i have the deep blue..and although  i love it, i have some  nags about it (that i live with cause its my beater). 

-the whole thing is brushed...EXCEPT for the lug screw and the helium valve, they are polished. (the valve doesnt bother me, but the shiny lug screw does) ..i could fix the screw with a green scotch guard scrubbie...but i dont feel like taking it apart. 

- my day and date wheel are not the same color white..not even close...and that really...REALLY bugs me.  the day wheel is more gray/yellow and my date wheel is bright white. 

-in 2 places the lume isnt applied to the dial cleanly, it overflows onto the marker lines (this is nit-picking, because you cant see it unless you are staring at it 3 inches from your face...but it is a concern). 

that being said....id still buy the deep blue again, over an artego......i know im in the minority, but the artego doesnt speak to me in any way, at all.  i got the deep blue new, direct from them, when they were sub 230$.  for that price i dont complain about it.
