I have one, you can read my review of it in the Watch Review section of this forum (just look for the Sea Dweller review by "Solar")

Here are a few pix I took in a light tent....

I'm not upset that I have a Z series....the new design has a better clasp and the larger sized lume-maxi dial, but I owned a blue lume watch and I personally prefer the green lume of my SD.

I also really dislike the rehaut engraving on the new SD, and not to re-hash old topics since Basel 2008, but that rehaut (over) engraving is really the deal breaker for me.

I would consider trading my SD for a Sub or a Sub LV before I would ever trade it for the new design.

Also, having seen both ceramic and metal bezels in the flesh, I prefer the "old" aluminum bezel insert look. Again, a personal feel.

And look at my macro shot of the coin edge of the bezel. You really see the depth of the cut into the extra-thick Sea Dweller besel ring, which makes for an incredible low-level, soft, museum-quality of bling as light plays off the coin edge of this specific (SD) bezel.

Best,

Chris
