Just back from a week trip to South Korea and the Orca Dive was on my desk when I got to the office this morning. So far my only grouse is the set screws which are visible behind the bracelet on the case - perhaps a solid end link could have hidden them but they do add to the "engineered" feel of the watch I suppose and with 3 additional straps supplied to choose they can be hidden any time.

Some quick photos.

Congrats on the new Orca. Nice one, but do agree on the lug-"issue"

So...What do you say? Is this Orca growing on you? Screws are no trouble on the look for me: Kind of industrial all the way those watches.
Doesn't UTS has the same arrangement?

Very nice watch, not a big fan of non-integrated bracelets, but that's just me.

The overall design and look is top notch

After wearing the Orca throughout the weekend I have to say I love it. Has a very chunky and solid feel to it. I was also a little concerned regarding the security of the inner watch movement in the separate case however there is absolutely no sign of any looseness between the two at all.

Another good thing is the divers ratchet extension which is very smooth. I have the bracelet set to be a snug fit in the cool of the air conditioning out here and can easily slip the bracelet a notch when outside to counteract "expansion due to heat" - me that is....not the watch

Yup that would indeed be pretty cool....but since I am still working on an explanation for buying the watch (for she who must be obeyed) I will leave purchasing an Iso for another day oh my.gif

I know what you mean! During the winter here there's a big temperature difference between indoor and outdoor...
