Last days on the yellow rubber
The summer is ending and these are the last days of my Flightmaster SNA411on its bright yellow rubber band.
I took the time to inspect it because it's been already 3 years since I changed the battery and it doesn't look like it need replacement. The Hardlex crystal is still free of scratches and the high polish sides are still shinny and relatively clean. Hardlex is getting a bad name but in my case I have no complains and upgrading it to a sapphire doesn't look to be worth my bother.
The back is also holding well and I'm again amazed at the ridiculously short lugs that contributes to its wearability but also makes changing straps a pain in the behind.
It's super comfortable on the rubber strap, but the SNA411 is such a strap monster that it would be a shame not to explore other options.
I'm a big fan of watches that are interesting because they are either unique, have interesting features, well designed or simply offer a great value for their price.
