In Europe and can get the watch you want for cheaper than retail for you. PM if interested. Returning back home 2nd week August.

lovely shots... but DW watches are still anathema as far as i'm concerned. overpriced cheap Chinese quartz has no place in any self-respecting and well-informed watch lover's collection.

Yup overpriced and overhyped. There was an article on it.

My first diver watch, haha think loveless in this forum as it has no lume, Quartz, no sunburst dial and no dai gor trending it hahaha

Bought it for 398 thereabout when I was earning much lesser had to think very long and hard. One of the first watch I set eye on when I was a newbie heheh keep it for sentimental value and probably can't sell due to chipped bezel hahaha and lost all the box and documentation

Interesting idea for those who like to hasten the process for the bronze ocean

Ship direct around 600 I think

when I first started on watches, I was impressed by the different coloured tritium gas light tubes... until I saw it irl and realize:

- its lume, though constant, is relatively weak compared to lumibrite/superluminova when they are fully charged.
- the lume has a half life of 12 years (meaning it'll be half as bright in 12 years' time) and is dead in 25 years.
- you can't change the lume tubes.

At first glance, the hour hand damn fat....but may get use to it after awhile. For current models, I prefer the look of the Ocean Vintage Military Mk2.5 and Ocean 1 Vintage Red - MK2.

7/10 ish can fap. Minus some points cos of the numeral indices..abit off to me.

And bro if I can share, either Steinhart QC got abit issues or I damn suay. I bought 2 diff watches at Gnomon and had to get them to let me choose through a few pc before getting an acceptable one. For BOTH watches.

Common issue faced: loose bezel (moves up and down), indices not aligned, gmt hand alignment.

Edit: could be I am an anal buyer also
