It looks fine in the recent pics, if you like it, get it. Don't let the Debbie Downers here determine your decision. If the criteria for every dive watch was that it had to spend a lot of time in the water almost none would be sold.
To be fair, he specifically solicited opinions. Not being Debbie Downers—just giving honest opinions in reply to his solicitation. I for one would never offer an unsolicited critique on something like this, but if someone asks for my input, I’m assuming they want the real thing and aren’t just fishing for validation.
“it’s supposed to be ridiculous” is probably the best assessment of that watch. If ridiculousness is what you like, then rock it! Again, no one else’s opinion should matter. Your wrist.

Point well taken—and I appreciate your concern for civility, which I totally share.
Guess I’d just say—this is a watch discussion forum, and if someone posts a query related to a specific watch, the watch itself is probably going to get discussed. Hopefully the OP didn’t take offense to anything anyone said. I certainly didn’t detect (or mean to project) any malice myself. But thread drift is going to happen.
If a few different opinions from total strangers on the internet about a watch you like deters you from buying a watch, that makes me wonder how much you really liked it to begin with (and why), and also whether a web forum is a healthy place for you to be spending your time. 😀 But I sense that the OP has been here for a bit and is cool with it all. He knows it’s all love on the OF.
