blue is nice...especially the shiny blued hands; again impressed with the 'floating' indices

quite a bit of depth to the dial here

the rubbergator is nice

like super comfy

clasp is very well designed
(http://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag448/qrchandc26/Jean%20Richard%20Aquascope/20150722_072304_resize_zpsbn2vykv3.jpg)

The crown is oddly hard to grip to screw..with the terrascope I just kinda pick it out with a nail and off we go, not this one.
this one here it kinda screws in like a GS(winding as u screw in)

cool caseback, feels a bit scratchy
(http://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag448/qrchandc26/Jean%20Richard%20Aquascope/20150721_231516_resize_zpsvegltlwn.jpg)
brushed look on the bezel, and sunken lume pip is pretty cool,bezel clicks clean
(http://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag448/qrchandc26/Jean%20Richard%20Aquascope/20150722_072213_resize_zpsdabp2lg5.jpg)

facet-ed date window is nice too, I think the font seems a bit weird

(http://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag448/qrchandc26/Jean%20Richard%20Aquascope/20150721_231709_resize_zpstpav034c.jpg)
lume not as great as the terrascope I had..slightly splotchy on the hour hand

for some reason I thought the white of the terrascope to be more polar, comparison pic
