Just received my Ocean7 LM-6c, and this watch is insane.. I love it. Swiss Made, Valjoux 7750 movement, 44mm case, 17mm thickness, 260g on Bracelet. Its a heavy watch! Really well made watch, especially given the price. Curved sapphire crystal creates a magnification effect on the dial which is really nice. Not AR coated that I can tell, at least not on the outside so it reflects a bit. But links are nicely screwed together, and the bracelet is a wide 24/24 with a cool logo'd double butterfly clasp. Screwdown pushers and crown, just like the Chronomat... with a bezel that is kind of like Marathon CSAR meets Seiko Monster.

What you guys think?

Nice one Admin - kind of reminds me a bit of a Dreadnought PRS-2.

That does look good - not really my sort of thing, but it does work.

I like it! That's a seriously chunky bracelet, and I like the hands too.

Yeah that looks pretty nice. I would like it a lot better if the hour hand was orange as well, but......

Hows the price??

I have to admit this thread's got me interested enough to go and have a look at the Ocean7 website. Apparently they're out of stock of this model at the moment. (The Orange Monster in my collection is probably relieved about that!)

Admin - it looks like it wears larger than 44mm would suggest - is that the case?

Price on this model is $1699, and its a lot of watch for the money. It does wear larger than my Chronomat Evo that is about 44mm, but that might be because its so thick as well. My wrists are 6 3/4", so they are on the smaller side.
