The one thing that always bothered me about these is that bezel. Me, I'd take it off and sand it to a point where the edges of the numbers and marks were nice and sharp- then polish. After that, fill them in with 2 different lumes. Then it would look right to me. :) Loving that strap though!

Forgot to mention that the date mag looks awesome on that!

thinkbach i get what you mean, but this being a diver's watch... it is a design feature to let the divers with thick rubber gloves turn the bezel...

In thailand, these watches are going for 800-850 usd from the retail store.

the price started on January 10 thailand launch at 18810 baht ( 600 usd), but went way up, it is going to go higher in the future..
