, but in the interest of keeping this thread complete...
N16530G at a price I couldn't pass up (fifty bucks and change!)...
delivered on Tuesday 25 Sept. WooHOO! 
"Buy no additional watches when you already have one imcoming". 
But at less than half the lowest price I could find on a BNiB example, this really was just Too Good To Pass Up. 
 Nautica N16530G Incoming.

Is that your newest? Or a new model from NAUTICA? It's EXTREMELY  (n/t)
|

It's a current model. One that I am considering. To me, it's the very essence of the
brand, distilled.
Not sure how much longer I will be able to resist.

Re: Not sure how much longer I will be able to resist. And, of course, the answer turned out to be "About 24 hours".

Good looking Corum style. Too bad their latest are so over the top now.  (n/t)
|

Well, this IS a current model, if not the very latest. Mind you... ..while the styling strikes me as quite traditional and restrained, at 52mm some would consider it "over the top" on size alone.

Seen this model....LOVE IT....you know I love those corum homages.... There is one thing I wish though...Nautica has many boxed sets
available....that contain extra straps and strap changin tools...I wish
they had this model in one of those gift sets, but alas they do
not....cant have everything...I guess....good one!!!

Re: I wish they had this model in one of those gift sets.. Well. Strap tools would be redundant for me.
Extra straps would be cool , provided they were long enough for an ankle-wristed fellow.
Honestly, I prefer the half-price aspect of the used example I found.
It does include the original box and papers, mind you... |
Caveman001 | 27 | September 21, 2012 05:28PM |

Yes, this is certainly one I would not mind wearing, with a bracelet but still, the blue strap's not bad either! (n/t)

Strap looks to be one of those "molded fabric" affairs... |

Cool watch you getting there for next to nothing. (n/t)
|
jackrobinson | 27 | September 21, 2012 05:46PM |
 Maybe not quite "next to nothing".
But...
Yeah, it's pretty amazing how much watch "fifty bucks and change" can get you nowadays.

Very cool, congrats! Even if >>> you have me worried about this place descending into anarchy, with all this flagrant flouting of your own rules.

Re: ..you have me worried about this place descending into anarchy.. Anarchy gets a bad rap.
Remember our long PM discussion on politics?
For those not privy, my official political affiliation is not Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, Green, etc. No! I am a Rational Anarchist.

Re: Remember our long PM discussion on politics? OK, but I suspect you knew I meant the term in its simpler incarnation,
implying lawlessness as described at the beginning of this WikiP
account.
[en.wikipedia.org] But go right ahead and get all heady on me, ya smart @$$! ;D  |

Re: ..its simpler incarnation, implying lawlessness.. Yeah, I did. Exercising my latent penchant for obfuscation a bit there, I confess.

Cool, nice and colourful. I do like those 'sailcloth' straps. Just out of interest what's the case/lug size?
|
JY | 28 | September 21, 2012 08:11PM |
|
Re: Just out of interest what's the case/lug size? Should work even for you: case is 52mm w/o crown.
Though granted the strap is a bit skinny at 22mm.

You lucky b**** What a great watch, for truly not much money! Where is the icon for "envy" when you look for it?

The Nautica N16530G Chronograph has arrived. WooHOO! But seeing is believing! There it was on the doorstep, when I arrived home.
Partly this is due merely to the condition of the watch, mind. The seller was one of those conservative types who said "VGC, but a few scuffs and scratches from normal wear". In fact, the darned thing is pretty much perfect!
There are a few flaws, but I had to look long and hard (with a loupe!)
to find them. Pin me down, and I'd give a TZ 98% rating...
Now it is sizable, at 49.4mm w/o crown and a whopping 54.5mm with crown. But where'd this 52mm measurement come from? Danged if I know!

I like the nautical markers.

on your new arrival! Looking forward to the ENJOY! (n/t)
|
EdH | 8 | September 24, 2012 09:36PM |
Congrats! Early deliveries are a nice surprise.
Maybe they took a rough average of the sizes with and without the crown?
|
DJM | 9 | September 24, 2012 09:59PM |
|
hey, I thought of the average first! (n/t)

If it isn't posted, it never happened. (n/t)
|
DJM | 10 | September 25, 2012 05:55AM |
|
And you may well be right. 52mm is a good average!

Congrats Ricky, never mind that you didn't 'quite' get a mm per dollar..! (n/t)

Super duper purchase, Ricky! (n/t)

Congratulations - wear it in happiness and wellbeing. And when you come down to reviewing, don't forget to explain each and every marker flag.
