Hey Tom, it is comfy! These guys have been sending me emails for several years (5 or 6) and always the watches were too big, like 45 to 47 mm! So I always passed on them even though I like the look. So this years email brought some 42mm pieces and I was interested, with the 30% off sale I was hooked! Check out the specs for $200. Only 25 of each color made! Here are the specs if you are interested:
CASE:Stainless Steel 316L Brushed/Polished Width from 10 to 4: 42.5mm Width from 10 to 4 including crown: 46.5mm Lug to Lug: 49mm Lug Width: 22mm Total Height: 12.7mm
BEZEL:120 Click Unidirectional Bezel, Ceramic Insert PIP Indicator at the 12 with Green Super Luminous Insert
CRYSTAL:Flat Sapphire Anti-Reflective Coating
AUTOMATIC MOVEMENT:Miyota 8215 Automatic with Date at the “4” Superb Reliability
CASEBACK Solid Caseback with Custom Embossed Scorpion Engraved Ring with Watch Identification/Serial Number
CROWN Screwdown Crown at 4:00 with Crown Guards Diameter: 6mm Height: 4mm
DIVERS WATCH STRAP Silicone Rubber Strap in applicable matching color included with each REEF X 22mm Fitted End Silicone Rubber Strap Polished Stainless Steel Engraved Buckle
STEEL BRACELET (STAINLESS STEEL BRACELET INCLUDED WITH EACH REEF X) 22mm Stainless Steel Polished/Brushed Integrated Bracelet with Safety Clasp Adjustable Links and Clasp for Sizing WATER RESISTANCE 200 Meters (20ATM) Pressure Tested

WEIGHT 163 Grams WATCH POUCH/INSTRUCTION & WARRANTY BOOKLET SERKET Reef X automatic diver watch comes with Top Grain Black Leather Custom Scorpion Embossed Travel Pouch and Instruction & Warranty Booklet
Anyway if you read to the bottom I will give you the meaning of Serket:
Serket: the Scorpion-headed goddess of Ancient Egypt(also known as Serqet, Selket, Selqet, or Selcis) is the goddess of fertility, nature, animals, medicine, magic, and healing venomous stings and bites in Egyptian mythology, originally the deification of the scorpion.

You can definitely tell the design of this one makes the fit more comfortable Gary. And yes, I remember the models they had from several years ago were a little large, but I always thought they stood out in the crowd. Which is what these new watches still are doing here, but in a more traditional way, with the more traditional size. It’s pretty impressive, and how about the dial?! ..You won’t see that done on another watch.
Between the comfort, outstanding design, AND price. It was, or is a E’x’cellent get sir !!!
P.S. Thanks a ton for the insight on what Serket means.
I sort of just thought it was another word for scorpion. However, it is much more I am finding out thanks to you !
