Just came in today; actually anodized rather than PVD I'm told. Swiss Unitas, sapphire back and crystal. Movement is unadorned save blued screws. Sandwich dial. If it's anything like my other marine divers, the lume is killer. 44mm.

to episaacs:)

if the case is aluminum which would be unusual, its anodized . if its stainless steel [ most likely] then its something else. where did you buy it and how much ? do you have a link to it ?
regards THOR :)

Can't really vouch for what Ron, the owner of the company told me :)
Anodized or no, it seems to be a very durable finish; moreso than PVD.

oops.

hopefully spelled it right this time. Ron Sabo is the owner; a verfy likeable and accomodating gentleman known by several on the rep sites. Give him a call. Has really VERY nice straps at quite good rates. I have no affiliation with Ron or IWI except that I like their work :)

He doesn't list prices on his site that I could find, how much did you pay for this piece?

I haven't personally tested it; Ron's watches though are built to last, highest quality pieces.
