I am a huge Ocean7 fan as well but I have to go with the flow that I am let down by the LM-6. For me the difference is the lume. If it had C-3 I probably would of been all over it. I personally feel it is those white C-1 markers that give it the plain generic look. I do like the look of the GMT model and I think it is because the orange chapter ring breaks up the monotony.

I have the LM-1, LM-2, and LM-3. I love the LM-1 and LM-2 and I like the LM-3. Again it all revolves around the lume. That is my only issue with the LM-3. I had a G-1 PVD which was a very fine watch as well but was convinced to sell it a while back. Only issue with it again was the lume as it used C-1. I will not even consider a watch now if it uses C-1 lume unless it is really something special and at a fantastic price. I personally feel that C-1 cheapens a watch.

As for the LM-7 feeling that it is butt ugly, nothing wrong with voicing your opinion in a very polite manner I might add which shows a ton of class for not wanting to offend a fellow member's tastes as we all have different tastes. The LM-7, as well as the PloProf are very unique watches that are built to suit a specific group and not the overall WIS world. I will admit as well the first time I saw a PloProf I laughed and wondered why the hell anyone would want to wear one of those. I then got to strap one on my wrist once and see it live in person and it was a 180 turn after that. I have no desire to hunt down an original though as it is insane to pay what they want and get for them now.

Glad some comparison pics got posted of the LM-2 against the Sea Angler. I couldn't do that for you yet as I am still waiting for my 3T Sea Angler but hope it is very soon that they are shipped. I been waiting close to 2 months and am getting very antsy. Meanwhile, what a better time to post again a few Ocean7 shots!
