Great to hear YOU enjoyed QLD Peter🦘 Watch head is attractive & I luv the numerals! The price point and ‘status’ is elevated by the Selita, that’s fine… Big date matching the numerals or No date would help. The bracelet could achieve that look but be more slinky, light and chain-like It’s nice, but I haven’t bonded with it

Maybe on a dress watch it could work well , and the bracelet is nah !!! Some interesting elements but us watch nerds, like certain things , toolish designs especially on a diver . Its not easy doing something different , so they deserve a round of applause for trying, at least . Great vid as always pete .

That lumed date at 4 o clock is brilliant The blue dial design is amazing (I looked on the website) but I don't really care for the 12/3/6/9 markers. I admit its subjective. I would put it on a rubber strap like you did and call it good I don't like the bracelet and honestly think a bracelet on a diver tool watch is a lil silly heh.

The design of the lume on the date window to match the rest of the dial is a beautiful touch and something I've never seen before. Totally disagree about the comments on the date window because you're limited to what you can do with the size of the numerals by the size of the dial. I think it's executed perfectly. I like the art deco styling and it's great to see a unique take on a classic design and it deserves to do well for that reason alone. It's getting harder and harder to find something that's a little bit different that doesn't look out of place and this watch hits the bullseye in that respect. That said it's not my thing and not something I would buy, especially at that price where there is a lot of competition and for me it's overpriced for a microbrand - something we're seeing a lot more of unfortunately - but you could do a lot worse for the money.

Hey Peter, you « reluctantly had to say no » … you were gutted that you had to say no. But, after watching the entire review, I don’t recall you indicating what made you change your mind? (Or did I misunderstand your statement?) It looks amazing and that micro adjustment seems practical although the gaps look weird BUT I’d live with that if it makes the watch more comfortable on the wrist. But I also agree, I would wear the strap much more. Thanks for sharing my friend 😊👍🏼

Sometimes the omission of a date window can look really clean and attractive on a watch because of the visual symmetry. I think that's the illusion they were going for here. They wanted the date window, but visual symmetry was clearly prioritized over utility.
