Dang. Gorgeous Steve. Is this Benthos 500 twin. Bother? Cousin? Seems close time and design wise. Nice.

Thanks for the comments guys.

Yep, arrived the other day. Haven't had time to take pics, but here's a quick one that I took when it arrived. Will take better ones this weekend.

The case shape is similar to the Benthos 500, but the bezel is a little more low proofile, with a slightly domed crystal.
