 The moVas train has finally pulled into the station. It was a long train ride, but I'm glad that I stayed on. This was a great learning experience for me. Sean taught me a lot about the entire watch making process and think that was one of his goals.

I know there haven't been many photos circulated of these divers so I decided to post some here. Mine we the first 2 to receive the new crown guards and dials. The Avante Garde diver actually has black lume that turned out awesome. I was really skeptical when Sean said he was changing the crown guard because that was the thing about the watch that I really loved. Needless to say, he knew what he was doing.

I'm extremely happy with both of these 2 watches. The Avant Garde is like nothing I have, and quickly became my favorite of the pair. Although once I made a strap swap, the Pro diver is a very awesome looking watch itself. These watches took a long time to be completed, and their not perfect. But I'm completely satisfied with them. Especially knowing that I had a had in the way each one looked.

 











After the swap switch. The stock strap is great just a little to snug for my 7.5 inch wrist.

This is the Professional diver after the same amount of time.



I don't think I can stress how happy I am with these 2 without sounding too much like a fanboy, but I'm really pleasantly surprised by how much I like these. The rubber strap is awesome and the moVas dual deployant might be the best one I've own. I can really tell a lot of thought went into the design of this.

I have to get to work. Enjoy the pics. Oh. The reason I say it was a surprise is because I didn't get a tracking number for the package. Sean said I had been so patient in waiting for them, that I didn't need a tracking number. So I had no idea when the package would get to my house. Sean thought that was kind of funny.
