ploprof, blobzor ... not much difference. lol.

As a dive watch the gen is very good. I would not wear it out of the water though.

There's no doubt it looks good... The thing that seems questionable.. is: Are they using a blacklight in the photo???????? :whistling:

[Blobzor]

nice lume shot but we don't know how it was charged, if it's not taken under black light or stuff like this (i mean the rep, cause obviously the gen glows even in day time.)

plof plof

damn plaifender beat me to it.

Im going to sit this one out and wait for the Swiss ETA version. I will also keep my fingers crossed on the "bezel lock system" being functional. This Is not a bad looking rep for the money. But I just dont feel comfortable wearing a watch that dosent operate as advertised. Cant wait for a review Mike

i'm with you mike, and have a feeling the bezel lock will be functional.

Happy feet, and poor date font. Everything else looks good to me. Would like it on an orange rubber.

Then it wont get much wrist time....I think it will be very nice while doing som carpenting, repairing the car, sky jumping, carrying rocks, hicking in the Alaskan wilderness or anything else Nanug would normally do ...except maybe going to church/temple unles your are a gravedigger....in short this is not a tool watch it is the Nanug Watch

[lufcmattylad]

Can't wait to see the pics on someone's wrist.

+1 I need to see that shot before I pull the trigger

[lufcmattylad]

What is actually meant by a 'lite' version? and is andrews ploprof the 'lite' version?

Gunnar you NAILED it.

I'll tell you what, this baby has me drooling. It may very well be the only rep I'll buy this decade. AS LONG AS I can find a thick mesh for it! Are good mesh bracelets available, and what's the lug spacing on this beauty?

Must ... have ... a ... skanky ... PloProf !!!

PloProf = The Nanug Watch

[Pugwash]

A decent rep of this will probably be my next rep. I'm not sure this version is it yet, though.

[amptor]

It looks best on black rubber, imho. Not mesh, not bright orange fluorescent rubber.

Also someone stating you need a loupe to see the happy feet? What? I can see it on all of my watches from 3' away. The casual observer won't notice it.

[Nanuq]

All right guys, this thread is begging for a link to an appropriately gnarly mesh bracelet for Da Beast.

Anyone?

C'mon Pugs, I know you do big watches ... where does a mere mortal get a nice thick mesh?

If you don't like the Omega mesh bracelets, lonestar makes some of the best mesh bracelets for the money IMHO. I've had great experience with them.

Here we go... nice thick mesh here, but sorta pricey too.

Jurgens do make some great mesh bracelets, but they are a bit pricy.

LOL Nanuq, excellent disclaimer. Well done.

[Ronin]

The rumor is better version is coming from a different factory but it will be significantly more money. It sounds like we will hopefully have the best of both worlds - decent rep for decent price or better one for more money. But I also heard the more expensive version is one of those "coming out in the next couple of months" so who knows what the timing is.

Looks like a repeat of the "BlackSteel's" V1, V2, V3(Really V2 of V1 Factory)

Here is a gen on the new isofrane strap. II ordered one of these for my LM-7. http://forums.watchuseek.com/showthread.php?t=372369
