^ Nice, how much adjustment is available on that rubber? Looks like 3 holes only?
Okay so after over a month of letting my HydroConquest just do its thing, today I re-synced it with atomic time. It was ~1 minute ahead so the +4 seconds a day from the last time I was checking over a month ago has definitely settled.
I'm pleased with this timekeeping, I've also not looked at any other watches that might tickle my interest, think we have a winner here

Which strap is that?
It is cut to fit and then you have three holes one side, four on the other of the clasp for fine adjustment....so seven in all.
Omega OEM Divers Rubber Strap and Seamaster Professional Divers Deployment Clasp.

Bit shocked yesterday evening. Number 2 son is off for the weekend on a Duke of Edinburgh expedition thing and needed a watch. I offered him a few alternatives and he stated that he had to have one with numbers due to struggling to tell the time on a watch with only markers for hours!
Man of Honour
How old is number 2 son? Can you imagine a generation from now or maybe two that young people will mostly all be like that?!
He's 15. I was waxing lyrical about the differences between automatic and quartz when he blew me away by saying that the only consideration was numbers! I suppose I should be thankful that he didn't ask for a digital watch... 
That said, he did like my Omega although I suggested it was perhaps not the most appropriate watch for him to wear "in the field".

15 means there's still hope
When I was that age my dad had mostly big Rotary pieces and I had no interest in watches.

Our eldest, 8, has to properly count the markers if they don't have numbers on. I'm like, dude, it's easy, they go up from 1-12! I suppose I'm so used to doing it I forget.
No kids have watches nowadays though. I find it sad that it's possible that telling the time will soon become something kids can't do without a digital display!

Lol +2!
Still love my Seiko, I never had to adjust it, only forced to when day light saving kicks in every 6 months.
I track it against the clock against the train daily and it is accurate from the day I adjust the time to the day before day light saving.

You've not posted your Seiko here yet!
Man of Honour
Actually I quite like that!
