Been a great deal for the money and I'm pleased with the watch. 17.5mm thick and 43mm diameter...50mm from crown to crown as the Helium escape valve is manual.
Came in a beautifull wood-box with a silicone strap, steel brace and leather strap: The guy who had it took care of it and it seems like only the leather strap was gently used.
After a while,I poped it on the bracelet: It's the original signed L&B (Lindburgh&Benson)...A massive 24mm and 5 links wide who gives a chunky look at once!
Great marking on the dial who "dive" in the wath with lume dots on sides: Very precise marking on fifth of second!! Lume is ok: Maybe I'll take some shots later. By OK , I mean good but not LUMEZILLA.
The bezel(one way) is smooth with 60 clicks: Good on the grip.
Flat sapphire crystal( No AR apparently). Crowns are with good grip but could have been bigger: Still, there is a tool(Tube key) to use on the crowns who's coming with the watch. To make easy a full locking before diving: Nice!.
This watch feels strong and seems ready to take everything.
Minus: No lume dot on the bezel and too thin thread on the crown who can be a pain to screw on the case after time setting....To screw wrong the thread can be a problem because it will false it: Apparently it goes sometimes wrong in it due to a previous "incident". The thing is that it would not have happen if the thread was more massive...
Will get that fixed by my watch-maker I think.
Also I prefer screw-pins on the lugs and here the fabricant opted for usual pins...
Watch lost 5 seconds in 30 hours: I'm pleased.
I can not complain: I've made a great deal on this 1000 meter tool.
Thanks for watching guys!
