Still clueless as well in regards to what brand this is. Looks like a very well constructed frugal. Those lug screws make bracelet changes simple.

I was hoping someone here on this terrific forum would identify it. Ah well here's the photo's I've just taken with my Lumix DMC-FT1 which are reasonable but not superb.

First is the nice quality leather travel case it came with. Makes a change from the routine boxes one gets with watch buys these days:

Open it up and one gets a nice diver watch inside as well as a secondary compartment for whatever you want. e.g. Isofrane strap?:

The following photographs I have attempted, do not show how well made this watch is. As some of you may have worked out, the Prometheus Sailfish pays homage to its design to the Blancpain 50 Fathoms, Montre de plongee. A large majority of watch owners follow the trend of many by choosing the Rolex Diver range or the Omega and Breitling models. I was one of them, but I secretly desired the 50 fathoms more than any other. The only problems was it was well out of my financial reach. It wasn't until I discovered this Sailfish model when exploring micro brands that I saw how similar it was. The bezel is sapphire crystal and has the lume coated numbers and marking beneath the glass. At night, the watch is amazing to look at and I can read the time all night. Although the watch is heavy, the fit is great. I was able to resize the bracelet easily as it has screw links.

The watch was ordered from the Prometheus Watch Company which is based in Lisbon, Portugal. Shipping around the world to me was included in the price and Carlos sent it FedEx and it arrived at my home in just 7 days.

So far, I am very happy with this buy. I love the dial with Arabic numbers instead of indices and dots which my old eyes take a while to work out the time. I really like the hands as well. The bezel moves precisely at 120 clicks. The crown is screw in and the watch is water resistant to 30 bars. I will swap the bracelet for my Isofrane when next I go snorkelling. All in all I rate this watch highly and excellent value for money. Enjoy the photographs!

I love the styling on that watch and I must say, while I had heard of the brand, I know nothing about them. It looks very well executed. What movement do they use?

That is a lot of watch for the money. Congrats!
