For under a grand it's far nicer in person than expected. I love the lume color in person and the rubber strap is super soft. I have a leather inbound today as well. It wears very well, not too high on the wrist and comfortable for sure. 22mm lugs so lots of strap choices. Got great texture on the dial and bezel too which is hard to see in pics. Some quick pics.

I like it. It's a little gimicky with the rubber wrapped crown and the tumor on the 9 o'clock side of the case, but the dial and bezel look well done.

Did it come with the backpack? If so, that is an interesting and kind of unique watch accessory.

yeah the AD sent it. They were great to work with. Paid $30 more than grey market prices for AD issued fresh off the truck.

This is much better than the JR watches you were considering.

I was just thinking that it looks like a tactical version of a JR. The case looks nearly identical.

Yup. Same style case. Hopefully the lugs are a normal width.

That looks really nice, and I like the backpack.

I actually dig that bezel. It is different, which is a good thing here.

Very cool watch, also prefer it to the JR models.

Post by **toxicavenger** » Thu Feb 23, 2017 9:24 am

Their specs suck. It should mention the ones that matter, like L2L and thickness.

It would look great on fake sailcloth, that's for sure.

Looks good.

How many screwdrivers did the strap require?
