The original specs stated brush finish, but the OE is bead blasted. I really like the crown and the crown guard, which is perfect size, crown is easy to get to. I read reviews of concern, about the lugs riding up high and maybe should be bent down to wards the wrist. I like the lugs, the way they sit on the wrist, it gives the appearance of the OE standing tall. The bezel has some play in it, I would say 3-4mm in back play. I don't know if this normal, but it appears all current owners have the same experience with theirs. The bezel is 60 clicks.
The OE is smaller than the Sea Angler in diameter, but not in height. The OE rubber strap is awesome. Looks better in real life. The dial markers are perfect and the lettering is printed to perfect size to blend with black dial and hands. The hands are not to big like on the JSAR and are not to small like I noticed on the 07-08 NauticFish 1000 Prof, which I have owned both. I just cannot say enough of how good Fricker did on the white hands-orange second hand/lettering /dial markers and black dial it's simple but coordinates into awesome presence, to look at. The lume lights up great and I like it, but it's not Monster lume.
I have to say Poul Brix Poulsen owner of Korsbek Watch Company and Fricker did an outstanding job on Poul's first Diver.
The original rubber straps looks great, but I have it Ted Su Ammo and Kevlar straps.
