Thanks for the response, Hucky.
I have the black Sumo on today, and that is a beauty, too. Exceptionally nice design and very subtle. I have watches that cost considerably more, but they don't wear as comfortably as the SBDC001. In some cases, despite their big brands, the fit and finish of some of the more costly items is inferior to this little gem. I like this one a lot.
Despite the negatives some people have or feel towards the LM-7 - I absolutely love it. She's a heavy bugger though. I still prefer the black dial to the blue, but I know of many owners who swear that it is blue or nothing. I'm keeping the 58 click nero version :D. Some aspects of the watch that few have had a long term experience to enjoy, are that it is a consistent time keeper, feels bomb-proof, and it is certainly a good way to start a conversation! I think it is the most legible watch I have. It has a quiet movement which jump starts from dead immediately you pick it up and it has a power reserve of a good 40+ hours off the wrist. It is a simple and clean face design for daily use. It looks great on leather, rubber, SS and mesh, IMHO . It'll do me.
The Zeno is a dress watch. 30m WR is not exactly shower resistant, so it will remain a dry weather alternative. But, like the LM-7 - it has a case design that is interesting (to me) and I do enjoy wearing pieces that I know I won't see everybody else wearing. Heck - this is Australia - and watch nuts are very few and far between - I don't see ANYbody wearing watches that I buy... :? 
Mind you - just cos its wacky doesn't mean I will buy it !! But I find that some of the latest additions to my collection veer towards "interesting" as a description :shock: and it is part of the fun of collecting, for me.
Cheers all - and have a good day!!
