Rotary Seamatic Strap Black Edition Automatic - GS05434/04

Absolutely superb watch for the money - great looking and whisper quiet. Light on the wrist and excellent time keeping up to now at least.

I love the look of this black edition, but there are a couple of niggles. One is that because the bezel has luminous markers, as well as those on the face - and only the tips of the hands are luminous, and the minute hand tip overlaps the face markers, in the dark it's sometimes quite difficult to actually tell what the time is. Another is that the date numerals are actually quite small. I've enquired and it might be possible to fit another glass that has a magnifier over the date (like the Henley Seamatic has), but this will cost another £56 +VAT+postage, £76 altogether, nearly half the original cost of the watch. These practical details matter on a watch that's marketed for diving, not just for show.

Fantastic watch for the money, really happy with it!
