It looks alright, but the sellers feedback wasn't very good. I hope everything goes alright for you.

i will keep you guys posted, and yes his feedback is hard to understand. it seems most thought it was a great watch but the last guy i think had some kind of beef with the seller. i used paypal and as i said i took a chance, i hope it works out. On another note, Skip i just noticed you are 8 post shy of 10,000 maybe sometime this weekend you will hit that mark. i always take note of your insights! thanks! ThumbsUp02.gif

I've never seen one of these before.  It looks nice enough, but I am always a bit skeptical about those brands who market as direct from the factory (in China) at less than 10% of "MSRP", somehow managing to supply the watch in a box that looks like it costs $50 alone.

Good luck.

ok, the watch has arrived and it is indeed the real deal. the weakest points are the lume and the strap. other then that it is a good deal for $175. the watch itself is very well made. i am not a fan of crocodile straps so i think it looks too dress for me and the lume last only a few hours. i would say it is an ok maybe a little better then ok deal for a imho good looking watch. i just returned from the stanley cup and the tigers game and will try to get a few photos up. i know this is a short review but i running late to pick up the kids sorry ;);)

Maybe if you put it in the sun some minutes the lume will get a kick start...Is the watch really Swiss made or is it from somewhere close to Beijing...Is the band really croc...is the Cosc stuff they mention for real, do they give a certificate and the whole shebang? Most of all, do you really think it is worth the purchase price...of course, not counting the box.

Sorry, I am trying to be the devil's advocate here...this company seems to also make other models.

Was on them net-site...Nothing suspicious to me.
Registrered in .CC domain?face4.gif

So here is the answer on the .CC stuff:

The .cc domain suffix is the top-level domain (TLD) for the Cocos Islands. However, it is commonly used as an alternative to the ".com" suffix for commercial Web sites.

The .cc suffix is convenient because it is short and easy to say. However, not all Web hosting companies support .cc domains and they are not offered by many domain name registrars. Therefore, it is usually better to use an alternate domain name with a .com, .net, or .org suffix instead of selecting a .cc domain name.

So this watch is COCOS or what?subtlelaugh.gif
Well, at list it look great for the buks!!
CONGRATULATION!

I think these watches were named after Sultan PANTAR of the Philippines.
