I cant say ENOUGH GREAT things about this watch. HUGE heft. its 18mm Deep. SOLID. really solid.316 steel case. Sapphire crystal. keeps amazingly accurate time. (Auto, caliber 6300 ?? ) super smooth movement. The band, well. actually I bought a Diesel watch from across the big pond just on a chance it would fit this beast. (26mm straps) and it fits PERFECTLY, The watch on this band weighs a whopping 280 grams. the head alone weighs 170 grams.Going to start with a Pilot Instrument,
Ronin, this looks ok. First time I've seen this brand. Is that an AP style bracelet? Can't seem to make it out....How's the lume?
As for the Lume? one of the coolest I have ever seen. The entire face which is black, when exposed to the briefest of lights, turns this crazy, military green. like an old instrument panel?
This brand, "Nautec No Limit" is made by Formex.... The cases, bracelets packaging is all the same as the higher end Formex watches.
The difference is no suspension system, lower end movements, ie. Myota auto, chinese auto chronos, they do use swiss ETA quartz chronos is some also.
Otherwise..same qaulity build and materials as the higher end Formex watches
