They said they were going to do it. It just took a long time.

@jenagal  Sorry for the delay, didn't know there were questions.  Yes, Shawn is still at LC and seems happy there.  It's on Direct TV a few channels down from HGTV.  That old Dan Dennis has made his way to the LC and Shawn has been very kind to him.  I think everyone else is sick of him.  I've always liked Shawn and friended him on FB when Evine fired him.  He's a little strange but is a nice person.  I'll look it up and see if I can do a screen shot of that page.

@Lavenderjunkie  Im having trouble getting this to post correctly.  I got   today and really like it.  The dial has an interesting texture which isn't obvious in pictures and I can actually read the date.  The designs on the case are elegant and diffe...

 

Anyone want a HUGE divecase?

This absolutely will not take the second half of my message. I've redone it 4 different ways.  I was saying that the watch is elegant in a different sort of way but I don't like the rubbery strap.  Overall the watch is very attractive and well worth the money.  I don't think I'd care for the color-changing version.  The watch is large and it would be garish, or so it seems to me.

 

Does anyone want a huge divecause?

Re: WATCH COLLECTORS...... OCTOBER 2016

Those divebox/suitcase things have saved me a lot of money, since I pretty much refuse to buy any watch that they sell that comes in one!  They talk them up like it's a big bonus & the watch is basically free for what they sell those stupid things for on their own, but I have zero use for them at this point.  I don't want my watches shipped in luggage & I wish evine or Invicta would offer a non-divecase option, but it's their loss...

That's too bad, aub! LOL

 

They have finally come out with an Ocean Ghost automatic in 38mm.  They will offer with an 8-slot dive case.

 

I have only seen one other 38mm OG and that was a long time ago.

 

This has MOP. I have seen the picture of it and it looks nice. No idea of what the price will be.

I wanted that watch, but missed out on the special price. Glad you enjoy it.

 

Those dive boxes are a pain in the neck. I have thrown out a few, because I coudn't figure out what else I could do. I put papers and cards in one. Used a smaller one for first aid.

They cost too much to ship. I think jena gave hers to someone on the watch forum.
