Congrats O...That's a nice looking piece:)

The only thing I know about ARBUTUS is it's a US brand with ASIAN movement as I was told by the local AD here in SG...

And I should have mentioned, as Nando probably knows, Arbutus is big in HK, Mainland China, SG, Taiwan ROC, and just moving into UK and Germany.

When I say big, I mean they are in boutique shops, advertise in mags, etc . . .

Very interesting to know................most "Asian" watches, we don't have a clue, so it's nice to know that these are backed by a quality company the is a real manufacturer!  Thanks for the info, Marc! :)

Arbutus uses Asian movements, but I don't believe they are sourced from SeaGull, as many other brands are.

Really briefly, Arbutus is owned by a consortium that also is a licensed supplier to Lvmh (Louis Vuitton); the parent company of TAG, Zenith and others. So the same factory that pops these watches out, also makes cases, dials and straps/bands for mid-high end watches.

When I first brought the brand in, I was as "Wow" as Oscar is. To be seen to be believed.

Ty again Everyone ! The Lume is very Good....Super Bright to begin w/a Slight variation a few hours later but still quite ledgeable....I haven't really worn it ,but have moved it to a winder for the break-in period as the Time is Variant to the Position it sits...so far though the Eureka is Quite accurate ...more to Come in the Following Days Crowe...the Explorer style is a Great Alternative if You are Not into High Polished...and The Eureka is Mirrolike in Its Finish...No Doubt About That! I am sure this watch Would Look Awesome on a Strap but the Fit at the Lugs is So Accurate I would'nt Want to even Disturb it ....So Far this is a very Good Purchase!..Marc included a Super Polishing Cloth and it is getting Good Use
