 Yes, # 118/500 showed up on my desk this morning after leaving it's home in Velho, Portugal Monday evening.This is a little smaller than expected but still a good presence IMO. Here are the specs; There are a ton of review's done on this watch from the likes of; aBlogtoRead, Oceanic Time, Hodinkee, etc. I'll see if the watch can hold up to the reveiws So far I have to say the fit and finish looks great. The crown at 2 rotates the internal bezel (120 clicks). The crown at 4 operates smoothly as well. The only issue I had was changing the strap (original is siliconeblah.gif) The screws are sealed with Loctite 603. but after carefully using a soldering iron to liquify the Loctite the screws came out.  Other than that, I quite happy with this purchase! Here are the pics;       Here's the wrist shot...  And finally the first (of probably many  ) strap changes woohoo.gif... Thanks for looking, Bill |

Been lurking around the Prometheus site: I like the design with double crown and stamp-riveted alike bezel. Cool watch and something special! Congratshappy1.gif |

Boy, that is a great looking watch, especially on the olive Zulu. I had an internal bezel diver years ago. Very practical. |

Here's a pic of my old ocean diver , flipped it the same week i recieved it  There was nothing wrong with it , just not for me , i also had to use a soldering iron to change the strap which was a bit of a pain in the a$$  |

Very nice. Kind of reminds me of the old compressor models of old.  Last edited on Wed May 5th, 2010 09:26 pm by omegaman41 |

Nice one, Bill! I have liked that design since I saw it the first time. Prometheus seems to be fighting back after the design fiasko with their first watch. |

Thanks alot Guys for the responses!! Graham- you maybe right about Prometheus. As legend has it, the design for this watch was a result of a open contest. The designer Brian F Green blogged the whole process. Omegaman- good eye! the design is a tribute to the compressor cases of the 1960's. Jeff- actually the patent is still pending on the zulu's |
