 Hi everyone.  Just received this sweet Dievas Oceantimer in its hyper blue shade.  The dial is super-saturated blue, almost indigo.  The closest thing I've seen to it is the Electron Blue Pearl paint offered on the 1999-2000 Honda Civic Si.

I'm not going to get into the tech -- others here are much more qualified to do that.  But what I can tell is:

-The various finishes on the case sides, bezel, dial, and markings are as nice as anything I've seen.  The mirror-like case sides provide a nice contrast to the bezel, and the crimson minute hand and crisp white hour hand and markings simply blaze off the blue dial.

-The bracelet and case are super balanced and comfortable.  The case fits nicely under a shirt cuff, but still looks chunky and tough.

-The lume is good, but not quite in Seiko territory.

Pix are worth more than my words anyway.  Here are a few I took on a typical not-that-sunny Washington day.
