Not sure if everyone has seen this one from Manchester Watch Works already.

It's their limited edition diver named the P. Marcidus, or Blobfish. Which has a 40mm
stainless steel case, 200 meter water resistance, AR coated domed vintage style sapphire
crystal, 120 click unidirectional bezel with steel insert, and BGW9 lume pip, Ocean blue
sunburst dial with BGW9 Super-Luminova coated hands, and markers, 24 jewel Seiko NH35,
stainless steel bracelet, and more.

Here is a look guys...

With a name like that I thought I'd hate it. It seems pretty ok. If it were $300 I still wouldn't buy it, but I'd understand why someone else might want to.

In defense of the name he named it after his sons charitable website for saving animals going extinct. A portion of the sales go to the site.

Love the looks and it's an nice case -
Same as my MWW 62Mas homage. The blue is hot too, and date at 6 is the best date option imo. Pricing is good too at only $310

Forgot the story bejng the name. I don't like or dislike it but don't mind since it is not on the dial.

His son started a charity for the blobfish and this watch is meant to support that endeavor....i think his son is 11 or 12.

The watch takes its inspiration from the old Seiko SUS models

Whatever you think of the watch, this is an overall "cool dad thing" to do for a son!

pretty much this.

it's an ok, watch. the name is lame, but i get the story behind it. and since it's not on the dial, it's not that big of a deal.

From the thread title I thought I was going to say how stupid this watch is... but I actually like it.

Exact same case as his recent 62Mas homage. Nice watch I think.

Kinda reminds me of the Seiko SUS. I think I would actually like it better if the hands were like the SUS too.

Not something I'd buy but it looks really nicely made. Nice bezel and bracelet choice.
