Looks like you've had your share of beers while posting here as well. At least you own a 4runner.

Let me guess...you're a gun-hating momma-boy liberal who hate KDSS and uses Android phone all day long to hate on minivan owners.
hikenbike, seeing that you're a very sensitive girl/boy, i am going to point something quite obvious but in a nice way...you're straying quite a bit off this thread's topic. Now, if you want to whine about KDSS (geez! talk about panties getting twisted!) or about me personally, then please PM me. Fair?
Lets get back to topic...WATCHES!

Funny how Thai gets away with violating the rules over and over:
Rules for Toyota-4Runner.org
2. No Personal Attacks
This includes, but is not limited to, name calling, racial slurs, threats, badgering, shouting (typing in ALL CAPS), etc.
3. No Posts For the Purpose of Instigating Flame Wars
This includes, but is not limited to, posts designed to instigate political and religious flame wars (e.g., starting a poll asking whether or not you think the President is a re****). Determinations on the issue of whether a post was made for the purpose of instigating a flame war shall be in the sole and absolute discretion of the admins / mods.
Now can we STAY ON TOPIC ??? or does he get to talk about what he wants or call more people names

Sadly, despite you vocalizing your displeasure with this forum, you are still here...actively doing what you criticize me for....
Hint: PM me next time with your nag.

So back to watches- Yes the extra buttons come in handy from time to time. Mostly to tell you that is is Fing hot in the Stan in the summer time.

The one in the photo, I assume. Not the original Brietling rubber band...
I got it on a website called west coast time. I wanted the military-style strap because it's light and simple. Plus the Brietling band was too thick to mount a compass.
I think mine is the "Regimental UK" version on that website. It was advertised as having holes that wouldn't wear out because they were heat-sealed with a laser or something funky like that. I was skeptical so I bought two. Two years later, I'm still using the first band. It's got some wear, but it's still solid.
Top pic came out a little blurry - sorry.

I dig your style man.
Not sure if this is a better fit of the watch but I loved this compass. Worked great and never let me down.

Yeah, that one is probably better than mine. I think I looked at it but it was a bit too big.

It does says you have more money then common sense, you and me both.
I gave it myself as a gift when I quit smoking.
second one is my second favorite Eco drive Citizen, 3month and dead on to the second. tough as nails too. I do everything with that watch on.
In some sense it is like 4runner, versatile and will last forever.
very good blue lume.

Yeah, but there's also something to be said for buying something expensive and bombproof. I went through at least 1 "wal-mart" watch every year or so for 20-odd years before I bought my Breitling. Smashed on a rock, came off the band, stopped glowing at night, mud got into the bezel, cracked the glass. You name it, I did it.
Got my Breitling 10 years ago, so I think it was probably $1400 well spent. You'll probably pass that Omega down to your children.
That's why we buy Toyotas, and why I prefer Danner boots, my Colt AR-15, Filson outdoor gear, etc.
The only drawback are the screams from the Mrs. when she finds out you spent X on Y. But just remind her how much she spends on expensive-but-poorly-made shoes and it's all good
