Already discussed quite a bit elsewhere - this is the obligatory new watch post.
--------
Ok it's here and I like it.
Big, Bad, Hunka Mutha - Not for the faint of heart
Wanted a bold quartz chrono with 12hr totalizer - have way too many 30min counters
Very comfortable - but will probably order the bracelet from original anyway as insurance.
Lume quite good for Invicta - still quick to charge fast to dissipate
Was able to see some lume in the wee hours this morning - so much better than usual.
Cross between an SAS (translucent subdials), and a Venom (sheer girth and bubble hour markers).
Really like the contoured architecture of the pusher area w/claw-like screw down crown
Although this is expressed better in the original three hand version - where pushers clutter the form on the new model.
Bezel has smooth precise purr much like the Croton Pineapple Diver - but will have too much play for serious diver fans.
Love the see-thru cut out on chrono second hand for date window (exclusive to the 5050E(yal)
Hate the big R on the bracelet
Hate the "I beams" on the pushers - much like the big "L" on Lavern's sweater
Otherwise like wearing a big gladiator cuff w/extra testosterone included
Thanks for watching.
