Hullo! Just wondering if I can kinda get any opinions/thoughts on my strap choice here & if anyone had similar experience suddenly liking a watch in your collection years later that you were disappointed with.i bought this Arnie tropical lagoona at the beginning of my watch journey. I paid full price for this in the uk. About £400, I then acquired a steel shroud for about £90... Ouch. And ouch again. Roughly £500 on this. I should probably add a third ouch. When I bought it I was like "that's my forever watch, it's so awesome, don't need to buy another watch after that". Roughly 4 years and 30 watches later this one has become kinda lost in my collection

Over the few years of being into watches I've really become fond of smaller watches, 36-40mm even though I have 7.5 inch wrists. It is a nice watch, works fantastically and is quite feature rich. But almost immediately I was trying straps/bracelets to get myself to like it more...blue and black Isofranes, tropics, even dressing it up a bit with leather straps and everything inbetween. But recently I kinda felt like I had wave of Clarity and just gave up and made it an out and out diver with this cheap vintage blue dive strap from ebay

  
Tldr... didn't like it, now I

[Seiko Arnie] a regrettable purchase, kinda love it now
