Very tempted too.
Used to own, for 2.5 years from Sep 2013, a regular version which I sold to gaf1958 / Gary. Great watch which I bought for the cachet of it being a genuine Military watch with NATO stock number.
Now appears to be re-issued with an ETA COSC quartz movement; stonkingly good value for money too.

I tried on one of these a couple of years ago and kind of regret not buying it. I like BP and for me these are an ideal size at 40mm.
Only problem is it’s a blue dial watch that I am looking to add, not another black dial dive watch.

^^^ That's some bezel.
Puts a Yachtmaster to shame.
Love the dial and hands.
Date's a bit sneaky.

^^^^ Yep typical BP date position. The bracelet is a work of art. I reckon I could sell my Milgauss or SubC, buy a BP and have change for a holiday.

I quite like this, but just not enough to buy it.

Even though is has only been 5 days since my latest addition showed up, I have been thinking one of these in grey dial, 41mm, leather or textile strap some time in the next couple of months would work.......after the honeymoon with the current Oris comes to an end of course.
Cheers, Mike.

I can see the similarity; a bit.
