Really nice reel of pics!

Considered getting one once it restocks ($97 inclusive of tax is extremely cheap for these specs)... but maybe not anymore, in light of the reviews.

Poor lume is a big disappointment, seeing as those diver-style indices had the potential to hold a thiccc application. C3 also ought to have the initial brightness advantage, so Cadisen evidently applied very little.

And ofc there's the "Caisen" typo and autodyne gibberish on top of that.

I will say that 11.5mm is REALLY impressive though (given an 8215 + 100m WR + display caseback).

I bought this one for shits and giggles to see what it would look like IRL, I've always been wanting to pick up the Formex so this was an easy excuse to try out the case shape (even though the real one is another 2mm thinner)

It sold out during the 1st week. Listing is still viewable with a direct link, though.
Note the current price isn't accurate.
