 I think overall it looks ok, a 7/10 for scoring. Case looks just great but I wonder where this is made....? I guess this is an ETA 2824-2 inside? It's got some similarities to the Crux line as the bezel and dial work show. Neo's right about his input, too. To me, this is like a cross between an Artego and a Crux.

The beveling/chamfering of the date window is a little crude and looks even clearly beaten by much cheaper Seikos' date windows.

I like the hands a lot, though...or maybe because I have a weakness for plongeurs. The crown guard is also distinctive with its sharp angles, like the propeller flang of a sub. I'm just guessing this is a 45x16 with 24 lugs and buckle end also at 24.

Thanks for this Chris.
