I have the same watch but in the black version. Andrew also offers this watch as a "perfect" sub @ around $300. Since I don't worry about the pressure test, the $188 should serve me well. My impression is somewhat different from the above. When compared to a gen, my CGs are almost identical. The SELs are fine on my watch. The bracelet has a very well done brushed finish with a soft satin sheen which nearly matches the finish on the gen. The bracelet doesn't have the same feel as the gen and isn't as fluid in movement but the appearance is pretty close. There are several items that are a bit "off" but, that is to be expected. To my eye, this latest version Sub is the best we've seen yet. This watch is very similar to the TTK $100 Sub but with an Eta 2836 movement. Check out the review by By Tor for a good insight into the particulars of this watch.
