 Picked this one up from the 3T sales area. I had been interested in these months ago but had let it go as I seem to focus on autos. I do love dive watches, though and thought this was a cool package. Then, as if it were meant to be, MadBrdr had one for sale for what I thought was a reasonable price.

So here it it... I have to say I am quite happy with the watch. It seems to be a real tool diver, very solid and business like, but still , in my opinion, a looker. It has all the calling cards of a great diver, a solid 316L case, 500m water resistance, sapphire cystal and a long life battery plus St. Moritz's unique warranty program which will extend the warranty to 6 years in toto.

So very sweet indeed. Blows the Invicta garbage I bought in the same price range out of the water!! Great presence at 44.4mm X 14.67mm. And it has a usable date magnifier. The lume is astounding and the rubber strap smells of vanilla...which is kind of weird since it permeates my olfactory... Yan has informed me of a bracelet and I may look into getting one to change things up a bit.

Here are a few pics. Strangley enough, my wife wanted to give it a whirl and her's is the first pic.

Cheers,
