Scurfa intrigues me…

Not that I need another diver or another beater, but unlike some micro brands Scurfa seems to have an honesty around the product, in how straightforward in function it is. Bezel action is one of the things cheaper watches really have trouble getting right and I understand Scurfa nails that. 
 

A yellow dial quartz might be fun to pick up at some point…

Mine came with the Oris brown strap that comes on the 80th model, actually. It's.....okay. Not my bag, but I don't wear leather straps very much. What I might try come summer is an Erika's Originals strap with bronze hardware.

This particular alloy presents very red, it really almost glows red in the sun. Not sure if the more aluminum heavy alloys used by Tudor and IWC do the same or not. 
 

Today I noticed some blue/purple coming in as well.

Just to piggyback on everyone else, if you’re able to I suggest seeing an orthopedic surgeon specializing in hand/wrist. That’s the right person for this. If they want further testing for peripheral nerve issues they will be able to direct you to a neurophysiologist.

Oh that’s really nice. Have you had any oxidation come off the bracelet on your wrist? 

What made you go with the red dial, did you consider the others? I know I don’t want the brown, and I initially liked the green, but looking more it’s a tossup between the red/blue/green. Each has its own thing.
