It came from ebay. The original case was too shiny for my taste so I had it beadblasted.

That 56 is too cool Nine, I like it.
I LOVE IT. I was going to buy the reg 56 in that color, was googling pics and found one that was "multiband" (atomic) and I HAD TO HAVE IT. Found it at seyiajapan.com, GREAT people to deal with, 4 day shipping from Tokyo to Manitoba. They also included a japanese Gshock catalog, and they can get you any model listed. Dangerous!

I have two I wear, one I just got yesterday for my birthday to wear to work and what not and another my wife got me for graduation that scratches easily that I wear as a dress watch only. The dress watch is a Stauer Speedster (you might have seen them in magazines). I love that watch, it is truly unique. My wife hates it, she calls it my bathroom scale watch. I put a cheapy metal band on it as I was not too fond of the leather one it came with. The one I got yesterday is the Seiko 5 green. I also finally received my Kershaw Echelon I ordered forever ago which was a cool coincidence yesterday. I think the Echelon and green 5 look awesome together.

Haven't worn a watch in years. Have had passing interest, but the ones I really like are usually really expensive. I like more simplistic faces, with leather/cloth bands. I also have pretty small wrists, so a smaller case size and height is what I prefer.
Just ordered the Seiko 5 Military in Beige after reading some rave reviews. The beige band is boring to me, so also ordered a Bond Nato band, and an Olive green Nato band. Currently looking for a nice leather band. I prefer a deep brown color, and white stitching. But don't know where to look, or who is good. And have no idea about size or clasp types(other than the 18mm size on this particular watch).... lol should have the watch mid week.

I've bought no-name leather bands from Nilsen's Watch Straps and was pleased with what I got.

Holben's Fine Watch Bands has similar + deBeer and Hadley-Roma, also Hirsch and Di-Modell.

Should be no problem finding what you want in 18mm.
The hump down the middle of the strap is "Breitling-style."

What I'm wearing: Orient CER0008D Sapphire Snorkler. No one yet has mistaken it for a Rolex, but a great watch for $90. The lume shot was challenging because it fades so fast: this was my third try.
Pulsar PXN021 "Railroad Approved," my beater watch for going in harm's way. I don't want some mugger getting frustrated trying to pull it off my wrist — but what self-respecting mugger would take this? You don't impress anyone with a Twist-O-Flex band. No problem with a lume shot, the LumiBrite dial glows like a meteor for at least an hour.
