 My Ocean7 G-1 arrived today, awesome watch!  First impressions, fit and finish are excellent, solid end link screwed link bracelet with divers' extension.  Solid feel bezel with very little play.  The reason I bought this over the Steinhart was because of the Plongeur design hands.  I love the way they look over the Steinhart's Mercedes hands.  Really, other than the hands and O7 dial it is a Steinhart Ocean 1 GMT as I have read they are made by the same contract manufacturer.  Lume is good, not Seiko Monster level, but what else is?
Although I don't think it is in the same league as Ken's MarcelloC, it also didn't have the same MSRP.  Plus, it was cheaper than the Steinhart by 40 bucks.  Knowing me, if I bought the Steinhart I would have been modding the hands and dial anyway so I figure I saved more than just the 40 bucks :D

I am very pleased with this watch.  Now, if I could just save up enough for the LM-2 chrono!

Cheers,
Griff
