Understood Greg! Wouldn't have bought it if I didn't like it....

Was just looking for opinions!

It looks good; but that's because it looks more or less like a submariner.

If it works and you can wear it in the sea/pool/beach wherever, then it is not bad "value" IMHO.

It looks well made with a heavy bracelet
The bezel is one minute off the perpendicular

OCD kicks in........

I sampled some surprisingly good Deepsea fakes in Egypt that apart from the Lume you would struggle to tell the difference from original (£50)
Would not buy one though!........

Sorted that for you Mr B.

Too tight to buy the real thing, I found something similar, which I thought was a much better option than a fake! Seems to be a fairly reputable brand.

Done some googling and it appears your beater has a proper movement as well as being manufactured in Switzerland

Treated myself with my Xmas money to a Welder K25. Almost certainly an acquired taste but I love it, got a bit of bell and Ross feel about it who I love. Made by Uboat aparantly with cheaper movement.

Like that Scott :thumbsup I have been looking to add to the collection too & was looking at TW Steele and G-shock but that is certainly another option.

They do quite unusual designs which are more affordable than the 2.5k plus bell and Ross designs. I also looked at TW Steel but have to say the Welders just looked a bit different and unusual. Have a look at their range quite interesting stuff and surprisingly affordable :thumbsup

When Levi Maestro first introduced the Infinity Piece, the self-made style arbiter was making a statement about passion and dedication. For the kind of guy who spends his days chasing his dreams, Levi was saying, time is immaterial. That romantic notion is captured in the Infinity Piece, the bracelet that fairly mocks the strictures of time at the same time it mimes the instrument for tracking it. The latest style features a 38mm gold plated stainless steel case with a rotating crown. A genuine stingray band adds to the premium aesthetic and sets up a nice contrast to the gold case.

Got a couple at Christmas as well... one from my wife, and the other from.. erm.. myself :)
From the wife (well, she paid for it, I picked it), a Glycine Combat Sub Stealth:

And from myself, a handwound Magrette Regattare Chronograph:

Magrette. I once had a Glaswegian aunt who went by that name.
