First of all, a big thank you to Marc at LongIslandWatch.com.  OK, now on to the mini-review.

This watch is pretty big (43mm) and wears even bigger, IMO.  I think it's the minimalist dial that makes it look bigger than it is (my IWI Marine Diver is the same way).  However, due to the titanium construction, it is very light and comfortable on the wrist.

Overall fit and finish seem to be very good.  I would say on par with the two Tissots that I have.  The crown has a very definite release point when you push/pull it and nary a wobble when you have it pulled out to set the time.

The lume seems to be pretty good (although I haven't done a comparison yet to my Seikos) and the dial is really cool in person.  Due to the texturing of the black main dial, it appears to have a gunmetal or anthracite color in certain lighting.  This is nicely offset by the gloss black seconds dial.

The strap is quite nice, nicer than I expected, actually.  The strap that I got is a leather (perhaps buffalo as it feels/looks much like a buffalo IWI strap that I had) strap in black with white accent stitching.  It is LONG!  I had it set on the second to last hole, and my wrists aren't tiny.  It comes on a S/S deployant that is finished so that it matches the case nicely.  However, I'm not a big fan of the style of the deployant so I am switching to a black/white stitched gator strap that I have with a butterfly deployant.

The case back is nearly all mineral crystal giving you plenty of viewing area of the movement.  The movement is nicely finished and actually lots of fun to look at.

So, there it is.  My initial impressions, I'll have to wait and see how I feel about it long term, but the future looks bright!
