On loan from a generous viewer, we have the Mido Ocean Star Captain V Dive Watch up for review. At a price range between $525-$550 dollars there's a lot to like about this affordable mid-tier diver. With features like a double AR coated sapphire crystal, 200m of water resistance, and an excellent rubber strap with quick adjust dual button deployant clasp this watch punches well above its weight class.

I ordered this watch recently. It's my first automatic watch, and I wanted something quality that I could wear every day. I've been really pleased so far! My only complaint (albeit a minor one) is the strap and clasp combination. Both are really nice separately, but the way they come together is a little odd. The strap comes with perforations to make cutting/sizing easier. I like that. However, the springbar holes on the outer side of the strap are farther away from these perforations than they are on the inner side. This is because of how the micro adjust piece of the claps is designed, which is on the outer side of the clasp. This results in the watch wanting to twist towards the outside of the wrist if you take out equal number of sections from both sides of the strap (assuming it's slightly loose). I'd like to get another strap and try cutting more sections from the inside rather than the same number of sections from both sides to see if it resolves this minor annoyance, but the straps aren't cheap at $60. Anyway, I'm really pleased overall. Just wanted to share my experience.

[@thomasshaw4173]

I first discovered Mido while on a business trip to Europe. Great brand. I have the Commander II and the Ocean Star. Great man-size. watch.

[@WatchGeek]

Excellent and detailed review! I love the small thickness and it proves dive watches don't need to be as thick as they ate these days. If it was up to 40mm it would be perfect. I am currently doing a review of the Hamilton Khaki with the H10 and I have to admit I like the movement quite a bit!

[@JustBlueFish]

Thanks buddy I appreciate it. I'm looking forward to your Hamilton review, it's one of my favorite brands.

[@ivansilvas]

¡Amazing review! You really convinced me into buying one, and definitely it’s one of my favorite watches. I’m an avid Mido collector and it’s a really good brand, unfortunately it’s extremely underrated on USA. I was looking into a diver watch with a clean look that I can wear under every circumstance and I just found it. I bought mine with the stainless steel band and it’s really stunning, a lot of people asked me about the watch, its a very minimal and sleek looking watch, but at the same time its a really bold watch. The size is just fine, when I really love the watch, I don’t care about size. And i think 43mm-44mm its a really good watch size.

[@leestrada1]

Mido is awesome! A great brand, superb quality, great history and innovations. Nothing to envy Tudor but the marketing. In fact, Mido is the fourth chronometer producer, after Rolex, Omega and Breitling.

[@JustBlueFish]

Thanks for watching.

[@ivansilvas]

That’s true! It’s good to see a real Mido connoisseur!

[@ju2705s]

Best and precise review I ever saw. Thx a lot!

[@JustBlueFish]

Thanks!

[@robertfrank2513]

I'm glad someone finally reviewed this watch.I own the blue version on the oyster bracelet. I think there was a lot of thought put into the design of the watch. The oyster bracelet is very comfortable and the glide lock clasp enhances the functionality on the wrist, also the 80 hour power reserve is something one really begins to appreciate after a while.I agree it is a tad to large but the thinness of the case kind of mitigates it. As always I enjoy watching you extremely detailed nuanced reviews

[@JustBlueFish]

Thanks Robert. I was wondering, and I guess you confirmed, the version that comes on the metal bracelet also has a quick adjust clasp similar to what I had shown on this rubber strap version?

[@TONY2T]

great review, I bought this watch because I watched your review on Mido.

[@JustBlueFish]

Thanks for watching, I hope you enjoy your Mido.

[@tanotchindanonda3847]

I have the titanium version. Very good for swimming and running with the lighter weight. Yes, the bezel and the crown are a bit difficult to operate.

[@cristianmicu]

kudos to you for super good review of this

[@JohnnyParanoid]

Set the time to 6:00, on the 6th day of the week, on the 6th of the month. Metal.

[@JustBlueFish]

haha, thanks for watching.

[@davidrosenblum2178]

I have three Tissots and love them but, for a Swatch group diver, between this and the SeaStar I think I'd go with this.

[@RASKJAN]

Nice Video, thanks! I own it for 2,5 years now on a steel bracelet. Just ordered the rubber strap :)

[@EricSloferwatchreviews]

I LOVE MY MIDO

[@thirtysixtothirtynine9657]

Guy, us older people know Mido well from the past. They are really upping their game. BTW, if one has to mention nine times they are being honest, really means usually they are not honest.

[@8888hakka]

The best review of any watch I have ever had the pleasure to watch. Tell me where to find your review of the Mido Commander II Chronometer? I like this diver but the Chronometer keeps better time.

[@UncleRichard.]

I own a Longines Hydroconquest in Black, an Orient Mako II USA in Blue, a Seiko "Sea Urchin" in Black and now this Mido on bracelet in Black. The Mido replaces them all. For me, I need a Day and Date and I like 1 addition function, in this case the dive aspect. The Mido is larger than the others but I have an 8.25" wrist so it works. Along with the Orient it is the most accurate to the second and most legible. My other watches look nice and are comfortable however they all seem to have a cheapness to them that you only realize after a long period of wearing them. I don't believe in watches as "investments" in terms of profiting but the Mido seems to be the best mix of tool watch and "luxury" looking on the market and I will definitely get my money worth. If you are not a name brand junky, buy the Mido!!

[@JustBlueFish]

Thanks for watching and for the comment Ortiz. Of that list I have yet to see a Longines Hydroconquest but I've had people mention it to me a lot lately. I'd like to review one someday, and see how it compares to things I've already seen. But the Mido was a surprising little watch and I'm glad to have had it loaned to me and reviewed it.

[@UncleRichard.]

After wearing the Hydroconquest daily for a few years, yes. The bracelet scratches VERY easily. The sapphire also scratches easily, I even had a couple of impact specs on the sapphire. After two years it was running close to 2 minutes slow per day! It is a nice looking watch but I need a daily wear that won't let me down. We are doing a full renovation of our home doing all the work ourselves, the Mido has been on my wrist through everything with no scratches or imperfections anywhere. It is accurate and extremely legible, even in direct sun. Understated in appearance but it is a true winner for me.

[@giangvu7902]

To be perfectly honest, I like your review sir.

[@JustBlueFish]

Thanks

[@matthewspaltro7142]

Yes, great review. The dial looks understated yet very nice to look at and nice in general. Seems like a good enough buy for myself.

[@JustBlueFish]

Thanks for watching Matthew I appreciate it.

[@matthewspaltro7142]

No problem. Thanks for making the video.

[@SecondHourWatches]

Powerful charisma! Love the watch, good review

[@JustBlueFish]

Thanks for watching Peter.

[@Kydos37]

I agree with the dial appearing very large. However, you showed the watch at 6:15 which meant the minute hand overlapped one of the only other interruptions in the dial, the day/date window. Also, the blue version has a white day/date window so it probably breaks up the dial more than the black dial with the color-matched day/date window, plus the blue dial is slightly textured. I do think the left half of the dial is just a lot of space though. A different 9 o'clock marker might have helped but there's something to be said for symmetry too. Anyway, nice review!

[@mirecporubiak6743]

very nice review

[@surfside75]

If Mido releases the Ocean Star in a 38mm I will buy 2.

[@brunogarflo28]

Excellent very detailed!

[@JustBlueFish]

Thanks!

[@miliusrex11]

Nice watch and good review. Thanks

[@JustBlueFish]

Thanks Mike I appreciate it.

[@brunodn9702]

Like in USA, in Europe, Mido wasn't really known before 2 or 3 years ago. It was a brand well known in South America and Asia before. I own 2 Mido, a very basic Baroncelli, with its ETA 2824 and an Ocean Star, in blue version. The both are working fine. The Ocean Star is reaaly robust... With a very good movement. I fall on it, on the rocks of a rail track last summer and the watch got nothing except a little scratch on the steel bracelet... Which "scratched" me however, severely ! Hahaha ! Very good watch. I love it!

[@JustBlueFish]

Thanks for watching and commenting I appreciate it.

[@yomeritoo]

It is a fantastic review!! I will love this piece in 39 mm or 40 that will be the perfect watch

[@JustBlueFish]

Thanks for watching.

[@billchang1170]

Best diving watch for the price ! Must buy omg 😀 for the 600m model

[@JustBlueFish]

Thanks for watching Bill.

[@dmitrypantileenko2524]

Check for seiko spb143j1 or spb147j1 - a bit more expensive but way better in my opinion (sizing, finishing, etc.)

[@giannagiavelli5098]

the tissot i like more but its so thick

[@vincentpun123]

great review! have a nice day

[@JustBlueFish]

Thank you Vincent.

[@toughsolar7966]

Yeah the Mido has a flat dial and both the Rolex and Seiko have chapter ring/rehauts that are stepped and much more pronounced further reducing their apparent size. It really shows how each little detail affects your perception of size/scale. Thank Guy. Interesting. --Michael

[@JustBlueFish]

Thanks for watching Michael. The diameter of a watch never really tells the whole story when it comes to how it will present once you're holding it in person. On paper 42.5mm seems fairly average for a dive watch but to me this Mido has much more presence than similarly sized watches.

[@stevenroman9096]

A suggestion to MIDO… make it 39mm and your going to have a heck of sales!!! The problem is the size. Just a tip😉

[@cesarnegrete6898]

Firts of all I was wrong. Big sorry I was not quite sure getting myself one of this , but your review turns to be very very helpful to finally pull the trigger on this one. Big Home run! Thank you

[@jasonriccoboni5931]

Certina is another brand that uses the Powermatic 80 in their beautiful DS Action divers timepiece. Certina is part of The Swatch Group’s mid-level range of timepieces along with the Mido, Tissot , and Hamilton, so it makes sense that they are all using the same movement under different variations of names. If Mido has flown under the radar for you, quite possibly Certaina has as well, and if this is the case, I would take a look at the DS Action Diver Powermatic 80 by Certina...beautiful quality time piece with nice craftsmanship.

[@JustBlueFish]

I'm aware of Certina but it's largely an unknown brand to me. I'll look into that Diver you suggested and see what I think. Thanks Jason.

[@jasonriccoboni5931]

Ya, most individuals are very much more familiar with the mid-level watch brands that you mentioned; Tissot & Hamilton. I did not know anything bout Mido or Certina, but I hit the WUS forum asking or reccommendations on a mid-level Swiss divers style watch, and these were two brands that were mentioned over and over by members. If you happen to get your hands on one, I’d love to see a review.

[@cooper65]

Nice review, one of not many reviews of Mido watches. Personally I own the Mido Ocean Star titanium, and I do agree to most of your observations. I think that the case and dial are extremely well done, the legibility is great and overall it's a very comfortable watch to wear. Indeed, I would have prefer it in a 2-3 mm smaller case, but unfortunately watches are not shoes and you can't buy them in you favorites size ;). Anyway, its size still looks quite OK on my 6 and 3/4" wrist. Regarding the crown - I don't see any problem with it. For me it is very comfortable to operate it while still wearing the watch. On the other side it's not scratching my skin like some bolder crowns do. Actually I don't have to use it so much since the watch is very accurate - I get between zero to +3 seconds a day. About the bezel - I would also prefer a larger loomed triangle on the top, but otherwise I'm pleased with it. As a "desk diver" I would like to have the hours on the bezel and use it as a second time zone, but that's quite rare. Regarding the loom - I have no problem to see it all night long. It's not so strong but very legible for long hours. And one more thing - the day and date change is really amazing - it happens in a fraction of a second, just like in digital watches!

[@JustBlueFish]

Thanks for watching Erez and thanks for sharing your feedback. Any of my negatives on this watch are pretty minor, like the crown, and certainly not deal breakers. The only real issue I have with it is the size, and that's not really a problem with the watch - it's just an issue of personal preference and my leanings towards watches sized a bit smaller.

[@cooper65]

I agree. If I had the option to choose this model, between 39mm to 42mm, I would undoubtedly buy the 39.

[@seanm3226]

Erez Kuperman Thanks for the input. I’m looking to pick one up. Probably pre-owned. It would be my first titanium.

[@chrisauge6802]

Thanks for the review. This kind of reminds me of the Omega Planet Ocean with the color scheme & hour markers.

[@JustBlueFish]

Thanks Chris. Interesting observation on the comparison between this and the Omega. Having not spent a lot of time looking at the PO I wouldn't have made that connection but now that you mention it I do see the similarities.

[@WatchGeek]

chris auge haha I thought of that as well 👍

[@jakepowers1833]

I have this watch and I enjoy it very much. It is also very comfortable on the wrist. I am a diver and if I were to wear a watch instead of a dive computer, the overall size and dial are perfect. Underwater you want clear and maximum visibility. If you are just a desk diver, none of this is probably relevant for you.

[@javiermorantes]

Do the Seiko ssb033!!! You did the ssb031 a while back, which resembles a Speedmaster, but this one is more reminiscent of a Rolex Daytona! I think it is worth a look and I would love to see a review of that watch, there are none on youtube as good as yours are.

[@JustBlueFish]

Thanks for watching Javier. I don’t have access to a 033, but if I can find someone who has one to loan me I’d be happy to review it.

[@kylesalisbury6789]

My only hang up is an old linguistics thing. I am 1:59 into the video, the first of yours I have watched. You have said twice if I am being perfectly honest. I am watching on the assumption you'd be honest. So getting that qualified makes me feel anytime you are not qualifying it I should be suspicious... Old pet hang up of mine! I am going to go back to the video now. I will subscribe and give more of your videos a look. I love exploring watch content. Thx for making!

[@goldendawn7]

Good specs, more exclusive movement than every other assembled-in-Asia micro brands using off the shelf 28XX movements, and somehow manages to look less like a Sub knock off than most divers. At this price point its competing with Seikos and its going to come down to personal preference. The silicone spring, free sprung balance, and 3 and a half day power reserve all make a pretty compelling argument about why you should consider this watch if you're shopping in this price range.

[@JustBlueFish]

Thanks for watching and for the information, specifically about the movement. Was helpful.

[@halideproductions]

Video quality lookin super crisp

[@JustBlueFish]

Thanks

[@carbondragon]

Is there any way to know what accuracy standards the movement has and what kind of accuracy we would be likely to get? Caliber corner doesn't seem to be helpful in that regard, nor does the Mido website. One reviewer thought the movement was COSC, but it looks to me as though that is only certain models.

[@rumporridge1]

“Dive over to the table top” you forgot to say pun intended!!! Lol!!!

[@JustBlueFish]

I thought about that while I was editing the video. Missed opportunity!

[@1SaG]

Looks great ... definitely more "tool-y" and less shiny than the Tissot Seastar I've been looking at. But just like with the Tissot, the lower beat movement would put me off at this price. I'd take a sweeping seconds hand over 80 hours of power-reserve any day of the week.

[@thermionic1234567]

Having a somewhat-slick crown on a dive watch may actually be a very good idea. One would be much less likely to mess with it with wet hands...

[@saulysw]

Nice review, well done. It is an interesting watch for me, as I really like the day/date complication. Do you know if it has a quick day/date change (ie at midnight), or does it take 15 minutes or more to come good? A negative I see is that the lume is symmetrical, so picking the watch up in the dark you can't see where 12 oclock is, unless you leave the bezel there and use the extra lume pip for that or feel for the crown. Also the buckle looks chunky and like it would be a scratch magnet - but I do like the quick expansion feature. Otherwise, I like the design and think it looks great in blue.

[@JustBlueFish]

Thanks for watching saulysw. Regarding the day/date, it's a instantaneous flip at midnight. I think most ETA based movements are instant, at least that has been the case on all of my Hamilton watches and this Mido. The buckle is a bit bulky but not really uncomfortable and given that quick adjust functionality I find it to be a fair trade-off.

[@koalanetzekoalanetze1966]

Check out the MIDO Ocean Star 600 Chronometer SI. This beats the Omega Seamaster easily!

[@jeanlefranc3817]

Gosh, why can’t we have this kind of video from you anymore Guy ? KZbin needs quality content.

[@mgmmaze]

I saw the titanium one and for some reason it speaks to me. Since I'm fairly new to mechanical my normal watch is a Garmin Fenix 5 and that is 47mm so this watch would feel "small" compared

[@JustBlueFish]

It might feel small at first but you’ll be used to it in a few hours.

[@svfutbol20]

Yikes, 47 is huge

[@emersonsitorus1136]

This or tissot seastar? The seastar has ceramic bezel and transparent back though. Confused....

[@amycheung3900]

Kim Soo Hyun oppa I love MIDO because you .

[@richardbosh4522]

Nice review It reminds me of a Omega Planet Ocean Vibe. I heard Mido is the big brother of Tissot and may have better quality then tissot from what I read and heard what's your opinion guys?

[@justinsamudio4093]

i about to buy this type of watch you recommended this ?

[@thermionic1234567]

With dive watches, I like to be somewhat-dissuaded from using the crown. Every time you unscrew it, not only do you put wear on it, you also risk cross-threading...

[@JustBlueFish]

Thanks for watching!

[@rotorwind177]

Looks like a nice watch. Just a little bland for me. I prefer rubber straps and that one looks very nice. It’s not brand I know much about but will have to look into more. Nice review.

[@JustBlueFish]

I think one of the biggest problem with Mido is that no one has really heard of it. It's hard for me to spend $500 on a watch from a brand that I don't feel I have any connection with. But, the watch is pretty nice all things considered.

[@madbadger85]

Both the Mido and certina dive watches use the same 80 hour movement and share the same clasp design. I like the watch a lot, but I have one of the original Mido ocean star watches from 1968. Not a big watch like this version but much nicer to look at it’s also waterproof not water resistant like most watchers are marked up and of course it’s a chronometer as well. I might invest in one of the new ocean stars but I’m concerned with the similarities of the certina diver.

[@valueink]

A few things I really like about this watch: thinner than competitors, almost like the 2254.50 which is slightly smaller in diameter; double AR coating, day/date feature. Overall quality of case and band seems up there with the $1000+ watches. I wonder how this compares to the Hydroconquest?

[@JustBlueFish]

Thanks for watching Nick. I’ve never seen the hydroconquest so I couldn’t say how it compares.

[@UncleRichard.]

I own both, for me, the Mido wins hands down. Longines has a higher beat but in my case the Mido is much more accurate. Mido may not have as much cachet but in my opinion, is a better watch.

[@jesusfoyo]

I was between the Mido and the hydroconquest, thanks 4 the review, guess I'll go for the Mido

[@nickrezai8283]

Would totally buy this if it was a 39mm. I hate the trend of big watches these days.

[@JustBlueFish]

Agreed, this would be even better if it were a bit smaller.

[@ivansilvas]

Well... It’s a watch designed for men, not women.

[@Montes-alpha]

thanks for the review. can anyone tell me how to adjust the rubber band? i bought it at a tax free shop in a hurry but the strap is different than i expected. do I have to cut the band? no problem if i do it myself?

[@adrienne4934]

PJH there are lines scribed into the back of the band along with extra holes 🕳 for the spring bars. Measure twice, cut once!

[@BoleDaPole]

Kinda crazy how clear the Mido crystal is when compared to the 10x more expensive Rolex. Could be the lighting idk, but to me the Mido looks much more legible, an important aspect to a dive watch.

[@ecriremaxime8130]

to perfectly honest : it is a nice watch

[@JustBlueFish]

Thanks for watching.

[@acolour]

It would have been perfect to compare it to a Tissot Seastar, which is only . 5mm larger in case diameter, I own two of them, the Hamilton Khaki Scuba and will very shortly (days) own the Mido Oceanstar. They are all nice and the Hamilton seems to have the best build quality easily but also has a nearly unusable bezel as it is quite hard to grip, and no, I wasn't targeting all Swatch group divers, but I was targeting entry, sub $1000 divers and they all essentially have the same movement. I also bought an Orient dive watch just for a Japanese diver other than Seiko and not only was it the cheapest but also has the most satisfying bezel by far of any of them (haven't tried the Mido yet).

[@jpdavis6042]

Mido is kind of an odd duck. I have spent a lot of time in Latin America and Mido is a popular upscale brand there. I've always wanted to like them, but when trying them on, there is something off balance to them. This piece is a tad homely and dull. Enjoyed the review.

[@JustBlueFish]

Thanks for watching JP. This Mido is pretty understated, I could see how someone could find it dull. Still, I like it with the exception of the size but that's not a knock on the watch so much - I just lean towards smaller sized watches in general.

[@chienlinchen8877]

Looks very well made, too bad that it's too big for my wrist. Is it ISO certified? BTW, I think you will like Mido Baroncelli III (M027.407.16.010.00) It's thin, relatively small and elegant, reminds me of Seiko Dolce.

[@JustBlueFish]

Thanks for watching Chien. I don't think it's ISO certified, but I'm not 100% certain on that. I'll look up that Baroncelli you suggested, thanks for the recommendation.

[@PanSearedRibeye68]

The Mido looks so much higher quality than the SKX.

[@neilpiper9889]

Not many reviews of the Seagull Ocean Star or other Seagull watches.

[@JustBlueFish]

I’ll have to look into them a little. Don’t know much about them.

[@seanm3226]

As handsome as you are, I would’ve rather been viewing the watch for the first 5 1/2 minutes. But a nice review of a nice watch. I have essentially the same model in titanium.

[@istvantoth7431]

finally an english speaking person reviewing this watch... I had enough of the german and mandarin lingo ...

[@glockman9c]

Is it a little big in your opinion???

[@marcusskyfall]

Glycine Combat Sub gl 0087 inspired. Nice looking though.

[@JustBlueFish]

Thanks for checking out the video Marcus.

[@mickeydee3595]

Thoughts on the Certina DS Action diver with the promatic 80 movement?

[@JustBlueFish]

Never seen one in person. They look kind of cool, I'd like to check it out.

[@mickeydee3595]

I believe it has the same movement. I really like the watch but im on the fence about that powermatic movement. From my research only swatch/ the brand can repair, service or regulate them as they are set with a laser and don't have a regulator rather screws on the wheel. Cool video man really enjoyed it!

[@vuhuynhthien7983]

❤

[@Realthinx]

12:35 noob question here: would you have to dial it daily a day further to keep the same language or does it skip the next day by itself

[@mv6718]

By itself 🙂

[@AldoFelt]

i had a choice between mido and glycine. I bought the glycine

[@MOB34M]

Five and half minutes before we saw the watch

[@neilpiper9889]

Rubber straps I hate. For me Divers should be big, more polished than this one. 44mm with 22mm solid links and solid neatly fitted end links, and lug to lug less than 50mm. Lugs should curve down. Crown should be easy to use. High beat for a nice smooth sweeping second hand. And under £300.Like my Seagull Ocean Star. It wears sweet even on my skinny wrist. All in house and easy to service.

[@JustBlueFish]

Thanks for watching I appreciate it.

[@nelsonfernandez6097]

Bro that watch for the money is a steal it shut cost 3 times more base on how well made is the watch for a diver 42.5 is perfect.

[@JustBlueFish]

Thanks for watching.

[@TheRaikom]

What is a review without putting it on your wrist? I like the video but this was big let down for me!

[@bbuck1bbuck1]

25 minute review without a wrist shot?

[@JustBlueFish]

Spoiler alert, it looks like every other dive watch on my wrist.

[@mannamedbanjo]

If still for sale please reach out

[@JustBlueFish]

I'll ask him.

[@supersong115]

Hey there, it's still available. I'm the viewer that loaned the watch to @JustBlueFish for review. Email me supersong115 at gmail dot com if you're still interested!

[@elgallonegro7546]

It kinda looks like the yacht master

[@JustBlueFish]

Thanks for watching.

[@jrlim237]

is this COSC certified?

[@greenerick]

No

[@man16812]

Powermatic movements use plastic parts, the Hamilton's Hxx movements use metal parts.

[@JustBlueFish]

That's what I've heard, but what about the Caliber 80 as found in these Mido watches?

[@man16812]

I've read that it's a Powermatic, so it uses plastic.

[@pradeep_sekar]

Manuel TP there is a video on MIDO powermatic 80... I believe its metal parts...

[@brianbrian5138]

It uses silicon balance wheel, same as the new Omega. This came straight from Mido. No plastic

[@sakethsaran8859]

Would you recommend the Mido over the Tissot Seastar 1000?

[@gunnersforlife7796]

Go for the mido

[@qazifaisal5]

Mido ocean star msrp is more like $900 the prices you are quoting are its resale value for used watches. I have a lot of midos in my collection this is one the cheaper end but it's one that I want.

[@patrickkelly5590]

Nice job on the review, but nothing about this watch intrigues me. The specs are good, but the design is so plain vanilla. There's nothing setting it apart in an overcrowded field.

[@JustBlueFish]

Thanks for watching Patrick. I think the blue lume is a nice touch that's different from most of the watches I've seen in this price bracket, and the double AR coated sapphire is also somewhat uncommon. But at a glance I can see that perspective, it's not a show stopper.

[@elizabethmprice]

how do you not do a wrist shot?🙄

[@ats7485]

Thumbs down on this one. The crown looks so hard to grab. If I owned one, I believe every time I would glance at it, I would picture having to dig out the crown to wind and set. Just looking at it makes my fingernails tingle.

[@JustBlueFish]

It’s not quite that bad, but it’s a bit small. Thanks for watching

[@ats7485]

Oh I'm sure it's better than I'm imagining. I just know the kinesthetic discomfort would always be there.

[@magicmike7066]

Soo monotone... Liven it up a bit man! Jeesh

[@philc822]

looks very similar to the TISSOT SEASTAR with the exception of the squared off markers vs round on the SEASTAR , both look like glorified WENGERs / Swiss Army watches , unimpressive to say the least, Dress DIVER/ Desk DIVER , more like FIDO than MIDO, a dog with several fleas.
