Picked this SNE573 up yesterday. I really like it. Would I prefer it without the Prospex logo and Solar text? Sure. But I can live with it for a mere $418 after tax. Have been missing a dive watch and my local jewelers had this at 20% off, despite it being a new release. Sapphire crystal, drilled lugs, incredibly legible, 10 month battery life on a full solar charge, 38mm wears really nicely on my small wrist, rubber strap is very comfortable and very pliable. Oh, and bezel and chapter ring alignment is good, too! Feels a bit like a poor mans sub and I have a lot of time for it.
@heldring@jv No bracelet. That only comes on the slightly more expensive PADI version which is ugly IMO. Re bezel insert - pretty sure it’s aluminium and not plastic!
