My only Xeric Is the NASA Voyager Automatic 1000m Diver Meteorite. It arrived in a very cool case with the NASA logo and authentication for the meteorite. However, the silicone strap quickly became annoying. As a diver myself, I know that you need a waterproof strap. But for everyday use I purchased the Ribbed Horween leather strap in black with red stitching. It looks awesome with the red inlay around the crown and the red case that shows beneath the rotating bezel. It looks stunning and was easy to swap. Please dont shy away from purchasing alternate straps for your Xeric. Mine arrived within 5 days of ordering. I am so happy I backed this watch, the Seiko NH38 keeps excellent time and did you know that the back has a replica of the Golden Disk? Besides all that, 1000m! , are you kidding me?
