That's when I walked in and saw this, it reminds me of a blue dial omega Speedmaster I have but the white index markers and hands remind me of the Nautlus I want but can't afford. At first I was concerned about the size but it is the only one that would fit under my cuff, which is very important to me given how tempramental these w
