My Ocean7 G-1 arrived today, awesome watch!  First impressions, fit and finish are excellent, solid end link screwed link bracelet with divers' extension.  Solid feel bezel with very little play.  The reason I bought this over the Steinhart was because of the Plongeur design hands.  I love the way they look over the Steinhart's Mercedes hands.  Really, other than the hands and O7 dial it is a Steinhart Ocean 1 GMT as I have read they are made by the same contract manufacturer.  Lume is good, not Seiko Monster level, but what else is?
Although I don't think it is in the same league as Ken's MarcelloC, it also didn't have the same MSRP.  Plus, it was cheaper than the Steinhart by 40 bucks.  Knowing me, if I bought the Steinhart I would have been modding the hands and dial anyway so I figure I saved more than just the 40 bucks :D

I am very pleased with this watch.  Now, if I could just save up enough for the LM-2 chrono!

Cheers,
Griff

Why?.................because she'll ask you where you got the watch? :D:D:D  Simply tell her it's he Mother's Day present, but since it is too big for her, you will be happy to wear it for her!! (yeah...that'll work!)

Nice watch, buddy...I'm gonna have to get one....but first, I need to have a fire sale!

LOL!!  Oscar, I have a story concocted, but knowing my wife she won't buy a word of it!

Mother's Day, oh yeah!  I'll try that one heheheheheheh!!! 

She wants a new cell phone (pink/purple!), maybe I'll sneak it through when I give her the phone  toon1.gif

Nice grab, Griff. I've got the same thing incoming from OnkelC and hope it arrives from Bonn next week. Which bezel did you get? I got the Pepsi bezel and bought the watch as a hardcore stand in for my other Pepsi bezel.

Thanks Guys!
Pax, I bought the black bezel, but I just ordered an extra black/orange from Ocean 7.  I like the watch the way it is, but I am thinking the black/orange bezel will really pop.

Cheers,
Griff
