Well after months of the ocean7 diatribe, and seeing them for sale on other forums for 250.00 less than they paid, I firmly stirred the pot on the ocean7 board. I asked for a honest opinion of the watch. average time, build quality, etc. Its a long thread. I just got tired of all the members kissing Mitches sphincter instead of some good criticism and input to improve the damn thing!

Sean, I found it interesting that Mitch indicated that the production version of the LM-1 will be substantially different - sounded like more than just distingushing it from the Limited Edition (hopefully moving the lug holes for one). I do think the dialogue was better for the LM-2 and LM-3; and am looking forward to those (I did not get the LM-1). His G series are basically quick productions of existing watch cases and movements, with the O7 dial/hands added (skeletonized in the G-2), so not a lot could be done with those. Steve btw, I went back and looked, but could'nt find your thread anywhere...:shock: oops, found your post - will be interesting to see the responses...

really all i wanted from that post was real answers to questions that have been asked repeatedly and then side stepped. everybody had input on that watch. but when the final product came out it was lacking and no one would say anything about it.we went through this with the 3t orsa. everyone including me gave honest opinions without wondering if it was going to hurt someones feelings. when it comes to my wallet, screw feelings, there out the door and i"m in full alert you have my utmost attention mode.When people don't think I'm paying attention, thats fine because thats when I learn the most. I read people like a book from being in the Academy and airforce. I like getting in somebodies 3ft safe zone. It intimidates people, there eyes turn away. If its to the left, there nervous. to the right there lying. I learned alot by reading every thread about the lm-1.

Actually, the LM-1 looks strikingly like Ernie Platts' PRS Dreadnought and the LM-2 (with the exception of the hands) almost identical to the Glycine Luganare! coyote2.gif Just read "Brad" and "Xtrooper" comment.............what a bunch of defensive assholes. When people get that defensive.........something must be wrong!

I wasn't trying to start anything! just get some user opinions! It maybe like the Orsa case but the Orsa uses screwed lugs put in the right place. I have no fear of those ever breaking off! Every Orsa I have rocks. never a issue. There customer service need attention, but looks like there heading in a better direction. The ocean, on the other hand hasn't sold out on the 1st run. If they would have said the truth and offered a work around on fitting a bracelet, I may have bought one. But hey. what do I know. I wear an Oceanaut.

I read the replies. If they had read the post and not inferred there ego's into it, it would have gone over better. But I did get the ones I asked not to respond, so psycology does work. They said I questioned there integrity. PLEASE! the post doesn't do that. It just brings the main jerks to the surface.

Psychology is a wonderful thing... Interesting that those who were 'offended' chose to respond in kind - and not really answer the driving question in your post. :shock: Was glad to see some at least attempted to do so.

Well, you saw the main question, general build quality, reliability. Did I mess up the post? Was it not well written or could have something been added?

No, I think it targeted the right words to the right (or wrong?) people. The ones that took offense never really posted any review of substance - the ones that pointed to their previous posts usually had pretty detailed reviews. Though I didn't see anyone try to rack it up against an equivalent diver in the same price range, as you had suggested. Interesting side note, a thread in the Diver Forum, which started out bad-mouthing the Orsa watch, was eventually closed by the moderator who stated he wouldnt stand for that kind of thread - at the same time taking a couple pot shots at Orsa (Berg) himself. Then a newcomer placed a post that questioned the moderator's motive/tactic of closing the original thread and not letting people respond - this thread was promptly deleted. Guess they cant take constructive criticism too well...
