I was fooling around and just happened to stumble across this brand.  Seems to be new, as you have to reserve one of their watches.  Take a look:

Stølås is Norwegian apparently...
The Å can be writen AA. Prononced "Steulos"...Well, approximatly.
Looks ok but but maybe missing originality...
The palm-tree dial isn't my taste.
Thanks for the link!

Thanks. I've seen this before. Graham referred me to it. I like the Harbormaster the best but there's something missing from the look. It's ok but I still can't put a handle to what it is that's missing...crap.gif

I kind of like the look but not the price. But to actually put on the site "Draconian Timepieces"? Found that strange and off putting...

They don't seem to be bad watches aside from the price.  The design reminds me of the Christopher Ward diver a bit.

And what is Draconian about them?

Being limited editions I can understand the price but now I am wanting a shot of Vodka for some reason.

Let's take a bottle out of the freezer and throw the corksubtlelaugh.gif
The problem with watches who looks like many others is that they don't look so limited...
Another glass please...

highly doubt these watches even get near Switzerland....it's a Ulysses Nardin Maxi Marine knock-off more than likely using the Asian replica case/bracelet with a different dial but not far off...dog smile.gif

I think you're right Oscar...
Seems also like making watches is just the new trendy business...
New "companies" grows like mushrooms.
This remember me the Sonbol

Thing is I would not even pay half price for those. Nothing unique about them and they are homage in nature which kind of kills the LE value to me.

I like them but the second hand seems very cheesey to me, that would put me off completely.
