Deep Blue Watches...

Anyone come across these guys before? http://www.deepbluewatches.com

Found them by complete chance earlier today and really like some of their stuff.

Particularly, this:



Might pick one up as a day to day piece...

I had to double check, but I did have one of these - a diver with a green face. Solidly built, had a ceramic bezel IIRC. These are nice for the money.

i think their watches look great, would love to get my hands on one some day. also they do nicw womens ones too. always seem to have sales on in the US but never easy for me to get.

They were of interest to me as a lot of their watches have tritium tubes on the dial

deep down I'm a child who likes colourful shiny things ... just never seemed to get one with the tritium as I couldn't justify the cost given what other stuff you could get for the money

I put a fair bit of research into them a while back but never pulled the trigger. Seemingly decent watches but a lot of people dont like the fact that they were agressively pushing into the shopping channel market a while back, it cheapens the name and caliber a little.

Have a search on adverts for sold ones as I do recall seeing a guy selling a few different versions on adverts around the €200-250 mark not that long ago.

They upset a few by copying and upgrading the SKX007

In fairness it's going for around half the price of a 007. If anybody is thinking of buying one of these just pay the little bit extra to get a seiko of some description!
I haven't seen any of the deep blue watches in the flesh but having owned quite a few seikos and currently have a lovely blue sumo, the build quality is incredible for the money.

I own a 009 and like it - but there is a case for choosing the Deep Blue as it has sapphire crystal, hacking/hand winding movement and greater water resistance.

Personally, I would still choose the Seiko.
