SIZING YOUR BRACELETIf your watch comes with a bracelet, there are removable links in it, and the clasp has either a ratcheting expansion feature, or some micro-adjustment holes to provide a comfortable fit.Removable Links with Solid Screw BarsThe removable links in our bracelets are held in place with solid screw-bars.Be sure to use the correct size screw driver when removing the screw-bars, and don't force them. Using a screwdriver which is too small for the screw heads can strip them, making removal impossible, and requiring them to be drilled out. Stripped screw heads are not covered under warranty.We recommend using a small bit of mild thread locker or clear nail polish on the screw-bar threads, to prevent the screw-bars from coming loose. Lost screw-bars and resultant damage to a watch are not covered under warranty.Clasp AdjustmentsIf your clasp does not have an ratcheting expansion function, there will be additional end-link mounting holes on the sides of the clasp. These micro-adjustment holes enable smaller sizing adjustments than the removable links.
The end-links can be moved to the other holes by compressing the ends of the spring-bars holding the end-links in place.If All Else FailsIf you require assistance sizing your bracelet, most jewelers and any watchmaker can size a bracelet quickly and inexpensively.AUTOMATIC WINDING.

I considered an M75, so I'm with you on that being a nice watch. Not that what other people like should matter, but the Combat like is Lum-tec's largest seller by a lot from what I've read (hearsay).After getting the 18 (black) and the 30 (white), I wound up selling the 31 (brown). I don't know about regret, but it just didn't seem to fit as much with what I wear. I could make the 18 and 30 duo work with tons of outfits.(I've since sold them all though in order to finance a little grail of mine, so what good is my opinion anyway?!). Well, I changed direction a bit.
I went with a B35 which is a black PVD case with black face auto. I liked the bronze, but was thinking of getting something that would not need tended to. The movement is the STP1-11. I was doing a bit of research and think this is a safe movement to try.
It seems that ETA has changed its business strategy that will impact the market in the future and Myota has been manipulating pricing on components with prices on the upswing. I think the STP seems to be on par with the other two movements, but looks like something nice to go with should I need something done with the watch down the road.
Fingers crossed on the STP. Looking forward to getting the B35. I figurea variety of straps will let it settle into more formal occasions while still being rugged looking enough for edc. Thanks for the input. Even though I seemed to follow none of it, lol! At this point, I was going to send it back to the authorized distributor I bought it from.

They seem to have a no questions asked deal and I just send it back and say what I want done. They are still showing stock at this point.
Do you think I should just deal with Lum Tec for warranty instead? I posted about this in another thread, but does anyone have experience with the titanium PVD coating they use? Now I'm just wondering how durable that will be. I try to keep everything nice and protected, but stuff happens.
The lume is crazy on these things! It almost looks better in the dark than in the light.lol! I have to admit, the black on black, isn't that dressy, but I'm not really either. The off white numerals kind of gives it a classic style though instead of bright white. Anther question is this is numbered 1045 0f 200.
How does that work? Do they do multiple short runs, but keep the serial numbers rolling along?
Thanks for all the help.
