I will try to get one up for you in the next couple of days. Preliminary results = it keeps good time, it looks pretty sharp, for the price it can't be beat. Downsides: the bezel rotation feels a little flimsy (compared to the Rolex Sub and my Breitling SOH). The NATO it comes with is rubbish. I replaced it with another one.

Overall, for the money, it's a great looking homage watch that work well.

I'll post pics and a bit more thorough review this week, time permitting.

Shall we split a review? I bit the bullet and grabbed one.

Agreed on the strap. Junky, but I like the concept. I'll have to get a Maratac. Mine's keeping good time- +9 over the first 48 hours.
