It's a grand cheaper than watchfinder, and they've reduced the price, i think it was 10k last week!

I have been wearing mine for a day now... WOW! It's awesome to look at! I have had it for a few weeks and finally peeled most of the plastic off. It feels great on the wrist and with the quick adjustable clasp... size it just right in a few seconds. What a marvelous design!

I admit it took some time to grow on me... At this point I am in awe of it! BUT, it does have a few QC issues I regret. So far the lume is very lumpy, especially on the 12 o'clock marker. AND, I noticed a spot (very small) on the dial. IS ANYTHING REALLY PERFECT? I paid us MSRP... Now that I have worn it for some time... I think I would have paid more... GO FIGURE!

I agree the lume does seem "splotchy" on my hands and on the 6 and 9 markers.

The thick everything casts a shadow on the dial. As a result, it makes the lume imperfection a bit more noticeable to me... Or the shadow makes it look more imperfect than it is. But, on my 6'4" and 260 lb frame.. the watch looks in great balance. Finally a Rolex that does not look "dinky" on me. I always thought the regulars subs looked small on me, especially after wearing larger Breitlings and Panerais.

totally outrageous price.

a sensible price for a deep sea from a grey dealer is £6995.00 no more than that i feel....

some grey dealers are just plain greedy.
