Re: ..better when there is blood circulating to it..
And it feels a lot better, too!

Ayup, "It won't make your hand fall off" is a powerful recommendation for a watch strap!

So that one's stainless? Never noticed.
Looks great on that nylon strap BTW. Really pleased you like it. Take good care of her, she was my first.

Yup, per the "STAINLESS STEEL CASE & BACK" verbiage.
I didn't remember that, either . And was surprised, given there is some staining along the edges of the lugs that did not clean up readily.

But I tested the case with a diamond scribe in an inconspicuous spot, and it's definitely solid steel. My best guess is that the case itself is 400-series SS, while the case back (and probably the bracelet) is 300-series.

Here's a thought, if you really want the all silver look, could you switch the bezel and crown with the Arm? (n/t)

I considered that. Indeed, that was my original thought in last week's post, ye'll recall. But..
.."Case" customarily includes the bezel and, to a lesser extent the crown. So the ITC bezel is almost certainly solid SS, and probably the crown, too.

But dollars to donuts the Armitron bezel is base metal.  Not sure about the crown.. I just spent a couple of minutes examining it with me 14X loupe, and judging by the machining and the wear pattern, it might be SS. But I'm thinkin' leave well enough alone..

Re: But I'm thinkin' leave well enough alone.
Sounds like a good idea, especially if you're warming to the two-tone, as it seems you are given the new strap with gold-tone buckle. Looks good!
