while researching a couple of my vintage Swiss Sicura dive watches I came across this Asian Sicura for $148. FYI when most of these Swiss companies fell to the wayside due to the quartz revolution many of the brand names were bought up by a Cantonese businessman....not sure if he owns this brand but I can say I was pleasantly surprised at how well it was made...especially in this price range.hand6.gif
..case,bezel,dial screw-down crown,Miyota 8215 and lume is great...the bracelet is sweet and will fit a 10in wrist but on the light side...overall an excellent buy for $148.and worth more imho.happy guy.gif

...This one has the brushed the SS case... navy blue dial with yellow accents and there is a black/red available as well...also comes in pvd...here is a link to get one along with the specs....more pics to followThumbsUp02.gif

Oscar ...thanks for sharing --- do you think a std. 22mm strap would work on that case?  --- looks like it is listed at 21mm

Not bad for 148 bucks. The profile reminds me of the Seiko SBDX 001 600m Spring Drive diver....one of my grails at 45mm.

I posted about the one i got a little while ago and also remarked what a well made watch it was. certainly well above the price point. And .. ironically enough i was wearing it today on the boat and got home a read this thread. I am amazed every time i wear this watch just how nice it is. It has become one of my favorite watches.

Enjoy wearing yours Oscar...
