I bought one of their limited Damascus pieces in the smaller size(normal) and was extremely impressed with the fit and finish and overall build quality. They produce extremely good watches but I don't get why they make such big sizes.
They have the potential to make high quality, sharp looking divers for great prices and could probably sell a boat load.
This design is a bit out there, I might have bitten if it were a reasonable size.
Anyone interested in this watch should check out the recently posted Member photos--those shots are a much better reference to the size, fit and finish of these watches than the product shots posted on the drop.
I know it sounds big, and I know a lot of ladies in the audience are fainting when they read it, but remember: 47mm only equals 1.85039 inches, not feet.
Even for me (a guy with huge, manly-man, eight-inch wrists) 47mm is definitely Nimitz-Class size!

Closest watch I have would be a Makara Sea Turtle at 44mm--which is only Bismarck size:

And while I like it just fine, I have to admit is more of novelty watch, than an everyday watch.
That said, I still maintain only YOU can decide what your limits are--or are not!PS: @Bobraz 's birthday is just around the corner and I know he's positively Jonesing for the green one--so, you know, just wanted to point that out...
Nothing to lose, especially if you kindly keep entertaining us with witty remarks and caustic comments! (and bashing/shaming the idiotic commenters - I love it!)
These were selling for $85 on their website at one stage except the white which has fhe fully luminous dial. Its still good value at this price but is does beg the question why are they having to discount this much

When a manufacturer sets a price, they have the option of simply adding a markup to their cost (say 50% for instance) or alternatively, looking at market prices for similar items as a starting point/guide (as we assume they have done here).
The golden rule of MSRPs is that you can always charge less (offer discounts), but you can never charge more! So it's best to start high (even crazy-high) and then adjust down as much and, as often as required.
