The ultimate PRS-18 set?

[TaketheCannoli]

Having had just one watch for a while (Smiths Everest) and being extremely happy with it, I have recently been able to go back into the market for another watch. But what to buy?

I thought long and hard about the watches I've owned and those I might want to try in the budget I had. I have always been a fan of divers and this quickly became the focus of my attention.

I could go on about my considerations but I won't bore you. I decided on the PRS-18Q for several reasons; best value watch I've ever owned, rugged yet smart depending on strap, 300m WR for the local leisure pool and I could buy a new one with a warranty which is always a bonus.

The 18 arrived from Eddie first week in August and I've not taken it off yet! I have bought a selection of straps that I think make this the ultimate 18 set, the straps are;

- Orange Isofrane

- PRS-82 rubber

- TF natos in Coyote Brown, Black and Original Light Grey

- Monkeyswag natos in Bronze Bond and Navy Blue

Needless to say I'm very happy with my lot.

Brilliant! It looks surprisingly good on the orange Isofrane. Not a combo I would have thought of.

Such a versatile watch, love the bronze bond............ Very retro.

I've been thinking about this and decided that that's an excellent two-watch combo. You've got the Everest that can be dressed up or down, and the 18Q that's a superb tool watch.

And both are no-date, which is to my personal preference too.

Great set! I have the Speedbird III and the 18q, plus a G-shock. As my other hobbies require some investment at present, I'm pretty happy with that three watch set. I like your case and strap arrangement.

Great choice ,i have the 18Q and the Everest very nice watches . They look good on any strap might have to invest in some more NATO'S now I've seen your selection.

Good call. Anyway, superb set and it does look surprisingly good with a splash of orange!
