      I received a black and red bezel Accutron VX200 from Shnoop as well.  I think the review was great.  One thing not mentioned in the review was the crown.  The way the oversized crown is raised up between the crown protectors really makes it easy to wind and set.  I'm not sure if this is a great idea if you plan on banging this watch up but it definately feels good. 

     I do take issue with the lume.  My lume is disappointing.  My watch does sit in the box next to a Breitling SOS and Seiko Sawtooth so that may be an unfair standard.  The Accutron lume does not even shine as bright as the blue lume on a couple of Citizens I own.  Maybe I'm spoiled but I want everything to light up like my Monster.

     My bezel is slightly off.  It's not a big deal but if I had paid anything close to full price I would of made an issue of it.  I just kinda half click till it's just right.

    I really do enjoy the watch alot.  It feels nice to wear and is rather 'dressy' for a diver.  I guess because of all the polishing.  I think the bracelet makes this particular watch, it's a work of art.
