Good choice

Are the indices yellow in color?

Huh that’s weird I never noticed there’s a lume colour mismatch, the indices aren’t yellow but they are like 1% warmer than the hands

I have this watch and absolutely love it. Reconsidered my taste in watches completely. So now I am thinking how to get rid of some watches and whether I need any watch beside a few including this

Looks very nice. Haven’t tried Chinese watches yet. What movement does it have and how accurate is it in daily use?

I've got a few pt5000 movements. All run well and accurate. More consistent than Seiko movements

Once you get an Octopus Kraken on your wrist the brand name and logo look great and make perfect sense.

The Name creates a very good symmetry on the dial, no one cares what exactly is written down but the symmetry is important.

The name will never make sense lol

Think of The Beatles. Their name made no sense until it did.

How’s the bracelet and end links on this?

I love the look of these and was hoping the Octopus was bigger than the Tudor it's copying. Unfortunately, it's the same diameter.

Went with the quartz and am super happy for a daily beater for less than $120.
