Just received this today. My first Russian Diver (my first 52mm too!). This was given to me by a very generous friend from another forum. I've always wanted to try a larger watch (biggest one before was 48mm) but never pulled the trigger. Now I know that I will definately be getting more! I'm really loving this. For those who may not be familiar with it, it's the Invicta Offshore Russian Diver. It's 52mm in dia, 16mm thick, and has a 26mm bracelet. I'm impressed with the comfort level. Maybe it's just the right size for my wrist (about 8-1/4"). Now that I know I can comfortably wear something this size, I look forward to picking up a few other "biguns" - like a SANIII, SAS, and maybe a cool Nixon I saw one of my students wearing.          Thanks for allowing me to endulge my POS ("Picture Overpost Syndrom")

Congrats and ENJOY! That's a great gift to receive! Just think, if it's comfortable (the size) . . . it just may open the door to a number of larger diameter models. Thanks for sharing your pics!

Very nice. I gave up on my strap RGQ version but these bracelet versions may wear better. I'm glad it is comfortable for you. Enjoy it and wear it often. It is definitely an attention getter.
