I love this watch, it's what you would call an entry level swiss dive watch. In my opinion it's a well built watch that deserves more respect in the wis community.
It is one of those watches you will remember when you see one. At around 500$ and not that common to find its a great buy. This is my second one, my first one was sold due to emergency reasons and I was always finding myself looking for another. I have owned pretty much all watches in the sub 1,500$ range. Omega seamaster bond quartz new version which had quality control issue from the factory, tag aqua graph diver which had a stripped crown tube after 3 months, most if not all seiko divers including prospex diver like the 007 tuna to titanium samurais. Citizens, oris, you name it I have basically owned it. I would estimate I have owned around 300-500 watches in my 15 years of collecting and I'm only 27 years old. This watch stands out big time in my book. I have also owned reps such as breitlings, Pam's, Rolex and higher end rep Rolex reps. Ebel just to name a few. If you are in the market for a nice gen Swiss diver do not hesitate to buy one of these. I was lucky and found this one under 500$ in like new condition. I generally pick out watches that will suit me in my line of work. I am a horticulturist (landscaper) and I wear my watches for what they are worth. I take care of them but they are worn outside in the heat and cold, rain, in the ocean, in murky water you name it they go through it. This watch after 2 weeks still looks new and I plan on keeping it in my permanent collection.
Here are some quick and dirty pics.
