I have a couple points beyond going the route of putting the watch into a shill's hands to start the hype and get some quality pix... I never do understand these superficial reviews. I understand they are meant to bolster sales but they are usually rather vapid and applicable from one watch to the other.
As stated by others given the somewhat convoluted origins of the watch (frankly I couldn't bother to follow the trail) I would contend the asking price is a tad on the high side. Of course we see other micor brands with more obvious HK origins asking this type of money so I guess all is fair. However, given a choice between paying a few hundred dollars more for a true Swiss watch with verifiable provenance, I would almost always go for the sure thing unless the design just blew my mind. Which brings me to my next point.
This appears to be another of what I call the HEAVY DIVERS, albeit with some interesting machining on the case sides and a different crown guard. The lumed ceramic bezel is a nice touch but beyond that the dial design and hands set don't speak to me personally.
And then I wonder why Ben would even care what anyone at 3T would think of his venture. Just ask anyone on the other watch forums. We're nothing more than a bunch of crackpots. So rest assured our opinions means nothing. I mean really, many of us actually like Orsa watches!
Rather be a free thinking crackpot than a sheep or kool-aid drinker.
I couldn't piss more on those sorry asses who would call me a crackpot because I hang around here instead of growing slowly crack-hairs on the most visited watch-forum...
I see so much butt-licking on those places that I never felt like even beeing a member under another nick...
Most of them could buy a seagull-crap mounted on bracelet just because it's written a popular name on it, so how could they give any lesson on wise economic choices in watches?
Oh, maybe because them own friends are allways there to pay a good price for those used seagull-craps...That must be it.
PS: Excuse my vulgarity but I don't work in offices so I never learned how to speak under my elbow...
