Visually, this mod is spot on. The black ceramic bezel looks premium against the gold. I’m giving it 4 stars because the bezel was a little stiff to rotate right out of the box. It’s loosening up after a few days of use, but it wasn’t as smooth as I expected initially.

The two-tone finish is applied cleanly with no visible gaps in the gold. It’s been a reliable daily wearer for a week now. I just wish the lume on the indices was a bit stronger; it’s bright at first but fades relatively quickly compared to my other divers.

I like the industrial look of the silver and black combo. The brushing is done well, but the polished bevels on the bezel pick up smudges and fingerprints very easily. It’s a well-assembled piece, but you’ll want to keep a microfiber cloth handy if you like it looking pristine.

The green color is very consistent between the dial and the rubber strap, which is often hard to get right. It has a nice, slim profile that sits flat on the wrist, making it much more comfortable than a bulkier diver. The deployment clasp is secure and well-machined.

The sky blue sunray effect is top-notch and the cyclops magnification is clear. My only minor complaint is that the hidden clasp is a bit stiff to open and close right out of the box. It’s starting to break in after a few days, but it was a bit annoying at first.

Choosing the black leather strap over a bracelet gives this mod a much more understated and classic feel. The deployment clasp is secure and well-machined. It fits comfortably under a shirt cuff, making it my new go-to for business meetings.

This blue Sub mod is a great alternative to the more common black versions. The lume is surprisingly bright and lasts through most of the night. It sits perfectly on my 7-inch wrist and the screw-down crown feels very secure and well-machined.

The skeleton work on this version is a clear step up from the first gen, and the silver finish looks very premium. However, in low-light environments, the silver hands tend to disappear against the silver gears, making it a bit hard to read. It’s a trade-off for such a clean aesthetic.

The “Hulk” look is spot on and it definitely gets a lot of compliments. The watch head itself feels high-quality, but the oyster bracelet has a bit more “rattle” than I’d like. It’s not a dealbreaker, and I might just swap it for a high-quality rubber strap anyway.

The NH35 inside is a workhorse and this one arrived regulated perfectly, running at +3 seconds a day. The cyclops magnification is clear and centered, and the crown threads are buttery smooth. It’s a very well-put-together mod that feels like it’ll last.

The chronograph functions exactly as it should, and the hands reset perfectly to zero every time. I love the “stealth” vibe of the black-on-black look; it’s understated enough for the office but looks incredible under direct sunlight. The movement is keeping great time so far.

The finishing on the mega-tapisserie dial is clean and the silver-on-silver look is very cohesive. It’s a well-made piece, but just keep in mind it wears much larger than its dimensions suggest due to the lug design. It’s a bit of a stretch for my 6.5-inch wrist.
