    I am the watch pirate judge for you and your strap escapades. The verdict is you are an official watch pirate and strap bandit. Congratulations.

    Nice review. Got this in purple, very impressed . Comfortable, great legibility, excellent lume, surprisingly accurate, nice crown action. Only negative, bit chunky, though (imo) the bracelet works well including disguising the chunkiness somewhat

      Thank you! I agree on the Purple dial the bracelet is better integrated due to the steel accents of the hand and the white numerals. I got no issue with its height, thou one can tell the watch design is based on a diver.

    Nice review Toni. I appreciate your quest to enhance your current watches. The bracelet on the Hamilton and strap for Zelos look nice and make for a cohesive unit. I dont love the hands that Zelos chose as it appears to be an afterthought? Just my opinion. Enjoy the rest of your weekend

      Thank you, Clay! I grew to appreciate those hands as they make telling the time quite dramatic 😂

    Such a good release from zelos I have the exact same one and it’s my go to white dial watch it’s not boring and I love the blue accents and black hands. I love the good size and bracelet with quick and micro adjust and screwed in links. The lume is so good on the white dial. Honestly not gonna find value like this anywhere else without paying a crazy high premium even name brands don’t do a bracelet as good as this with the crazy lume. Zelos did a fantastic job on this release. Also for the price the finishing is unreal I was so impressed with this release. I even got the bronze mop and would never ever sell for how much I got it for. Great review!

    I would never expect for a bracelet to fit a completely different brand and case. Probably because a bracelet is not my cup of tea in general.
    Well noted the 12,3mm and 42mm wide Vespera model cameo. Thank You for the mention;)

    Beautiful watch, great review Toni. You ruined nothing here as I'm a strap zombie as well. 😂

    Never been a huge huge Zelos fan (which is weird for me) but quite like that.

      This is the "least Zelos" of the Zelos Swordfish 38s out there.

    i think that the strap on the Z makes the hands pop and for this kind of a watch the fkm is perfect. i dont think you ruined the hammi, its a watch you love and now you made it more versatile.
    is that why you were so worried abt this review?

      Thank you, Sivan! I wouldn't say I was worried, but I had my reservations, particularly about that mess I did with the adhesive.

    Changing a bracelet for a strap is always an improvement for me.
