Having had the benefit of studying it in person...

Hi Marcus,

I agree that the blue riders are what I struggle with. I love the concept, and with black riders I suspect it would work really well.
The aesthetic of the RG version works really well and everyone I show those pics to loves it.

IMHO A good step in the right direction all things considered, only complaint in the press release is the mention of "fusion", we don't need any more JCB and his marketing angle. This is UN after all. Let's not go down that road!

Warm regards,

Tim

First of all, thanks, Tim, for showing the watch here! In fact, I have been asking for a true Marine Diver chronograph for several years. Now that it is finally here I am not entirely sure whether I should be happy or disappointed. Generally, I consider t... 

Compared with the other versions depicted ...

... in the press release (posted above), I think that this black dial steel version is the least attractive. The one with the silver dial looks less colourful and a bit more serious, IMHO. Regards, Marcus

how does it work!

Did a designer quite Rolex and start working for UN? I know UN is trying to get into new markets (it seems to be working) and that this is neccessary for thier business survival but I hope they wont stray too far from thier origins....this is too far.

Same hope!
