Ulysse Nardin Maxi Marine Chronometer

In America we get upset at the notion that cool objects are sold elsewhere and not here. We have had to deal with this for years in terms of cars, electronics, and especially watches. Japanese companies such as Citizen and Seiko are well known in the US, but don't exactly have the prestige that Swiss watches have. Regardless, in Japan these companies service the low-end and high-end markets equally.I'd say that most of the interesting watches that Citizen makes are never officially sold in the U........

Title says almost everything I want to know, except that I don't want to spend more on a strap than I did on the watch! I just don't think the rubber strap that came on it does it justice, and would like to try it with a gray lizard or shark. I normally don't care for lizard, but for some reason I seem to think one would look good on this. Maybe it was seeing the lizard strap that came on the Android Double Excapement that I bought, then sold before even wearing it! I just made too many purhases........
