Re: S I C / Sharing Is Caring for Micro-brands

No doubt its nice but somehow, the design of the lug end & the bracelet end doesn't seems to sit flush very nice altho Hexa had did improvisation on it. This was one of the factors i considered.

The effect is like fitting a OEM bracelet on it even tho its the stock bracelet.

I tink it look nicer on strap than bracelet ;)

But other than this minor detail, the watch is jin chio de lor

imo, there are many microbrands out there, slowly hunt for a nice one

no doubt NFW is nice but sometimes based on the pricepoint, esp for a miyota 82xx unless its the new miyota 9015.

if not, might as well top up abit more for a ETA microbrand :mrgreen:

Tsovet offers some nice designs

but ultimately, i will pass this.

1250, i assume its in USD.

with this amount, i have other options :mrgreen:

for eg: a preowned Armida A1 Bronze with blue dial

or a nice valjoux 7750 movt watch

No doubt its a nice watch, pvd & such, stealth lookinf but if you ever gets tired of it one day, how much are you gonna sell this?

This brand do not sell easily here, be prepared to be like a bowling lane, with balls rolling all over you :lol:

+1 vote from me! Such good specs, top grade 7750 with good water resistence, hard to find another one in this price range.

Perhaps...

Add Steinhart Apollon Chrono to the list... CEO, how can u forget about your recent precious love...?!

Ok ar, for the price, getting 2 straps is pretty justificable, considering the low cost of a rubber,lol
