Well put - I agree entirely. For a Fricker cased diver, its at a good price point. Ocean7 really elevated their prices with every new model, and its a little annoying to me how they charge extra for a bracelet which should be standard. Still, very nice watches though. I really like my LM-1.

In terms of profit margins, frickers is charging subtainally a lot more than their chinese counterparts. im really thinkin of getting one myself, just tryign to get a deal of another grial i had my eyes on for a while.
