thanks to the internet, i managed to get one of these despite living the in the u.s. and i love wearing it. it's a fantastic value, in my view. obviously, it's not on par with your the more expensive dive-watch cousins, but taken on its own terms, the finish is fine, the proportions are right, and an 80 hour power reserve is not to be scoffed at! lume is a bit weak, nato strap frays easily, and supple does not exactly apply to the leather strap which is clearly designed with yeti in mind anyway. but overall, for the price, and the beauty of the thing: this is a really great watch! i love it, and sadly my beloved jlc ewc has had to be retired for the time being!
