It's different and kind of interesting. Kind of cold and machiney. I'm not sold on the bezel insert but maybe it's just not my preference.

That half end link meeting up with the strap part looks like a brain fart. Might need to see real life pics to understand.

there's a lot to like, but there's something about that blue dot on the bezel that.. i dunno, just feels off to me. i know it matches the second hand, but maybe it's the size or the shape or some combo of both.

Pretty cool except for the bezel insert.

There's definitely a futuristic feel with the design guys, and I think that's maybe where the coldness
might be coming from. But there's also a vintage dive feel beneath it all which brings in the warmth
I think. ;) :thumbsup: So it's kind of the best of both worlds, where you have the sleek new vibe, but also
the traditional feel underneath everything.

It's just fun to see, as well as hear what you guys thought. :)

Thanks so so much for giving your thoughts !!!
