Vario Empire Review by The Time Bum
http://www.thetimebum.com/2019/03/vario-empire.html " Whether by design or not, the bluing of the hands and the circular finish of the hour track provide a sort of gambler’s reward: a wonderful outcome, but not every time you look at the watch. The light must hit it just right for both to be highlighted and brought out in full effect. In the end, this makes for a dial that never gets tired, and even without the right light, remains beautiful. " ~ Mike Razak

Ballistic Nylon Strap Review by Yeoman
"Installation is very easy. All you need to do is to put the spring bars on the watch and run the strap underneath as shown below. Being made with thick nylon, most watches will not slide off when you hold it vertically by the buckle. The Seiko Turtle for example stays on the strap when held vertically." - Yeoman https://yeomanseiko.com/2018/01/24/ballistic-nylon-zulu-strap-by-vario/
