This popped up on my Facebook....anyone see this one?

I really like the look of the black three hander, but have just seen...50m water resistance! My watches barely get wet, but having such a low WR on a diver makes me feel as if I'm buying into style over substance.
Anyone got one of these?
Looks nice (albeit too dressy for me) apart from the inclusion of the date ..
Errm - it's not a diver!Quote:

Does the bezel not turn?! If so, that's just daft (other than from a commercial 'We want to make more models but don't want you to benefit from the functionality of other designs despite looking the same' perspective)
It's not like it has a chronograph complication which might make a bit of sense with the fixed bezel.
Swing and big miss fun my perspective.
The review blog does describe it as:Quote:

OK, sorry, FTFY.Quote:

Ah...fixed bezel...I'm completely out then!Quote:

As do I. Particularly the black dialled ones. Was expecting the price to put a dampener on my enthusiasm but they’re sub 500.Quote:

I went through that same thought process…. But as others have said, it’s a diver that isn’t really a diver and that lack of identity/purpose swung me away from it.Quote:

I quite like the pointy hands, it’s reminiscent of a Seamaster/Planet Ocean.Quote:

I really like them but I think the fixed bezel would annoy me and it seems a lot of money for what it is.
Was hoping to see one on SC with a bit of a discount from new, but nothing yet.
