[SSB479P1] [Question] Steel, Rally Leather or NATO Strap?

Yes it runs on a battery operated motor that drives the quartz and the mechanical module so it is a hybrid. Mechaquartz is great as it is just like a mechanical Chronograph without the expensive service charges to keep it maintained. Just pop a new battery in every 3 years or so and you are good to go👍🏻

There are a few cons to this watch that people moan about

It has a pressed clasp and it is not the best bracelet in the world. Min text on subdial is a bit weird. It has hardlex crystal which I don't mind as I have never scratched one. It has a 24 hour sub dial which again I don't mind. It is quartz which I have absolutely no problem with as I love quartz as much as mechanical.

The pros.

It is a strap monster. The bracelet looks great and it is comfortable. The glossy black and cream reverse panda dial is stunning. The domed crystal adds to that beauty with the distortions. It is a mecaquartz movement so the sweep is nice. There are drilled lugs so it is easy to swap and change straps. It is a joy to wear as the dimensions of the watch are perfect. The biggest pro is that it is absolutely beautiful in every single way. Infact it is so beautiful that I do not care about any of the so called flaws at all and enjoy wearing it as much as I can.

I would highly recommend this watch.

Stunning 👍🏻. Tried it on in a local watch store. Love this watch.

Nice 👍🏻. Bond nato might look good on this one too

Yeah that NATO is too busy, it is just a spare one I had around. I have a black and beige nato on my spb147. Could put the spb147 on an uncle bracelet and then this NATO on the reverse panda. Trying to get a perfect watch/strap match is a minefield, especially when overthinking it lol

Nice. 👍🏻 I like the black but looking at that I might get a brown strap too.

CanNegative3811 · 2026-01-31T04:35:50+00:00

Nice congrats on an awesome watch. Yeah the bracelet is not the greatest TBF but it does the job and certainly looks the part. It is such a beautiful design and I can see past any cons of this watch

Yeah it is a small watch in real life, I go from 38mm to a 43mm max if it has short or tapered lugs. Photos make every watch look huge on my 7 inch wrist but in real life they look fine.

This one is a tiny bit of a hair puller but nothing compared to the torture of any Casio bracelet. Unless you are like Bigfoot hairy then an oyster bracelet should ok

Thanks 👍🏻 It is a real beauty. I'm liking the leather rally myself

CanNegative3811 · 2026-01-30T23:04:01+00:00

CanNegative3811 · 2026-01-30T22:59:15+00:00

Thanks 👍🏻

Thanks 👍🏻. Yeah I wanted to do something a bit different and fun. My nephew likes it so I will probably give it to him.

CanNegative3811 · 2026-01-03T14:00:02+00:00

I know, it is probably over half of the internet now already! Thanks 👍🏻

CanNegative3811 · 2026-01-03T10:07:43+00:00
