Part of Lior's umbrella of watches. Usually found at slopNBC or outlets. Certainly very little Swiss about them.;)

Some have a Swiss movement. I picked this one up about two years ago. Not to bad. If I recall I got it for under $300 and it dose have a exotic deployant strap nad a Eta 2824 in it. ;) Attachment: SLP001.jpg (Downloaded 96 times)

Is the only Swiss connection that they are legendary/fabled there?... "Swiss Legend" = Asian Reality? :P

Thanks guys, I think we can kill this thread now. It might get vulgar by day's end. Angelo

All I can say about them is that my brother has bought three of them and had problems with all three. (I think that he must be a slow learner.)

Never owned one...never will. It's a "made-for-TV" brand. That said, my experience with Lior has been good.

I had one SW, was not impressed once I got past the "shiny shiny things" stage and I sent it back. For the money they were asking for that Daffy Diver and winder you could buy a lot of real watch! It sure was pretty though

I own two Swiss Legends. One uses an 18 jewel Swiss automatic movement - Claro, I believe. Seems accurate enough, although I understand these movements don't have the best rep. But, for $180 with a travel winder, I can't really complain. It's actually pretty attractive - black PVD with a black dial and pretty good lume including the luminous chapter ring. Bracelet is a POS, though. I took out three links, and I don't think any of them had matching friction pins. The other is a quartzie. Fit and finish are pretty good. Price was right. My biggest gripe (and this is with myself - nobody forced me to do this...) is that it's hard to tell the time with silvertone hands on a silvertone carbon fiber dial. Bracelet on this one is pretty nice - it's a substantial watch. If only I could see the time on it...
