Well, they surprised me with this beauty. (I read Jim inst fond of this brand aw NIXON in Australia, like the size and the look - lefty. n case and dial, never had this color before, but it is striking in the sun. The band is very comfortable too.

I really like that watch. I looked at the all black bracelet version a few weeks back.

That joker was heavy as heck, surprised the hell out of me. Enjoy yours. __________________ Die For My Family, Live For The Moment.

Yes, I've been looking to get the All black bracelet version myself; just waiting to catch it on sale somewhere. Love the Nixon. __________________

Check out some skate board shops in your area. You may even luck up and find some marked down. Maybe not this particular model, but you may find some. I found my wife one a while back that was marked down more than half in one. __________________ Die For My Family, Live For The Moment.

Ooh, you got the all-brown one, nice! I have to admit to being tempted by that one myself. It's ionic plated, innit? __________________ I remain, :-Peter, aka :-Dusty :-Chalk Dusty Chalk View Public Profile Send a private message to Dusty Chalk Find all posts by Dusty Chalk Add Dusty Chalk to Your Contacts #17 Today, 10:39 AM Join Date: Oct 2009 Location: San Jose, CA Posts: 293 Real Name: Nephty

Don't know about the plating. It is a very deep, almost chocolate brown with some hints of deep rust (sounds like I'm wine tasting). I heard this style maybe be discontinued. __________________

The 51-30 is nicest out of all the Nixon styles I've seen. People who own them on this forum rave about 'em too! Congratulations on that beautiful watch!!

Nixon makes some great timepieces. I especially like the 51-30 tide editions.

Congrats __________________

Big fan of Nixon, have bought a few but not a 51-30 yet. My current favorite is the All Black Megatron. Loving the brown version, haven't seen this particular one before.

Congrats and thanks for sharing. ao View Public Profile Send a private message to ao Send email to ao Find all posts by ao Add ao to Your Contacts #21 Today, 11:24 AM Join Date: Mar 2008 Location: On the Puget Sound, WA Posts: 11,978 Real Name: Charlie

Cool watch, congrats. Hope it keeps working for you, Nixons are not known for exceptional reliability. They are basically "fashion" watches for the action sports crowd. __________________

your paying for the name. very trendy and overpriced. i bought one and the quality just wasnt there. it was on ebay real quick.

I'm really diggin' the brown/bronze finish on the dial & Bezel.... looks SAWEEET and plays well with the black strap.

I think they're a bit more than that -- I agree they're targeted at the skating and diving crowd, mostly, but they really do have a whole range -- from the almost Swatch-like Time Teller P, to the "fashion" Banks and Player watches, but the 51-30 is a serious sports watch, intended to be taken on dives and surfing or whatever you're into, for real. __________________ I remain, :-Peter, aka :-Dusty :-Chalk Dusty Chalk View Public Profile Send a private message to Dusty Chalk Find all posts by Dusty Chalk Add Dusty Chalk to Your Contacts #34 Today, 04:20 PM
