I have recently come across a German made dive watch by the name of NIVREL "Deep Ocean" under a $1000 US, which was just released in 2011. They originally sold out of their first run after launching in Basel 2011, but are caught up on production now. I have read some good reviews and viewed some really great photo's here

The truth is, I have had a really hard time finding much about NIVREL online, but I like what I see. I really like the look of this piece, which is why I have jumped head in, and ordered this watch so I can have something to use if I don't want to wear my new EXP II 216570.
Although it might be a little late for my purchase, any real world feedback out there? Thanks!
