Sure. It is a review-worthy watch.
Just my $0.02 USD as always.

The white dial HKFM arrived from River Edge Jewelers. I love this thing already. I don't know, there's just something neat about having a watch and an inverse of that watch.

Sorry for crummy photos, I got done with work too late to catch the magic hour and was too lazy to deal with glare.

Looks great. Any chance you can tell if your new white version has the standard ETA movement?

Edit: From everything I'm seeing online the white versions all have the newer movement.

I haven't cracked the case open, but I'm fairly certain this an H-50. The ref number is H69439411 and the back the case says H694390.

Thanks! These thin Martu Leather straps are so comfortable. I'd like to get some new 2-piece canvas straps to closer match the military esthetic. Looking for something maybe a little more "interesting" than the standard Barton, Clockwork Synergy, etc canvas straps. I really like this one by EK Straps, but not quite sure I want to spend the hand-made premium right now (though that one is pretty reasonably priced). We'll see.

I might suggest the two-piece Cordura and Leather straps from Vario.
[mention]ManOnTime[/mention] has one of these, so he can weigh in on the quality.

https://vario.sg/collections/2-piece-co ... atch-strap

Right now, they have their Spring/Summer Sale through the end of this month.

1 Strap - 8% OFF (Use VARIO8 during check out)
2 Straps - 15% OFF (automated discount)
3 Straps - 20% OFF

That's just awesome and your fist picture is fantastic. I would love to own one of these but would have a hard time choosing. They both look great! And your straps rock 8-) .

I have an olive one that I've worn with my Glycine Combat Vintage. It's the only Cordura strap I've had, so I really don't have anything to compare it to. However, I would say that it balances stiffness Vs. pliability very nicely.

Got my new Woman's Eterna in the other day. [mention]cairoanan[/mention] posted a deal and I like the look and the 36mm size is great for me. It wears a little bigger being it's all face. I got the bracelet too, but I started sizing that and realized it was going to be a rough go. The pins are collared about halfway down. I get the pins about halfway out with a pusher and then they won't budge. Not even pulling with pliers. So I put it on a black Fluco lizard grain I had laying around. Nice watch all around. Solid build, sapphire, and a 5 jewel Ronda quartz movement. Date flips exactly at midnight. Here's a couple bad photos:
