Cannot find a recent one so here goes. Love the see thru caseback view as much as the dial view. It is pretty much a perfect watch. The only reason I could think someone wouldn’t like it would be the size of 45 mm. Fortunate for me I’m a huge guy with 8+ inch wrists so it sort of disappears on me. This watch is the one that I would have no reservations about going to work, body surfing at the beach, scuba diving, or getting in a bar fight. It is truly rugged.

love the bezel of this watch, the only detail I would change is to put a solid caseback on it, the movement isnt finished to a high enough standard nor is mechanically interesting like a chronograph and 50% of its obscured by the rotor.

Feel they miss a trick by not having some sort of engraved caseback or medallion similar to Omega

They are really finely made timepieces. I'm not diving anymore, but if I were, I don't think I'd take this one. Not because it couldn't handle it, simply because I have better alternatives.

I actually kinda love the 'bubble' bezel, but the size makes it a pretty poor competitor to a Sub/300m. The smaller ones without the bubble bezel don't really do it for me.

Not sure if you are aware of the recent sizes: 38, 40, 42, and 45mm for the bubble bezel.

Ooh, neat, I didn't! Pretty spendy though!
