Ocean7 LM-6c Chronograph
Posted by The Breitling Source under Budget Watches , Watch Reviews[5] Comments
Ocean7 makes a very nice looking watch, and I greatly enjoyed the Ocean7 LM-6c I had while I owned it. Great hunky-chunky look, and fantastic curved crystal. Lume was not the greatest, but I’m not really picky about Lume. The skeleton hands look pretty awesome on it too.
I owned it for quite a while, and then decided to sell it recently. I found out that when I bought the watch, the price was $1599, and then now the watch sells for $899, direct from Ocean7. For a company to drop the price so much is pretty drastic, and not much of a service to their customers. But, if that’s how they want to do things, I guess that’s that.
The Ocean7 uses a Valjoux 7750 movement, likely not modifed at all. It is completely swiss made with your typical 316L stainless steel case and Sapphire Crystal. Water resistant to 500m. Its a big watch at 44mm, with 24mm Lug width and includes both the steel bracelet and the strap. Overall a very nice watch for a very reasonable price, especially since the price reduction.

I’ve admired this watch for awhile, and I’ve noticed the price drop. While $1599 is not a bad price for a watch with a 7750, it was a little high and probably appropriately priced at $899. However for a company to do that is ridiculous. Regardless of what people say, resale value is important to a lot of watch collectors and that essentially screws people who bought some of the first run.
It’s still a nice watch but that really puts a sour taste in my mouth.

I just purchased this watch. I am a avid diver and a collector of dive & pilot watches. This is the best value for the money ever the watch is flawless except the lume is really bad. This watch is as good and better looking than rolex sub

Have to agree with you there.. the lume on this one, especially my skeleton hands version, is not very good at all. It is a very nice looking watch, but I would hesistate to say better looking than the Rolex Sub.. as the sub is a very different looking watch!
