 Thanks a lot for the nice comments and the good data, one learns more every day. I actually don't own this watch anymore as I sold it about 10 days ago... Someone asked me about it and he really liked it and wanted it so I gave it away. But I thought that the data on it would be good for whoever could be interested and anyway I know that a WIS loves to see photos...

Nevertheless the case of the watch, which I assume is what is considered to be produced in China, is really nice and well made. Nice quality finish and I think good looking. I was really impressed by the timekeeping of this watch, literally almost like a quartz watch, and the winding so smoooth... I think that WWW does his own regulation and adjusting and he does it professionally. ThumbsUp02.gif

I never heard of Samson but it sounds really interesting and I will check it out. Not that I want to buy another one of these pilot watches at the moment, but it is always good to know what the market offer so that one is not stuck with one or two products only.

Interesting to know about the history of the problems with Debaufre. They had already problems with their former name in the US (Steinhart) and now this... WWW is really small time and this particular watch has been built probably only a handful of times so not sure if it is enough for some big company to bother with, but then again who knows. It would be bad as Chris from WWW is a good guy and his watches are really well made and high quality products...

Anyway, right now I have my sights on a Seiko SRP043 or the Kamikaze diver as it is called in another post... my love.gif
