I was quite interested in seeing these after the early images released on Instagram, however after seeing that render it’s not for me. There are too many Nautilus references (case shape and hands) which is a watch I really dislike.
The Treasure Seeker. Very different to every Scurfa that's gone before. Miyota auto in them.

Meh! Too busy with the patterned dial and case scalloped all over the place.
I'd rather have a Vostok 110
Wasn’t there a Tudor diver a few years back that looked very similar? I think it’s a design I’d have to see ‘in the metal’ tbh

I like Scurfa’s but not for me this one, too fussy I think.
I like they’re ‘toolish’ looks normally and have had a Bell Diver in the past and am considering an MS21 when released but will give this a miss.
Good luck to the company though
I support Scurfa's effort to diversify into dressier divers, and I think they will always get the essentials of a dive watch right. And there is a lot that is good about this watch, including what looks to be a very nice case (including really nice caseback), good finishing and reasonable dimensions/fit. The movement choice is sensible too. However, what is not for me is the patterned dial. It's certainly a point of difference in this crowded market, but I think it's a step too far and makes the watch fussy.
Anyone gone for the M.S.21 Diver One Limited Edition today? Released 6pm.

Looks great as a daily / holiday watch...none left though :(
Yes at 6.02 pm, reminiscent of Eddies shop opening.

Yep, I went for one and managed to place an order in time. I've had the regular titanium with a blue dial for a while and love it. I found myself missing a date window from time to time and I like the extra minute markers on the bezel of the LE so thought I'd go for it.
Snap! Order went through at 6.01 so I hope I get an early number! - never had a Scurfa before so looking forward to its arrival, looks far enough away from a Submariner to not be an obvious homage imho - and I haven’t had a blue dialled watch since I sold an SMP about 20 years ago! - since my daily CWC SBS arrived I’ve realised I enjoy owning a few quartz watches without the fuss of setting them every tine you want to wear something different

I was thinking the same about tonight's LE. I got the email, created a calendar alert, then remembered I'd bought and quickly sold several Diver One variants.
Looks ace on screen, works well, feels good on the wrist, but even as a simple grab-and-go there was just something that made me eventually go, 'Nah!'.
I have a Ti one, no date. Epic watch for the money, better than anything from Russia by a country mile
There is already one on eBay for £400, the seller has not even received it yet and is using pictures directly from the Scurfa website......!

I've not waited for a release like this since the original Smiths Everest and it's unusual for me to be hovering over the keyboard when a watch becomes available. However having bought a new Scurfa D1 Gloss Blue a few months ago and being very impressed, I knew I had to get my hands on the MS21 with the fully indexed insert and white hands. Can't wait for mine to turn up on Monday
Pics will follow.
How did you guys know it was Scurfa?
Trying to figure out if I'm being stupid and missing something obvious.
I got the first email, nothing else yet

Some lucky buyers got theirs yesterday according to Paul’s IG page. They look great.
Quick glance and it reminds me very much of the Tudor Hydronaut.

Snap - just had the same thing. Must be sending them in batches

Anyone got it yet?
Ones already made its way to eBay

Either you got that yesterday or the date’s wrong!!

That looks really nice, but then I’m a sucker for a blue diver!
I had the MS18 (black dial) on release and while it was a nice watch I can’t fathom why he makes them a limited edition. They’re hardly special when in comparison to the rest of line up. I sold mine quite quickly, great specs granted but I found it quite boring. Plus the LE ones miss out on the great rubber strap he sells on the standard Diver Ones which are one of the most comfortable rubber straps I’ve worn. Worth buying for any watch.
The relatively constant issue of LEs is a little bit of fiddling round the edges, but the general concept of the watch is excellent.
He seems to want to cover all the bases LE by LE, varying date and no date, hand colour, dial colour, Ti and SS, fully indexed or partially indexed bezels.
I am wearing mine today (not an LE but out of stock and archived so may as well be), it is Ti, Black, white hands, no date and individual indices to 15 only. The only thing I would change is a fully indexed bezel (which makes sense coupled to the fact that the bezel is 120-click).
I agree about the rubber, it is very good, but best of all in this regard is the use of proper shoulderless springbars into the drilled lugs. Immensely secure.

Think it's a bit small for me but I'll try it on the rubber just to be sure, don't have my spring bar tool with me so might be a few days. Hard watch to get a decent picture of.
If it's still too small on the rubber you're welcome to it if you want @Mj2k
Hmm, I’m still awaiting mine (some sort of dhl hold-up) but that pic worries me a bit - with my 7 3/4 inch wrists most 40mm watches look a bit small, however I find the CWC divers - which also wear small - very comfy, legible and practical. I’m trying to wean myself off hockey puck sized watches tbh but it’s amazing how differently similar sized watches can wear. I would have thought it would wear smaller on the rubber as it’s closer to the wrist though

I think it being closer to the wrist without two NATO loops underneath might work a bit better, make it wear flatter.
I'm not into NATO straps anyway so it was always destined for rubber but I don't have my spring bar tool with me here.
