nifty magnetic closures

24 hours in:
The Good
I dig it a lot. Even though its a copy of the Breguet diver...there's nothing else like it.

Its got this wicked crystal thing going that actually make the lume plots appear distorted and larger
on the wrist though it works perfectly.
![](http://imgur.com/H4483by.jpg)
the rounded ceramic bezel, the stepped domed crystal
the surrounds on the hour markers, that little bevel on the date window..the fact that the date wheel matches the dial

dimensions are great IMO

hands touches the markers on point, the seconds hand is fun.
some cool caseback action going

other points of note - lume application is even - important for me
![](http://imgur.com/oA2nIDd.jpg)

winding is way smooth, the bezel clacks along nicely the way Terry likes it (backplay only if u fiddle around)
LOVE THAT CLEAN DIAL, and the blackness of it too
The Meh
its chunky...gnomon dude says its due to the WR..eh..?
good thing the lugs curve down
![](http://imgur.com/6Bihoe5.jpg)
OMG whats going on with the lug holes???

this is on some german rubber backed strap
![](http://imgur.com/YMzZXsO.jpg)
good thing the included straps kinda works...

gotta say military colors work the best

although it worked well with the toxicbonds

one other thing, the lume on the hands are just a shade different from the markers..
