Originally, I thought it might be an interesting watch but as photos emerge, esp. these against a Submariner, show the watch to be ungainly and disproportionate. Looking at the dial it reminds me of say, driving a 550 Maranello and a Ferrari version of a Pontiac Trans Am's "screaming chicken" emblazoned across the length of the hood. It is a Rolex Bart Simpson screaming, "Hey! Look at me!!!" It just lacks the elegance and class that the Sub continues to exude.

No doubt it will find plenty of wearers. There are a lot of huge, garish designs that some people choose to wear. But with the brutish height of the case, I haven't seen one wrist shot where the wearer could pull it off without the watch overshadowing the wrist and arm. Let's face it, most people don't have arms like Arnold and this watch is going to emphasize that to good effect.
