    Not to answer for him, but yes. The M18 and M17 are only available in what Sig calls Coyote Tan, which is basically FDE.

    I like the blue ostrich in the third pic. Complementary contrast!

    I'm another vote for the Fluco.

    Nice pick up, Sedi. Very cool.

    Thanks! It arrived today. I never had a bracelet that was as annoying to remove. Of course this watch needs to go on a Nato. I'm thinking about getting a nice Gasgasbones strap for it. The original Spacewalk strap is 400 bucks and only available in 24mm. There was one other Seiko however that used a very similar strap, a solar, digital "Alpinist" JDM model.
    The watch looks even better in real life BTW.

    I'll post more pics later on.



    Edit: here's some more info about the Spacewalk Seiko which was the inspiration for this model.

    The Coyote on the slide is actually brown. The FDE is the tan on the receiver. Not wanting to turn this into a gun discussion, so I'll send you a few questions later in PM about your HK since I use to own about five HK years ago.
