how come u didnt buy the new engineer master 2 diver tmt ??

The engineer master 2 diver tmt is a nice watch .
I like big watches wanted to get the nautica swiss but turned off by the strap .
But personally i do not like non steel straps .
This is a limited edition .
1600 world wide .
Only 16pcs in singapore .
So the big watch/strap/limited combo works for me in this buy .
Went to look look see see the Engineer Hydrocarbon Chronograph . But a bit too small for my wrist so got this instead .

So the first time they adjusted the strap abit tight i turned my wrist few times and the clasp scratch my veins till red red and requested them add in 1 more link . And underneath the inside of the box got special tools to remove straps/links .
