I am a super happy WIS as I just picked up my Q from the US Post Office this morning. It is my first BH and won't be the last I can promise you that! I am super impressed by and happy with... well everything... from the  watch itself to the packaging and CS provided by Chris!

The watch design is awesome, a unique combo of colors, dial/indices/hands and case/crown design... Not a Rolex or Omega Wannabe for sure. Let me put it this way, it does not look like anything in my collection and that is a big plus in my book.

The lume indices pop right off the gorgeous blue dial (and I have no regret on picking blue, it is perfect for this watchhand6.gif) and so do the hands. I like that the minute hand is orange on this diver! All the hands are clearly visible against the blue dial. I also like how the date window is framed in silver and has two some lume spots (divided indice), one on each side. All these little details add to a lot for me and explain why I pciked this watch for my first Quartz Diver. I absolutely love the case design, the angular bezel and crown at 2. The embedded lume triangle at 12 is coolcool10.gif

I picked the leather strap version as I am a big fan of straps vs. bracelet in general and mostly I had not seen a full pic of the Q on bracelet... so I may end up ordering one if they are available later. The leather strap is awesome, thick with a nice texture to it, but very supple and comfy, not stiff at all which I like vs the ones from my Benarus (which I llove as well) that is stiffer and had to get used to at first. The strap is comfortable right out of the box and looks great with white stitching that recalls the hour and second hands white color. The watch also came with rubber strap but have not tried it on yet. i was just in a rush to wear the watch. The Buckle on this strap is awesome, wide and substantial, and engarved underneath.

So I took lots of pics this morning with my"held together by tape" super duper point & shoot Cannon. I took a lot even of the box and all because I want those of you who haven't yet pulled the trigger to see what you get from pick up time... Truly a great deal! AWESOME service, communication, product, packaging an shipping. Doesn't get much better than this my fellow WISyourock.gif

Have a wonderful week-end! and a Bigthankyou.gif to Chris @ BH.

Brice

Brice...congrats buddy!!!

Your new Bali Ha'i is a very sweet looking piece...agree with you...love that fantastic blue dial and the contrasting white and orange hands.  Just a killer looking combo.  Thumbsup3.gif

Man...the packaging these come in looks phenomenal...cool orange pelican case...love it...there is no doubt that the watches ordered from Bali Ha'i are going to arrive safely.

Those Bali Ha'i pieces really do have their own unique signature...I really like the design and solid build quality that comes through.

...when you get some time to take a few more pics...subtlelaugh.gif  ;) (you win the award for time it takes to scroll through your photos...I think I started a half hour ago!!!...:P

Again...Congrats and Enjoy this new one!!!!

Man....I can't beleive it. I just ordered the exact watch (no bracelet) but with an Orange rubber strap (in addition to the leather and black rubber) to go with the orange hands. Can't wait to get it. Chris was great and even gave me a $50 credit for not getting the bracelet. It was in the mail immediately after I finished the order.

thankyou.gif all very much for the kind words! I am
super thrilled, wearing it again today and cannot help but stare at it every so and so. I can't believe how perfect this watch is for me in all aspects: case size and shape, bezel/dial proportions, dial and hands design & colors, strap material/feel/size, caseback, uniqueness...
I long hesitated b/w the three models and am glad I picked blue but it is that great I could buy another one in MOP or Carbon;) All look great!
Additional first impressions I missed in my opening post are
- the flat crystal is most welcome and allows great legibility at all angles and no matter the lighting!
- the drilled thru legs I first found on my Monster are
another great feature of this beauty!
- finally the lume was amazing last night and rivals the best in my collections like my Seikos.
The Q is truly an awesome watch, lots of bang for the buck IMO.
Chris is indeed top notch not only in it's designs but in CS!hand6.gifhand6.gif
I need to save to afford one of his other Auto models! I am hooked on BH watches and this Q being a Quartz makes the perfect Grab & Go watch!
Oscar, sorry for all the pics! The watch just hypnotized me, I blame Chris for all the server place he is making me use!;)

  Great pics and nice catch Brice!  The blue dial seems amazing! hearteyes.gif It will do a great catch & go watch for sure and I suspect that you will grab it often! It's unique and that's what I like about that brand... Enjoy and wear it it good health!
