RGM deserves alot of credit for reviving quality watchmaking in the U.S.
In the past, names like Gruen,Hamilton,Elgin,Waltham and Bulova were the pride of
most wearers between the 1860's-1950's.

Unfortunately,with the Quartz Revolution of 1968-1980. Most of those brands,have either been absorbed through giant Swiss Distribution Groups like Swatch or have
faded into obscurity.

Bit of a departure for RGM, no? I'll bet it is beautiful in the flesh so to say...

Is that Lancaster Pa I see on the Dial?  Cool.  Lancaster is about a 2.5 hour drive from me.  Cool to see a watch made here in PA.  Scott

Nice watch, but clearly a homage to the fifty fathoms.  Why not buy the Yao Stingray and spend the extra $3K on a few others?  I guess the answer is if you have the money, the price doesn't matter.

Looks good, though.  I'd wear it on those 2500 foot dives.

Nice watch. But for $3,500 it's an overpriced IMO.
