My god that's horrible.
I can hear the omega execs: “I want to have the dial stand out when you’re 300yards away.”

Anybody have an idea how to buy it? Will be my dive watch
What's the story on this one? Is it a one piece case with carbon shroud, or is it just a special colored regular Tuna that's a little thinner?

I'll tell you that Legend diver maybe my pic of everything I've seen from Basel this year. I'm going to look into seeing if I can get one of those it's interesting how it looks like it's on a steel bracelet but it's actually a rubber strap that just looks like a steel bracelet.

This is kinda interesting. Although 36mm would have a very minimal male interest, I like the dial.

It's a cheap solar tuna, only it looks good because the bezel is not stupid thick.
SAD. BIGLY.

I guess that normal sized darth will never come. :banghead:

Looks great!
Especially with its notoriously long lugs

Cool, an Oris Rolex LV homage. The least they could do is not copy the ugly boring green ceramic insert.

This Source of Life LE is a homerun. Anyone have any info on how to order? Delivery window? I know someone here had their order placed.

This is nice.
Why can't the aquis come with normal lugs?

That would make it perfect. This one looks so nice I’d probably flip it in a month instead of a few days :grin:

Because it would ruin the look of the watch. I hate watches that can’t take a standard strap but if you redesigned the lugs on these it would change the whole case shape and now look like a lot of other watches. Plus I think the Aquis looks fantastic on the bracelet and the awesome rubber. No need for anything else.

I agree with Don. The bracelet and rubber both look great. If you have no taste, you can easily order an ugly custom leather strap for it.
