    Like me, it's good looking but fatter and heavier than it should be... quality seems good, finishing not quite up there. For the money it's fantastic.

    yeah it has the y676 in it don't it ? and from what I read it just basically the seiko 7s26B but with out hacking I'm lead to believe and better in some ways then the 7s26b had that issue with speeding up some time when the hair spring caught and would arch less but apparently was an easy fix when this did happen was looking at a couple of there models one is at £63 I think it was the seiko brand version was on sale but like £183 that is a big chunk of money and the re -sell value to would be better sold a seiko lost about £50 on it but if you are paying £60 first probably get about £40 for the model I was looking at so just seems a good deal all round...

    if the quality is there or to a reasonable degree heavy would probably not matter to me as much as fit and finish

    Bracelet fits me fine and I have mans size wrists. Bought mine used through a forum so got a good deal on it. I'm happy with it for now. Doubt I'll wear it all that much but I have quite a few divers to choose from.
