Based upon the recommendation of an MOT member, I ordered and just received this Ratio Freediver, shipped via DHL from Singapore. I love it! Very light on the wrist, unusually thin at 10mm, with great lume, a sapphire crystal and an elegant design. No, I'm not a diver. I'm a watch lover, and, as a painter I really appreciate the aesthetics of the watches I'm attracted to and sometimes purchase.
I think this one works especially well with the Barton strap I chose. Your thoughts?

As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.
I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

Thanks for posting!
Every time I see that watch, I want to get one, but I have resisted. It really does look great, and who can argue against an ultra-reliable quartz diver?

Looks great! Wear it in good health.
I didn’t realize that watch was so thin. Makes me suddenly want one.

Far and wide I will find 'em and I ride 'em
Bricks and mortar get my licks just for kicks
AD or authorized I don't analyze
Retail, wholesale never fail
Online or offline, I find I don't redefine
Too big to fail or yard sale they all hale
Run or hide just for fun deals I find

Looks great on the Barton elite. This has become a favorite watch of mine for travel: good looking, reliable, thin, and inexpensive enough that you don't worry about it. Due to the case shape it also works well on a Eulit 2-piece Perlon strap.
