I called George at Govberg Jewelers yesterday afternoon and he had this on my front doorstep by lunch today. As usual he was awesome to deal with and I highly recommend him for any of your future purchases.

The watch itself is amazing. I was not a huge fan of these at first, but they started to grow on me. The dial and bezel are truly stunning looking in person. It is extremely comfortable to wear and makes for a great summer-casual watch. I took some quick pictures on my coffee table. I have to get back to 'working' today, but I promise better pictures and a review to come this weekend when I have more time. I also included a shot of the watch between two 44mm pieces so that you could judge the size easier.

You people really need to stop posting pics of these :x , I'm starting to think this would be a great "play" watch. It's kinda weird, it looks tiny next to the PAM, but not too bad next to the Fish. Very cool. Congrats.

I was thinking the same. It looks really nice on that strap. George spoke to me yesterday and told me he's buying this watch but with the red ring around it.

George might sell someone on the moon a watch. PM Jnelson for his contact info. I was working with George and he's a great guy, but I wound up buying from a member on here.

After a day I'm really digging this piece. I may call George and order a bracelet. I consider 44mm 'my sweet spot', but this piece fits beautifully. The +2mm provides a lot of wrist presence and heft compared to a Rolex sport model.

I've had the blue one for a couple months now. I have the blue Ocean Racer strap and a black leather strap for it. I LOVE the black leather as it works great with a suit without being too noticeable or over the top....plus if you wanted to keep the cost way down you could get the leather without deployment for like $150.

:yeahthat x2
I just saw the yellow, black, and silver in the metal this past week and been thinking about this watch too much. I really think the blue looks nice and may be the color for me but the red may be cool too? May have to wait until I can see the red and blue in person. I'd definitely go with rubber with deployant :D .
