That hard part is determining which color scheme is the worst of the bunch.

O.K. here it goes. :oops: Although this one isn’t your every day diver, and isn’t
trying to be. It kind of takes all of the cool traditional things we like about
divers, and basically magnifies them. :thumbsup: You have a bold take on the super
compressor case, and then bezel, and dial at the same time. It’s almost as
if you took a traditional diver, but were looking at it under a magnifying
glass.

I mean is it traditional? ..Not really, but the basis of the design is in a lot
of ways. If you like the look of dive watches, these take the style, along
with feel and just make it more prominent, and I guess wild. Which is at
least fun to see. :) Because the price isn’t much fun to be honest.

But I almost look at these like some unique experimental watch. One that
was discovered in the vaults of some iconic brand. Or came back in some
time machine from the future. It’s fun to see, and at least talk about.

So thanks so much for posting about it Steve !!!

Am I the only one that thinks it’s cool? What is the case size on this thing?
The crown is 15mm so the case has to be about 60mm

Between this and the muff diving joke he made in the Junghans thread, I feel like he’s revealing different sides of his personality to us.

Showed to my wife.
She had a spontaneous orgasm.

Combination of the coffee cup/ducky plate, short pants, and of course, The GAMECHANGER


I am changing my name to Mark and getting the watch

This thing was introduced in 2016.... I would buy one for 400 bucks for a bit of fun but not a penny more.

Bezel is 48mm but that case is bigger than the bezel. I would have also guessed more than 19mm thick.

He he, too funny guys !!

Seriously, I get that the watch is out there. I just kind of see that they wanted to
basically make all the details, and things we like about watches more noticeable.
Or more bold I guess. It's crazy, but crazy cool to see. ..Hey, and it looks easy to
read too ! :)
