Congrats! Love my CD-1. Apart from the 2 straps mine came with, I have since bought 4 more, and I'm still going...damn this watch habit. I'll post up a pic of my CD-1 straps to give you some inspiration.

IMO, the CD-2 belongs on a canvas or Iso

Of everything I have tried, I like my white CD-1 on Iso the best.

I've never taken the Isofrane off my CD-2. It's perfect.

Good choice Don. The CD1 is more aesthetically pleasing than the CD2.

As a Seal fan, I think you'd like the way the CD-2 wears.

My thoughts on the CD2 are around the DWC scrolls. Matt lent me one a while ago and I wanted to like it. I saw Ed's CD1 when I was in Seattle, it just seemed to work better.

:shrug: I like how the 2 sits higher off the wrist than the 1, much like the Seal. I think most people prefer the way the 1 hugs the wrist.

Well, I was supposed to have the damn watch today but between FedEx and Canada Customs that didn't happen. I have to drive out to the airport again tomorrow to pick it up.

great analysis! I prefer the way that the CD-2 looks on the wrist. When I get my DLC CD-1, I'll take a different look though.

the CD1 sits better on my wrist but the CD2 looks great and tough as nails.
