Hey everyone,
I'm obviously a good customer and fan of the brand, so they trust me with their prototypes. With that said and because of that, I'm mainly gonna start with some pictures I took today of the blue one without doing much of a real review. I wouldn't want anyone to feel I'm overhyping it like I've seen recently with a parade of 40mm sub homage reviews, creating unrealistic expectations with only praises. That's not me.
This one will be loved by some of us and hated by many more. I won't mind if you hate it and decide to express why. I'm excited to share this regardless.
Kinda crazy how I only used to come to watchuseek to buy, sell and trade preowned watches until I discovered the forums, especially this Dive Watches. Fast forward to now having the honor to show this with the world from a non-blogger, non-reviewer perspective who's admittedly easy to please and amuse, according to my wife.
The finish is superb and it's a few notches above the Maranez Layan and Benarus Moray I had but I'm no expert. It just looks more expensive. I don't think it can be called cushion case because it's quite boxy so maybe it's a hybrid ? No clue what label to put on it and don't think it'll matter.
I went with blue because it contrasted well with what I was wearing earlier but I still don't know which I prefer between the two. I'll post the black dial ASAP, on comment line.
These are my own straps because the OEM ones aren't long enough for me.
Don't expect powerful lume but here it is:
With my favorite photo bomber of all time, on my 8.3in wrist
Personal note, it has a lot of presence so unless you like 44-45mm pieces, I suggest not getting this one. While being super comfortable on the wrist, it wears true to its .44mm size, IMO. Maybe closer to 45mm due the case design but the skinny or skeleton lugs help it look not as big.
Feel free to ask me anything and I'll reply ASAP. This is a lot of fun for me so you won't bother me one bit with any questions.
Huge thank you to Maria and Carlos for this opportunity and all this fun.
Thanks for your time,
Luis
