Indeed ! I just got the 20mm to fit the Lunar Pilot but I have a 22mm I use often on others I own. So versatile.

Looks sharp!

I see you have many great suggestions for a different band so I can't add any value there but I can certainly confirm that the stock strap that comes with it is pretty ugly so I can see how that would create the emotions you're feelings. I believe the secret to new found love is in a better strap. Remember the old pick up line: "Do you believe in love at first sight or should I walk by a few more times?"

Thanks ! It's a Monza leather strap from CheapestNato - they still have them but not quite the same. Waiting for some new ones to come in for this watch to change it up a bit.

I hear you - such a thing as too much orange but the watch is cool - black (ish) NATO or a silicone strap with orange accent would be pretty slick.
