That's a badass. Really like the looks, but there is no way in hell I could wear it.

Whoa cool Dave !!! 8-) 8-)

Didn't actually realize this was a continuation of the Eco-Zilla family. Have been
wondering why they haven't made a new version. This looks like a really awesome
sequel, and one that belongs on your wrist at some point. :headbang: :clap:

Fantastic news ! Thank you sir.

Goddam ugly and the size makes it a boat anchor. Only thing missing is a safe dive indicator.

That's a pretty extreme case, but I love the strap.

Looks a bit BIG! If this is bigger than a "normal" Zilla I could not pull it off. Please post more pics up! It does look good but size matters! :grin:

I'll say it again; the end of the hands look like nipples. And, the watch. Is entirely too hard to read. Glad you like it.

I prefer my zilla far more. I don't care at all for that dial, the indicator or the depth guage labeling on the case. The strap does appear much improved.

Cool post to see the new set up , no doubt.

$750 is retail. Does your wetsuit have cuffs? ;)

Is it safe to shower with it. Seriously it could be a nice belt buckle that tells the time.

Something I'd like to try when actually diving, but I wish they'd use saphire crystal. My old Citizen dive watch has scratches and chips from getting bashed when diving and surfing.
