Sea-God Dive Watches
As I discussed on the HourTime Show watch podcast, the term "Sea God" for a dive watch brand sits somewhere between clever and obnoxious. The new Italian brand is an enthusiastic yet unabashed jab are Rolex. From the sharp visual resemblance with Rolex's dive watches to the almost satirical text on the dial of "Superlative Design" - this fashion function line of diver still seems to satisfy.The name Sea-God evokes an almost deistic quality in the watch (well literally speaking it does).

Has the craziness finally stopped??
I have been following all of the Black Bay ETA speculation on here for a while now and also just happened to notice LOTS of them for sale on WUS.
