Yes. I had the Navy SEAL Dive watch. See Picture:
It was a very rugged timepiece. It was quartz which was OK for what it is designed for. I did not want to have to have it opened for a long time anyway. The battery lasts 10 years. I got rid of it as I was getting too top heavy with watches. Unlike some others who have huge collections I cannot do that. You can only wear one watch at a time. I have 4 high end watches now and am at my limit. What are you wanting to know specifically? BigHat also owns an MTM Navy SEAL Dive Watch currently. Terry Newton

Terry has it right.
Black Seal is a big, heavy watch with the PVD SS bracelet. I personally don't mind the weight and the shape of the case does allow it to set nicely on my wrist. Of course, they have other models too. In CONUS they are their own distributor. Standing by for specific questions, but this YouTube review help answer ???s too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geaFn...eature=related |

Are all of their models liquid filled for pressure? Did you like the watch with regard to outdoor activities?

Only the Navy SEAL Dive Watch is fluid filled to prevent compression at great depth. It is supposedly the only watch that is rated as waterproof rather than water resistant. The other watches they sell are reasonably priced, wear well ,and are macho as all hell. Naturally nothing can compare to a fine mechanical watch but, once in awhile, it is nice to wear something spot-on accurate. If Jack Bauer wears one as he is saving all of our lives in those 24 hour periods of time I believe they are good enough for me. Which one has got you excited?

I like the Patriot and Predator in the black coating as well as the camouflage models. Not a big hunter but the look and process of the camouflage jumps out at me.

I say go for it. They are nicely priced and would make a good beater watch. I sold mine as I did not need two beater watches. I have an old Tag Heuer that can be my beater watch.
Let's see some pics when you get it. I kept trying to get Matt to post his but I think he was ashamed to post a quartz when he has such an amazing collection of mechanical watches. He even has my grail watch; the A. Lange & Sohne that makes me drool. Terry Newton
