Yes it is similar in lots of ways but also very different in others, so as not to be a straight copy.

I love the Bronze and can't wait for it to develop a really nice patina.

Nice set!

I really like all of the scratches on that beautiful SD bracelet. It means you're wearing it, and that you treat it as a watch...not like some piece of precious, perfect metal that you baby!

Wear it all the time, dived it, in fact live in it.
Although when I'm at work which involves a lot of very heavy dirty work and grinding I wear my Seiko diver now that's one beaten beater!
