TY,CJ for the Awesome Pics!hand6.gif There are many Brands that use this movement but it is far from what was advertised:( At $399. it still may be a very well made Watch but the selling point to me was the Chronometer grade eta (supposedly a one time deal before it goes back up to $699. as Stan/Panatine wrote here)...which this Watch does not have.Because a movement is stamped eta does not always mean it is all Swiss from what many WIS are finding out...not all eta movements pass grade at eta or even work after assembly and instead of disassembling them and making them right(very costly) it is cheaper to sell the bulk bad batch (most likely to an asian co.)and resold after they replace the faulty part/parts...this is an alleged/theory and hasn't been proven or should I say revealed in the secretive World of watchmaking!...as far as the Nauticfish being a part of Lindberg & Benson has not been proven yet and Mike over at the German forum is researching this as well from Germanyhand6.gif In any case Panatime.com/Stan has done exactly what Lyndon has done and that is misrepresent His product whether He knew or not.coyote2.gif
So what's the bottom line? Is it still worth the price? If so, why bother lying about the particulars of the movement?
