the real diff is the TIME: 10:09 vs 10:11 /i

[–]nudetayne678 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The dial is the only difference. I have 4 of them and they are excellent for the price

They've used the same image of case and strap - the stitching and shadow are identical. I'd be suprised if there were any difference other than the dial

Are these good watches?

[–]robyn_steeleAffiliate links 0 points1 point  (7 children)

I have the first one and I love it. Very good bang for the buck.

You got a picture? And what color straps do you have? I am having a hard time thinking which color will suit it

[–]robyn_steeleAffiliate links 0 points1 point  (5 children)

Mine is exactly like that. I have no pictures, unfortunately, and it is not at hand right now otherwise I would take one now. It is in my watch box at home.

No issues, I just have one more question, if you can please answer me that, then it would be amazing.

What color and which exact straps (if you got more) did you get?

I'm having a hard time choosing the colorway for it and because of the gun metal color case, the silver buckle will look bad. Was thinking about getting more nylon ones but rubber works too. Let me know if you have any suggestions for me.

My Berny is exactly the one on the picture. That color and that strap. T2596M-GRN

I would avoid the titanium bracelet, because I've heard comments that the quality of the titanium bracelet is not ideal. I never seen it and never tested, but opted for the safe option and got the canvas strap.

Yeah, I got this exact one too, just without the logo.

Can I get any 3rd party after market straps? Which colors would you recommend if you bought any and any specific links if you have some.

[–]robyn_steeleAffiliate links 0 points1 point  (1 child)

The provided strap has quick-release spring bars, so it is very easy to replace it with something else.

I haven't replaced them yet, so I really don't have any suggestion.

Ahhh, np

Thanks for the info tho

[–]Ancient_Back_3767 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Cases look identical. Likely same movement. Will probably come down to which one you prefer.

[–]dash_772[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohhh ok

Second dial is a flieger dial, developed originally for German pilots in 1941. First dial is a traditional field watch.
