I may be missing something in the specs but can someone tell me why this watch is so expensive? http://oceanictime.blogspot.com/2012/05/oceanarc-series-one-update.html http://www.oceanarc.co.uk/series-one-divers-watch |

I should add - the watch is not to my taste but that is horses for courses. I do find it objectionable though calling a watch "iconic" before you have even started selling it... |

The case and parts(except the movement) are mostly likely made in Hong-Kong as the full mounting/assembling... Why it's so expensive? Because it's English and exclusive...And they need money.   |

I think it's an ugly watch. Overkill on some of the elements. reminds me of what the Sheriff and I used to kid about |

I don't know who checked off on this for final production. I think it needs more changes aesthetically. |

Come on guys. That is the coolest watch any of you have ever seen and they increased the depth via consultation! Which just makes it that much cooler. *not* |

If they change the color scheme, the hands, dial markers, the dial, and leave the case as is at 42mm, then we might have something to consider. |

Well, even the case has nothing really special and the bezel grip is certainly good when you put loctite on your gloves before manipulation. All in all, remake the watch 100% and maybe you get something. I wonder what this guy was designing before  |

Ha! As someone said in Oceanic Time's FB page - How many chicken had to donate their feet to make that dial? No chicken dance for this watch!!! |

It seems like they tried so hard to make this watch look ugly... At least you should give them credit for that.. |
