Good things come in group of five?

So my five watches arrived already. And here's my initial thoughts:

• Ocean7 LM-7 1000m
  
  I know I *almost* sworn I would not get a LM-7 because the new Omega SMP Ploprof 1200m with co-axial 8500 movement is out. BUT ... I changed my mind when I came around a fine sample of LM-7 at a very attractive price. I still think the new Omega Ploprof is my grail and wish to own one someday. May be this LM-7 will be my "test drive" for the size and feel of wearing it.
  
  So on to the LM-7. This package came with both the black Ploprof style rubber strap and Ocean7's "5 links" bracelet. I haven't tried it on the bracelet yet, but the rubber strap match the watch really well. I do have to say that the fit and finish is not up to par with Omega's offering, but the price tag is not USD$9000 either. :p The LM-7's bezel lock button is a little stiff, making it difficult, if not impossible to use the bezel with just one hand or with the watch on the wrist. And in both locked and unlocked positive, the bezel is some side to side play on it. Its not horrible, but its not great neither. Keep in mind again, I am not paying USD$9000 for it ... LOL :p
  
  The sapphire bezel is nice to look at, and the lumed markers are great. Its not as detail nor clean as the new Omega Ploprof. And one thing I worry about is the reliability of the bezel insert, from bubbling, or how the bezel insert is going to handle water in the long run, etc. But I figure at the price that I paid for it, I can live with the *risk*. For the price of the new Omega Ploprof, I would expect it to least at least 15-20 years without any degrading.
  
  The size of the LM-7 is good. The short lug-to-lug size makes it easy to wear for my wrist size. The watch is large, but doesn't feel overly large. But if I wear the watch tight, then the crown at 9 will dig into my wrist. Luckily, I don't like wearing my watch tight any way.
  
  The crown is large and easy to use, smooth screwing in and out of the crown tube. The Swiss Sellita SW200 movement is smooth to wind. I haven't check the timing of it yet.
  
  The lume *seems* to be good. I haven't really do a lume test on it yet. But I expect it to last through the night with ease.
  
  One thing I do like the LM-7 over the new Omega Ploprof is that the LM-7 has drilled lugs. that makes changing strap much easier.
  
  
• Marathon SAR
  
  This is my "I-don't-even-remember-how-many" Marathon SAR and I am certainly famility with it. After all these time (I guess since 2001 of its introduction), I still think its one of the best value in dive watches. It has all the goodies you want from a dive watch that's user friendly (and I don't even dive!): WR300M, sapphire crystal, large easy to use crown for winding (when dry), tall and easy to use bezel, easy tell the time, great lume, drilled lugs for easy bracelet to dive strap change, diver's extension on bracelet clasp. The watch and bracelet feels solid and its just a joy to wear.
  
  
• Casio G-Shock GW056CJ
  
  I had the GW056 before and I really liked the slim profile and size of it. But I wished for a reversed LCD for a stealthy look but unfortuniately, that's not available for US version of the GW056. This GW056CJ is a JDM 2006 special edition. It has a dark grey case and strap, and very stealthy reversed LCD. The matter in fact, I think the reversed LCD is too stealthy and now I am a little worried about the "viewability" of the time during less-than-optium lighting. Luckily, the duration of the auto-EL is adjustable and it can be set up to 3 second to make it easier to read the time. Besides the reversed LCD, having only 60 min for both STW and CDT is the thing that worries me and may push me into letting it go later. But time will tell.
  
  
• Casio G-Shock G9000-8V Storm Trooper
  
  I got this one as an inpulse buy cause of the great deal. I expect it to be a beater and I will use it as one. You just never know when you will need TWO 1000hr chronograph. :-)
  
  
• Casio G-Shock GW810D (SS bracelet + reversed LCD)
  
  I bought this one at a beater price, and it sure looks like a beater when it arrives. That's fine cause I am not going to baby this one neither ... LOL :p
