I kind of like what Ocean 7 is offering and the fact that they are a start up company that seems to really want to please its customers and potential customers by producing a unique dive watch. I don't own one but I'm certainly interested. Ocean 7 could arguably become a haven for those dissatisfied with that "other" dive watch company.
Hell, they might even hire JV to come in nights to sweep the floors and clean the toilets for $6.00 per hour.
Seriously though, Ocean 7 looks like a potential winner in the dive watch category and I wish them success.
I think that their "design by committee" approach results in watches that look strikingly similar to high end models that some would like to have. I am not impressed with thier "bang for the buck" pricing for a start-up, and I definitely would not want to risk that kind of money on the SW200 movement until they get the bugs worked out of it and it becomes a solid & accepted engine.
Our very own Steve loves his and vouches for their quality, but I believe his has an ETA 2824-2 in it.
That said, at $6 per hour, you are giving to much credence to J Vargas' ability to perform.......unless you are expecting him to write fictitious advertising copy.....his pathological need to lie may give him a "step up" there.
