Interesting, but not my cup of tea. peace.gif

Unique case design...I'll give it that.

The LE JULES VERNE version, which would normally bring to mind a capable "deep diver" piece, has a water resistance rating of 100m and is done in 'marine bronze' which is likely brass given the current state of things in watch manufacturing (I would talk to the brand owner if you are serious about picking one up, but even then...). I can wash my hands in this watch due to the 100m WR rating and spritz it with salt water to develop corrosion (if brass) and patina (if bronze) on the case.

I'm not seeing the value here given the asking price???
