 I picked this up at FEDEX last night. It came in a nice wood box with papers and such. I tried it on and couldn't get a comfortable fit with the excellent quality real rubber strap. It is a very nice strap, just a smidge off on the holes for me. So, I dropped a CF strap on it I have from Island Watch. It wears much nicer now. Deployant clasp and all.

The watch is thin for a diver. Case size is a comfy 42mm. Engraved case back, sapphire crystal, double gaskets on the screw-in crown, etc. The dial is very easy to read. Lume is very good. Bright to start and then fades to an acceptable glow throughout the night. I like the fact that they put a good chunk of lume on the sweep hand so you can see it going in the dark. Also, the dot hour hand it nice as it is easy to see it in the dark.

The bezel turns kinda hard and isn't as smooth as I would like. But, it is precise in its stops. I wavered back and forth as to whether to buy the Combat 07 model or this Diver version. At the moment, I'm not sure I made the right choice.
