It has finally arrived. My Halios Laguna (grey bezel). I have attached a few Q&D shots. I have been waiting on this one for 2 months..ever since they sold out in the first round..but I got in touch with Jason at Halios and he informed me that they would be available in November....so I faithfully watched their website and low and behold it was November 30, 2011....I almost didn't want to go work that day so I could secure its purchase. And here she is...arrived last night and I almost missed the postman...phew!! I love everything about this watch..the fit, finish and quality is top notch. Its super comfortable, and comes neatly packaged in a wooden box with strap change tools..and the best part...a genuine Isofrane black rubber strap....thats a $100 strap on its own. Both signed crowns are extremely tight and smooth with no play what so ever. And the sapphire crystal is soooooo clear you don't even know its there. The shallow dial makes readings easy at great angles too. The polished sword minute hand sweeps across the dial so beautifully. I can't tell you how happy I am with the Laguna. I had pre-ordered a Heroic 18 leather strap with screw-in submarine buckle and it looks awesome on the Laguna...and that buckle is crazy cool. I decided with the grey bezel because I found it a little dressier, and I already have black face dials in my collection...so grey was the obvious choice...loving it!!

Very nice. Sharp watch. My only complaint is the numerous posts. You can use a hosting service and embed your photos in one post making it much more palatable imho. http://www.timetechtalk.com/forum5/1825.html |
