Ronin, this looks ok. First time I've seen this brand. Is that an AP style bracelet? Can't seem to make it out....How's the lume?
I picked it for a heck of a deal on the bay since I think most of the other models of this brand are German ish of origin? I cant say ENOUGH GREAT things about this watch. HUGE heft. its 18mm Deep. SOLID. really solid.316 steel case. Sapphire crystal. keeps amazingly accurate time. (Auto, caliber 6300 ?? ) super smooth movement.  The band, well. actually I bought a Diesel watch from across the big pond just on a chance it would fit this beast. (26mm straps) and it fits PERFECTLY, The watch on this band weighs a whopping 280 grams. the head alone weighs 170 grams.
As for the Lume? one of the coolest I have ever seen.  The entire face which is black, when exposed to the briefest of lights, turns this crazy, military green. like an old instrument panel?
