That looks great! Really like the texture on the dial.

commented on Fossil? ·

I've owned a few and have never been disappointed. Good value for the money. Not a watch snob here. I own watches that have cost close to $2k and ones I paid less than $30. I enjoy them all. Fossil has some real gems if you look for them. A few years back they released a few Swiss automatics that were well done and they currently have Miyota autos in their lineup that look decent. The founder of Fossil started Shinola. And one thing I have noticed from both brands, though they are separately owned, is that the leather straps they use tend to be better quality than some of the higher brand watches I own.

Very nice. A little known history is that Oris was sourcing movements pre-2005 from ETA. After 2005 is when they went with Sellita.

What's your website? I would recommend you read the articles on Fratello on VPC. One of their writers recently ventured on creating their own watch brand (VPC) and documented the process. The articles are in the "Build a Watch Brand" link in the article I am attaching here for you. I think there is a wealth of information you could learn from it. https://www.fratellowatches.com/introducing-the-vpc-type-37hw/

commented on What's your opinion on affordable mecaquartz chronographs? ·

Seiko does an excellent job with these type of movements. I can also recommend Timex Intelligent Quartz watches which were discontinued. Great value for anyone who is looking.

I'm with you. I wear a tie most days, just like I wear a watch. It's class.

Citizen with cal.9011

First post here. I purchased a Citizen NB1041-84L earlier in the year and it's gone way above my expectations. For an under $500 made in Japan watch,...
