I got this one yesterday. You are familiar with this watch, but maybe not this color combination. It is very subtle, very classy. The same 300M diver as the green "Hulk", but in a very classic blue dial, surrounded by black.

These are not my pictures, but you get the idea:

This is one diver that looks great with a suit. I'm struggling uploading a photo from my phone (which is all i have right now). I'll put some of my own shots later.

I am loving this watch.

Excellent choice!

I was looking at this one too during my recent RADO Diver search, but chose the "green Hulk" version ;)

Big Congrats, Eric. That's a great watch from a powerful brand. I like it a lot and am only holding back because I find it a little too small but that really is a great addition to any collection.

Enjoy it in good health for a long time.
