Is there really a market for this.

This has got to be one of the ugliest things I've seen. Perhaps it is for camp,tough guy divers.

At least the main thing is ducky when it goes flat you can always inflate it with that bloody big valve on the side.

How many PSI does it need to be fully charged?

Is that the watch of preference by the band Air Supply?

Unfortunately there IS a market for that ugly-ass watch! Maybe you'll catch a glimpse of one on MTV Cribs.

Whoever said it is right....that crown looks more like a schrader valve.

Not to mention that "Russian" Diver is made in China.

LMAO @ Schrader valve. I guess if they wanted to make an Italian version they could make the crown look like a Presta valve. LOLOLOL

i cant believe that anybody would want to buy such a piece of cr@p..all one would need would be a leather cap and moustache and you would look like a village people reject.. i think that even rap stars (thats rap spelt with a capital C) would think this 'thing' too garish!.
Infact the only benefit i could see for this watch is too help with the maintaing a certain standard in the gene pool.. hopefully the idiots wearing this will choke themselves with the chain.
