Thanks!

A guy at my work owns that very watch. I don't really know him too well, but I do know that he's into scuba divining in a big way, and he wears that watch when he's diving. It looks pretty nice and chunky in the flesh (metal), and the yellow kevlar/carbon fibre dial is pretty cool. It's a definite "tool" watch. I like it.

Thanks for the input...I like it as a more sporty compliment to my Breitling SO Steelfish.

All these diver watches and I can't even really swim! haha

***UPDATE***

After looking for this watch at various online vendors I finally bought it today...I have to say, I got quite a deal on it.

Prestige Time is selling it for $2,270
http://prestigetime.com/item.php?item_id=2725

I found one at www.thewatchery.com for only....$1,295
http://www.thewatchery.com/Baume-&-Merc ... -10796.htm
(the link is the last one in stock and has the rubber strap. Mine was the last one in stock, but with the Black Fabric Strap.)

I'll post pictures once it comes in!

Didn't look for that exact watch here but overstock always has tons of your brand. I hope they don't have yours cheaper :oops:

I certainly will. I'll post a review.

I was told verbally that all paperwork is included and serial numbers are left in tact on all of their watches.

Bought it, received it, hated it, returned it.

www.thewatchery.com has been fantastic to deal with though. The watch arrived in it's original box with serial numbers in tact and with all the proper paperwork. They are allowing for a full refund, and have been helpful in returning the watch.

I just didn't like it as much in person as I did on the website. I tried, but could not find one for sale at a local AD so buying online was my only option.

Breitlings have spoiled me for life....not that bad of a thing to happen to a guy though! Looks like I'll just have to save up for another!
