txcollector Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 As a dive watch the gen is very good. I would not wear it out of the water though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blobzor Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 (edited) 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.

maxman Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 Happy feet, and poor date font. Everything else looks good to me. Would like it on an orange rubber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gran Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 As a dive watch the gen is very good. I would not wear it out of the water though. 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pugwash Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 A decent rep of this will probably be my next rep. I'm not sure this version is it yet, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amptor Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 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 Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 All right guys, this thread is begging for a link to an appropriately gnarly mesh bracelet for Da Beast. Anyone?

If you don't like the Omega mesh bracelets, lonestar makes some of the best mesh bracelets for the money IMHO.

Ronin Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
