It is a well built watch and I enjoy mine a lot. (the IWC Aquatimer continues to be on my wish list)

Regarding the Prometheus brand specifically, I've got to agree with Phil on this one...they have a number of Prometheus specific designs in the lineup along with designs inspired by or homages to some legendary great ones from the big brands. This seems to be the case for the majority of micros.

To say "no imagination" and "just copies" seems to be a bit harsh, but to each his own. peace.gif

Please show me these specific designs that are truly unique only to Prometheus?...this new Poseidon is nothing more than a re-branded replica imho.


The Ocean Diver (available as a 3-hander, GMT, and the Chrono version) would be the first one that comes to mind as unique.

(maybe you are saying this is a catalog case, which would be unknown to me?)
