Comparing Three Diver Tool Lume Torches

Putting the Seiko Black Monster 2nd Generation, Seiko Sumo and Orient M-Force 1st Gen together to look at size and shape. All of great lume, reasonable build quality at their price point, and hand-winding option.

But if pushed, I prefer the M-Force. Part of its appeal is the aggressive bezel, stamped steel corrugations along the edge. I love that style. Another plus: The Orient has sapphire while the others have Hardlex synthetic mineral crystal. And the M-Force on Amazon is $283 while the Sumo is generally about $550. But all 3 are excellent choices.

I'm beginning to love that M-Force, and the whole Orient M-Force series - along with the Beast and the newer titanium model (although I might not be able to get around the lightness of titanium).

I think the word "aggressive" for the bezel works; the same with the Revolver, which is similar but more "edgy" (literally and perhaps metaphorically).

I'm not buying anymore watches until I sell most of the dozen or so that I'm trying to get rid of, but your M-Force is one of the next watches I'll get.
