If you can get past the non transferable warranty then it is hard to beat
the Ocean7 LM6- for the money...

Another watch to consider would be the Tissot Seastar 1000...

I know you said Auto but the Swiss Army 500M Master Diver is a really
nice watch at $600....

Too big for me, but I like this one:

$599 and of all the folks using this case (Helson, Deep Blue, Sonic), this one seems to be the best put together AND with no silly logo :cheers:

Just now received a brand new Ocean7 LM-1... DAMN BEAST.

Wait a couple of days and I'm sure I'll flip it... :banghead:

Nice watch, though!

I would definately look into Jason's new offering the Halios Bluering. At 499.00 and a Swiss Movement in two of the models you can't go wrong.

Doesn't overhang my wrist. It is BIG, though... I like the interchangeable bezels and the lume is crazy. Also has a very pronounced curve to the crystal. I'll take some pics later for sure.

I wanted a big diver to use instead of my Jsar for certain things and this may fit the bill. We shall see. Going diving tomorrow night off the coast of CT. Gonna freeze my BLEEPs off.. :crybaby:

I've had all the O7's except for the ploprof and the LM2 and always said I was done with them, but I really liked the original LM1 (still their best watch, IMO) and wanted to try this one out.
