And was just told by my wife that she would by me the vortex, or any other in the list, for my birthday, so pretty happy with that I gave some serious thought to the Vortex when it first came out, but the lug to lug length was just too long for my 6.75" wrist. My cutoff point is 50mm, and I think the Vortex has a 54 or 55mm lug to lug. I also didn't like the fact that it doesn't have a date feature. I used to own a Bernhardt Sea Shark, and while I liked the look of the watch, I NEEDED the date wheel. However, if you have the wrist for it and you don't need the date feature, it's an excellent choice. Last edited on Fri Feb 4th, 2011 06:43 pm by clouser |

So puled the trigger on a Dievas Vortex late last night, and some zulus to match, from Anders. So pretty happy camper here, just to bad there is allways the looong waiting. But thank you all for your opinions, much appreciated! Rolf

The Vortex is a good choice...it's a great field,dive,pilot watch that can be worn easily under a sleeve...but than what WIS does?....it is the only 1 that is made outside of HK as well and for the price a great deal on a Fricker cased/German made watch ... it is the most versatile of the bunch which I either own or have owned. ...the Sharkmaster would have been the 1 for sheer sport/dive...it is one of the best homages to date imho and 1 of the finest examples coming out of HK last year...if you are into vintage Omega than the Sharkmaster will scratch the itch without breaking the bank.

In the end it just had to be the vortex , by far the most bang for the buck, and looove the design. But that itch you are talking about, it still needs scratching, hehe, so just can`t keep ignoring the sharkmaster. But as the Vortex was a gift from the CO-home base, I guess she will use this for what it´s worth, and the comments like "How can you possibly need even more watches ...?!!" will probably reach new hights. So no thing as a free lunch. So the sharkmaster will have to just appear in a highly covert operation, and then sticking to "what? That old thing ...No, had that one from before we meet I think ..." And then sticking to that story NO MATTER WHAT  Will highly likely sink like a rock, as she can spot my caniving from a mile away, hehe. But can allways fall back on the fact that by buying me this one, she`s just fascilitating my addiction, so it´s acctually her fault  Rolf
