Bought this a few weeks ago. Got number 0043. Very Pleased
I have had my Mil-Sub for several months now and couldn’t be happier. It stands alone from my 15 or so other watches. I bought both versions and the Swiss version is by far the superior hooves and worth the extra investment. A lot of reviews I watched and read said the bracelet was to small ant felt off. Well I disagree it is a historically accurate representation of the originals. The quality of the strap is my favorite part when comparing the Swiss vs. Non. This would be a great add to anyone’s collection no matter if you went Swiss or not but for me it’s Swiss all the way!
I am writing this because I believe the watch deserves a fair review. The watch itself is as described in the specs and is quite bulbous. It has a nice heft and is solid. I have an 8.25" wrist and the watch and watch band work perfectly for me. I am about the middle of the band holes, so both larger and smaller wrists will work. The back of the watch has nice attention to detail, and I am happy with the engraving and metal work on the case back. As a collector, I got a round serial number of 125, so that was a nice addition. I will say that if you do not wear the watch snugly, it will probably drift on your wrist. The band is narrower than your typical diver, but it should not be a hindrance in owning the watch - or get a different band/strap...not a challenge. Finally, my only issue is that the lume seems a little dull. It is by no means TUDOR bright. If you are covertly diving at night, I would not suggest this watch. Personal preference on the push-down requirement of the bezel. I rotate all mine minus 5 to minus 15, so I only touch the bezel twice or so a year. Pushing it down was odd, but not a hindrance.
