bullshite, pretty-boy watch. Put it out in the real elements of diving and it'll crater. This is for show.

That bezel is too thick for me. Throws the proportions off.

I'd take a khaki Hamilton x-wind before that one. The Hamilton isn't a diver but it has a leather band.

There seem to be some bad experiences with these on the watch forums.

What's the size of that bezel? Looks a little big for my tastes.

Uh, it's a Blancpain Fifty Fathoms homage, of course it doesn't have the quality of a $10k watch.

Too much bezel, not enough dial

Don't you wear a dive computer anyway? I'm not interested in bringing an expensive watch to depth that can only tell time when I can bring a computer that tells time for the same price and it can do 100 other things

I like a large dial to bezel proportion as well, but my current watch has that nearly maximized. I think if you're going to do a bezel the Fifty Fathoms type looks the best.

To be critical I think the bezel to dial face ratio is a little off. Bezel is a little too thick. In general I'm not a big fan of the bigger bezels on diver looking watches.
