I received mine today... so, here's the good, the bad and the ugly: GOOD; It arrived exactly 7 days after ordering! ---The head of the watch is absolutely drop dead gorgeous and perfectly sized for my 7" wrist---Love the retro look, the dials/indices/hands and case. BAD: The bracelet is horrible; QC is terrible (two screws broke off while I was adjusting the bracelet); that being said, the bracelet on mine did not have the strange variance on the links that you noted, they were perfectly symmetrical as they should be. UGLY: There is nothing the slightest bit ugly about this watch. CONCLUSIO0N: After changing the clasp out to a quality Rolex style Glidelock clasp, I am one happy camper!

With regards to the lume not matching on the hands and dial, with cheaper brands, the hands and dials are made in different factories and often made by the cheapest place rather than the best. When you consider how much cheaper some of these watches are, I think it’s acceptable. The wonder to me is that companies like Steeldive can make watches at this price that glow all night!

But I want to talk about the here shown quality. In Germany we say that quality is the fulfillment of a requirement. And for around 140 US-D I want more! As I said after your unboxing vid, I´,m totally shocked about the bracelet.Now I noticed some rough areas on it, looking like machine markings. And the indeces at 4 and 5...an abolut no-go!
