I'm not amazed by my new MWC. Its fine, but and its a perfectly nice watch but if I had paid £300+ for it I'd be pretty fucked off. Not least of all because the NATO straps it comes with are the worst I have seen.

Quality is commensurate with a £175 watch apart from the straps. Its a decent workhorse for the money. Packaging is shoddy which is a giveaway. Gaseous lume is nice touch albeit very dim compared to conventional lume.

Definitely won't be keeping in my collection. I have enough work-horse divers.

Anybody want one of these for £175 posted? Roughly half price compared to direct from MWC.

Had a look on WuS and elsewhere and saw really mixed opinions, so decided against buying one myself. Shame to hear it's a bit of a wet flannel.

Btw I think they do returns on that ebay

I'm probably being a bit harsh but then again, side by side with my 007 it is clear which is better value for money.

It all comes down to whether you really like the idea of having the gas lume shining 24/7 or not I think. Not very useful to most people.
