all on shore or boat will probably result in scratches all over the crystal, what with tanks, hoses, BCD buckles etc.
Hope the photos turn out good!!
