Incoming: A Bit Outside the Box
I saw an ad on Facebook for LIV watches and ended up getting this GX1-A. It's an interesting watch. It has the Sellita SW200 movement. It arrived yesterday. It came with a very nice leather strap with blue stitching. I put this blue NATO on it to save the strap for now. I should have ordered it with the rubber strap as I don't like taking my watch off to shower.
I felt there was great value for the price. I thought I could use it as my beater but the truth is, I loved the blue dial so I bought it. In the first 24 hours it's gained 4 seconds. I'm very pleased with it so far.

It's 42mm. It seems comfortable. It has a sapphire crystal and display case back as well. Screw down crown. LIV is coming out with another model soon as well. I just liked the colour but I think it's a decent watch!

That's really cool - I especially like the sandwich style dial and the font for the numbers, well and the orange and blue color combo (except that I can't stand Auburn, but we'll leave College Football out of this )

Congrats
