The watch looks like a great watch but how well does it keep time ? I would consider the Invicta Rolex style watch for 100.00 dollars or the Seiko diver watch for about 250.00 dollars.

Hey Commander! a Croton will suffice for your Rolex knock-off! A nice Japanese automatic movement I got mine at Big 5 for $50 and the local Rolex dealer is even impressed! Plus you can hand it over to a highend bling-bandit on the mean streets without much ado! My dive watch is my wife's Seiko 150 meter groom gift to me of 38 years; worn in all oceans of the planet. Note the crown at the four o'clock position to reduce the risk of rock hits at depth. All real dive watches should hav this imho! I had watch serviced by Seiko to guarantee the watertightness when I noticed it slowing in the mid nineties; it still loses 5 minutes a week- even on the auto winder; <essential equipment $900+-- and the rotating bezel saves lives when computing air consumption 100 feet down hunting ferocious 40 lb+ lingcod in their Monterey wall cave hidouts....at night with a red lamp.

 

While guarding eggs, unique to the west coast: 5 feet (1.5 m), 70 pounds (32 kg); females are larger than males. lingcod have been known to attack humans. A lingcod's coloration makes this ambush predator well camouflaged in its rocky hideaway. Lingcod rely on surprise to capture prey—and on their large mouths, which have 18 sharp teeth to hold their catch securely. Their small, pointed teeth are interspersed with large, fanglike teeth. Like most bottom dwellers, lingcod are solitary fish and usually stray only a short distance from their rocky home base.

I kept the scratched crystal as patina from long use is a factor of the watches value.
My skin is allergic to the rubber band so I got a Walmart stainless steel bracelet capable of going over a neoprene suit sleeve...big, easy to read.... and still seeing heavy action on the high seas BBY!
