This is a great looking, diver style watch. However, it is not a diver. The face would be marked "Diver's 200M" if it has actually been tested and passed the diver standards.

DemoknightHey, can you expand on that a little? Does that mean it's not really waterproof?

FarzThe biggest difference between "WR" or water resistant and "Diver's" rating is that WR only requires a statistical sample number of watches to be tested to ISO2281 standards.
Diver's standard requires that every single watch that comes off the assembly line must be tested to ISO 6425 standards.
Here is some more info on the specifics that go into the tests done for each marking:
