Picked this up during a family holiday to Thailand last week - LE Sumo SPB029J1. These are a Thai limited edition, made for King Power duty free's 25th anniversary.
This is my 3rd Sumo (Blue, LE Black previously) and this one is definitely my favourite. Love the colour, wave dial and sapphire crystal. Only small gripe is the cyclops - but its only a small gripe.
As a bit of a heads up, these are available in Thailand at the moment at 35% discount, which brings the price almost in line with the standard models.

I'll have to put my velatura
^ love that!
I dug this one out from the depths this morning. Actually, although its been in mothballs I really love this model!
Note to self: must wear more often...
(sorry for the crap pic... its the one thing that Blackberry still can't get right!)

From the manual
used in calculating the maximum safe surfacing speed from thr depths marked on the inner ring. When the rotating bezel index is at 12, the number (read in seconds) on the bezel which aligns with the depth markings is the minimum time for surfacing. For example, when surfacing from a 6 meter depth, the minimum surfacing time should be 20 seconds, at 12 meters; 40 seconds etc. Based on a maximum safe surfacing rate of 18 meters/min.
I just re dived this today - now with better bezel and official shroud (was fitted with an am one)
I'm putting together a 'beater' from parts (in mods and wrecks)- I'm really pleased with this - December '95 I believe(it'll be 21 this year)
