Sears is sold out if the black one but has the black/gold though no longer on sale.
If I don't like mine or it's too big, I'll happily put it it up FS here instead of returning it to the store.

Re: New Prospex divers to be released in 2016...
It really is a full size watch, vintage done right in my book
I'm happy though but it's bigger than SKX, Shogun, Sumo...
Lume is nice, came out a little whiter in this pic but it's bright.
Ok, one more pic in case anyone is still on the fence about the blue one

Re: New Prospex divers to be released in 2016...
I don't think it wears bigger than the Sumo or Shogun. Wears like the Tsunami, as I think was mentioned earlier. I will rock it on BOR once end links are available.
Re: New Prospex divers to be released in 2016...
No it wears fine, I have no discomfort, but shogun in particular felt smaller and definitely lighter due to Ti. Shogun on NATO I almost forgot I had a watch on. Now I want to see Coke and BLNR models. Still not a 100% on the gold one.
Re: New Prospex divers to be released in 2016...
It wears better than the Tsunami because it doesn't have the thick case back that makes the Tsunami 300m WR.

My B/G lands Friday. Not sure it was the correct call but blue will follow shortly. Anyone considering swapping out the crystal for sapphire?

Brice I really don't think you'll find it too big. The LTL is short. I had the same concern, but it wears really well.Jeep99dad wrote:Nope never and this one wears larger.hoppyjr wrote:Too big? Surely you've owned 6309 before?Jeep99dad wrote:Here u go...Henryj wrote:I just wanna track down a 777.

I've actually come to like hardlex. I guess once I put a nasty scratch in one that'll change, and at that point I'd probably change it to sapphire.mellonb1 wrote:My B/G lands Friday.

Re: New Prospex divers to be released in 2016...
Somewhat, yes. It's less than 1mm wider and a couple mms longer LTL, but yet to me they wear pretty much the same. There are some comparison pics in this review:CoachH wrote:I'm confused.

Re: New Prospex divers to be released in 2016...
Slightly. One of the reviews linked earlier compared them. It is maybe 1 mm wider, and the lugs are slightly longer to accommodate the drilled holes, making it curve toward the wrist a little less.CoachH wrote:I'm confused.

I think I shipped a watch one time in a hello kitty box with hello kitty socks as packaging.blowfish89 wrote:Sounds like what I used to do.

I am yet to buy bubblewrap for the first time - there's just so much lying around from all the watches I keep on buying.

I hope they were "used" socks.
