Hey guys,

Chris Weigand sent me a Combat B16 to field-test for him over here in Iraq. I will be taking a bunch of pictures over the next couple of months and posting them on here, so enjoy what you see. I will also remark on how the PVD coating and movement hold up to some of the abuse I put it through on missions, at the range, in the gym, shower, etc.

What I do have to say so far is this:

-The rubber strap is the MOST COMFORTABLE rubber strap I have ever worn. I have owned several Seiko Wave straps, IsoFrane straps, and others, and this one is very comfy while being sturdy at the same time.
-The movement doesn't make a ton of noise like some automatic watches, so that is a plus in my opinion.
-I have already knocked the case on my rifle, a few door jambs, and a kettle bell I was working out with (I am a bear, what can I say?) and the PVD coating just takes a licking and keeps on going.

On to the pics:

Nice.....
That is for the piece, the piece, the other piece and pix

 

Hani, funny as usual.

 

How are you finding the watch??

 

Wrist shot, it looks pretty massive. I guess its gonna be good for quick glance type of stuff when it matters.

 

Awesome to see, I look forward to following!

 

Great shots Raiff. Glad to see the PVD can hold up to abuse.

 

That thing is so big and bright that the bad guys might see you at night.

 

Awesome set of pictures I really like the new strap!

 

@Hani & big_slacker: I am finding the watch to be very comfortable, and light on my wrist. This may be a biased opinion as I routinely wear a Rolex DeepSea and that thing weighs a ton.

The numerals are very nice, and I actually use it as a timer for certain things.
