Has anyone checked out the new "Devario" quartz diver?

I wasn't a huge fan of the Orient 100m quartz diver I picked up a couple years ago, but this one looks kinda fun.  This UN9P002Y they claim is 200m.  Orient USA lists it at $170.00 but one should be able to get it for half off, no?

And I know as a quartz it is no comparison to the SKXA35 but the overall look is similar and it should be quite a bit easier on the wallet!

Now go ahead and tell me its rubbish.

I love that model! it's available in several colors and if you look at the extra pictures of it you will see it has a great vintage cushion diver case shape! I see lots of potential for some great mods with it!

I may have to pull the trigger on one.  I do like the other color options, especially the blue/yellow bezel:

I wish they offered the steel bracelet with all the colors, but it appears they only sell that with the blue one.

I look forward to seeing you improve one!
