Should you buy it?

The Ratio Free Diver Helium-Safe 1000M Sapphire Automatic (1068HA90-34VA-ORG) is a great watch, but considering the price it’s offered for, it’s an outstanding deal. It is in no way a rare watch but it is stout as hell and undeniably aggressive in its appearance. It’s quite monstrous (pun intended) to look at and represents an era that preceded the hockey-puck. Though very modern by its standards, it is still on the smaller end of the large watches. Its burliness never seems to be outrageous.
