I saw this watch right around the holidays and HAD to have it.  I waited a little for it to drop in price and jumped on it.

Love the style.  Its kind of a military / diver homage mix, and it just WORKS well together.  The crown guard and die cut bi-level dial give it a military look, yet the dive bezel, rubber strap and HUGE size overall remind me of a dive tool.  Very nice.

Don't be fooled by the 53mm spec.... PFFFFT, thats just the bezel diameter!! this thing is HUGE!!  61mm from strap lug end to end, and the firmly attached polyurethane strap flairs outward a lot giving it ~70mm++ (!!) from absolute end to end.  Bigger then my Russian Diver, WAY bigger than my SubAqua NOMA-III, and it completely DWARFS my Android transocean-52.  Despite its size, its very flat on the wrist and super light weight, so its actually more comfortable than any of those watches.

I think you need at least a 60mm wide and very flat wrist to pull this one off.  Its a very flat case profile, so if you have a round circular wrist shape it may sit funny.

But its a very unique, distinctive design.  You can't really say its a homage to or copy of anything in particular... it really does its own thing.

I would give it 5 stars except for 2 things...
The Crown guard metal bridge-piece rattles a little bit.  A solid firmly affixed design would have been better, like the Android transocean-52 crown protector.

Mine has a faint hazy residue on the back side of the crystal.  Its not obvious until I wear it outside and the sunlight catches it at an odd-angle.
