Order on 11/03/2014,16:00; arrival on 12/03/2014,12:30(FedEx)... :Dancing_banana:

The packaging was okok.....but it arrived very fast...

Feels like a dust bin....the material of the box is like ABS plastic. It is water resistant too...

Comes with 3 straps....1.Vintage diving strap,2.Nato strap(Not sure..) & 3.Soft leather...all with Brass buckle. Extra 2 steel screw-in lugs with a screw driver. I like the way they do the buckle because the plastic & leather are in different size...good effort for a HK base company. :Cheers:

Here is the biggest buckle amongst the rest....soft leather.

The watch has quite a heavy feel....and it is big....so is the buckle. :Startled: :Startled:
Titanium back-case. Brass screw-in crown. The bezel can be remove and change to Titanium bezel(not included) :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Here is the wrist shot on my tiny wrist... :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

The lume is quite ok.....unfortunately I did not took the pic because my phone takes sloppy pic with low light. It can be compared with normal Seiko divers.
This is my 1st brass watch ....I been Googling around and discover that Brass/Bronze watches will have a patina when it has been worn by the owner...can't wait for that...more pics soon.....CHEERS....hope u all enjoy the review. :Cheers: :Cheers:
Some more pics....  :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
