Hi Marius,

You can buy and wear what ever makes you happy.

I never heared about this brand so I made a quick research. It seams that they are based in Singapore and making homage watches. For example homages of Citizen Promaster Diver

The model you showed looks like a homage of the Orient Kamasu

Which is actually weired. Because homages (design copies) makes only sense if they copy a more expensive watch to offer an affordable alternative.

But Orient Kamasu and Citizen Promaster are actually one of the best affordable watches you can get.

So I don't know the price and it's specs of the ratio and your budget.

But if you want this design, buy the original Orient Kamasu, it has sapphire christal, manufacture movement, screwed down crown, an own design and it's an icon for around 180€.

I have the Freediver automatic 1000m. With Helium Escape Valve. Wore it for about a year. Nice heavy watch. NH36A movement. Only problem I had was that the clasp lock (or what you call it) fell off. Seller refunded me 20 euro. Oh and as I think of it.… read something about problems with setting the time. 
I have the Citizen Promaster NY0108. Titanium. Was limited run for Italian market. 1000 pieces made.

I have seen this brand before at Creationwatches. Sounds more like a Seiko homage, but not my cup of tea. I definitely prefer the Seiko originals. But each one does according to his desires, his means. When I'm broke (which won't be long), maybe I'll change my mind.😉🤣

Yeah it's absolutely fine to buy and collect this piece. I have seen Ratio on the Creation watch's web site. They look like a good cost effective way to get into some serious watch collecting.
