    Canvas for me ... green rubber is cool but IMO the canvas suits the watch better

    The rubber looks ok but the velcro strap suits the watch better. If only the MOD suddenly found a few billion pounds and payed off all the crap they have ordered then brought one of these each for us instead of the shite watches they do buy.

    If I had to choose would be canvas but really not that keen on either

    I love this model. Haven't been able to find in the US yet. Anyone know when? The dealers I've asked seemed clueless

    As a military man and having looked at both types i must say that ceramic doesn't look as good as the original which looks much better. I know most of you guys think the ceramic is the one to go for but it just looks plasticy and made in Taiwan - cue the outrage .....

    I love the military ceramic with green rubber, it feels like real military watch. I don't think I'll buy it, but I like the novelty thing !
