Hi Ianmedium, I've seen these on ebay myself and interested as it would make a smart beater, what is the size of the face and lug width ? (I have a nice spare metal bracelet that would suit it)
many thanks

Oceanus Arrives!
Hi Guy's
The oceanus 1st generation that I ordered from ebay seller jj_watches arrived today. My camera's batteries died so the attached wristshot is extremely poor, I will post better one's once my batteries are charged!There is one stock one attached as well to show in better detail the watch.
First impressions are of a very well made watch, solid weighty stainless steel construction, blued second hand and alarm hand, sapphire crystal.
the dial is white with a beautiful diamond pattern engraved, the numbers are polished metal finish.
A nice padded leather strap complements the watch perfectly I think!
There is a sunken button on the side of the case at the 2 o'clock position that can be pulled out to activate the alarm.
I hope it is OK to mention this but I want to say what a positive experience I had from the seller, he went out of his way to help me get the watch as I had special circumstances. He was prepared to wait for the payment to come through a longer time scale and once payment arrived mailed the watch out the same day!
The watch came will all protective stickers in place and very well packaged, it came exactly as described. I got the watch for $35 but he had raised the price to $39 after I had ordered mine, still great value for this watch I believe, list new was $180!
I will be buying my next G shock from him!
I have never had so many new watches arrive in such a short space of time..I love it!
Thanks Guys, better pictures in the next few days!

Have had the watches for a few days. I'm very impressed with the value of these Oceanus. Easily on par with some $300 Victorinox or Wenger models.
The fit, finish and attention to detail is evident. What I like best is the embossed dial and applied markers that's usually found on higher priced watches like the Seiko Premier line (not Premier quality yet though).
I don't think there's a better looking time/date/alarm quartz currently.
Specs wise, you get solid end links, push button clasp, accented links, sapphire crystal, screwdown crown and 100m WR. The bracelet is not as comfy as say the oyster on JDM Prospex but easily the equal of a recent Seiko 5.
This is THE ebay deal for watches under $100 for me.

I completely agree with your thoughts! The dial is what get,s it for me, really fine detail! Also I like the way the polished and brushed finish complement each other, this watch shines like no other I have owned.Have had the watches for a few days.

As you say, it's the watch on ebay for under $100!
Thanks for the review and I hope you continue to enjoy them, would be great to see some pic's of yours!

I like the hidden alarm button best. Preserves the symmetry of the very pleasantly shaped case.
Hi RPF,
I'm very impressed with your photos and with the quality of both watches. Usually that level of attention to details is reserved for watches that cost 10 or 15 times the Oceanus' price.
Very nice watches. Congrats on both.
PS: Cool avatar. I am a longstanding admirer of penguins. They have resilience, patience, grace, and an amazing sense of community. That's a Master of G that I'm still waiting for, by the way --one with a penguin mascot.
