These are a bit underrated, IMHO. That watch looks good.

The B35 and 36 look great. The rest are terrible.

I like the 39 also but I hate those square looking ones. They must sell the hell out of them because they have been producing them for a long time.

I also like the B39 phantom, in dusk mode, below. I agree that the others look a bit like a Bell & Ross got porked by that rolling orange droid from the last Star Wars.

Mike I had one of their other Phantoms and I really liked it. I just couldn't tell the time on it. So I gave it to a friend of mine.

I think the combat line looks pretty good though I've actually never owned one. The bronze ones were my favorite.

I briefly had one of those titanium m models and it was a nice enough watch in all regards just too big for me. But one thing I was surprised about was for a company supposedly known for their Lume how poor it was on my iteration. Let me rephrase that I expected lume that was better than a typical Seiko skx. And it was on initial brightness. But it faded too quickly and after a couple of hours it was really nonexistent. It could have been a one-off case and I don't have the watch anymore to worry about it.
