I just ordered the "New" version of the Ocean7 LM-1 in Black PVD case. PVD bracelet, black face, white/orange/white hands. I'm not a big PVD kinda guy, but I love the look of this watch in all PVD. As soon as the watch shows up I will post some pictures. they should be better this time due to forum members giving me advise on taking pictures.
The Movement is the SW200...from what I have read it is a redone ETA 2428. Is this correct?

I think, well i am quite sure thats the Sellita movement, which is basically a copy of the 2824 eta,

Apparently its supposed to be quite good.

Congrats! Yes, I loved the PVD version at the first eye when I checked them site a while ago. And like you, I'm not a PVD guy usualy... Yes the SW200 is the remake of the 2824-2 from ETA: With on more jewel(26 jewels). I got it in my Oris diver and I'm satisfied. I've been reading som excellent rate results about it...hand6.gif

The new LM1 looks really good, it has some very nice features.  I like in particular what they have done with the bezel.  I have the SW-200 in my orange Debaufre Triton and it is a fantastic timekeeper.

I have a modified version of this movement, SW20 A, in my Nauticfish One Thousand and it is the most accurate watch in my collection. Very smooth.

As for the new Ocean 7, people need to be careful because the lug-to-lug distance is 56.5mm, making this watch exceptionally long. It may extend beyond the ends of many people's wrists. My recommedation is to measure your wrist first. My wrist is just 6.5 inches, but it's flat on top and can accommodate almost any watch.
