Nice review. I agree with Jame's impressions. I've had a Laguna for approaching a year now and a very happy with it. Its biggest asset is versatility. It looks great dressed up and yet works well as a proper dive watch. Heartily recommended.

Like it but think is overpriced (new) for no particular reason... nevertheless I wouldn't mind a pre-loved one

I like mine too. My only complaint is some dangerously sharp edges at the lugs, exposed when the bracelet is removed.

I've heard rumors that the case is made in China. Any truth? I'm eyeing a Laguna for my collection.

Canadian micro brand company and like many other smaller companies it probably uses asian made cases. I do not think they try to hide their sources of parts.

Thanks Koimaster, all the reviews I've read are positive. Just need to justify the used price is right for one that has been traded and no Iso vs. new stock available tomorrow.
