  Great watch and they have many great watches on there website, so a year fom now, this beatiful watch will cost $250 not $850 as it it at the moment, and obviously a frew watch is Free, but you, alomg with all the other free watch grabber's on KZread are keeping the prices artificially high. I am not critiszing the watch, I am critisizing You. Here is a small example 5 years ago. I bought a San Martin for about $35. now the exact same watch and movement is $120-. so really who is being used here? Not you! But all the poor schmucks that watch channels very similar to your. You get a free watch an "US" get f@@@ked price wise, Chinese advertising is great, it virtually cost them nothing, Of course, if you disagree, please feel free to let me know. I know inflation, but if you use the example that I mentioned earlier, Do you feel a 80% increse is warrented?

  I'm sad that you have such a negative outlook towards watch reviewers. Every company in the world sets aside an advertising budget, to bring in new customers and fans. From McDonald's to Nike. Without this, businesses can't continue to grow. Small watch brands don't do typical advertising like TV, billboards or newspapers. They go right to the heart of the target audience with us reviewers. They send a watch, with no promise of a positive review, and hope for the best. Fact is, watches out there exist at these low prices you talk of. Go find them and buy them! You don't have to buy the ones that choose to work with reviewers like me. Regarding the silly price you suggest for this watch '$250'... You won't even find the movement inside of this watch for that much. Throw in the American assembly where people are actually getting paid a fair living, and yes, the watch is much more expensive than your typical San Martin homage.

  If you actually know anything about marketing, It's called Pushing Price, the Americans started it, but the Chinese seem to have mastered it. Here is a challenge for you. Spend the whole month reviewing watches,from snywher, even chins, but try to review ones that are not reviewed by your bretheren of free watch grabbers. I guarentee that you sell the majority of your Free watches to add to whatever income that you get from KZread. I bet you canny do it. Good Luck!

  It’s not for everyone but adding in aging isn’t so terrible. Modern violin makers for example will do antiquing so it more resembles old Amatis, strads, del jesu for example. It’s not frowned upon and is a skill in itself.

  You've kinda just answered your own question with your latest comment. A watch is about the looks. This version of the watch looks beautiful. Why? Why not. The 'factory fresh' version is the most historically accurate. The other two pay respect to the watches after use in the field. And I agree! Aging dials like this is a skill in itself. Especially when they look that good under macro! The dial actually looks like it's 70 years old. That ain't easy to do.

  I much prefer this concept of artificially aging a watch than what Longines did with their reissue, where they painted little specs to look like there was oxidation going on. That said, I would still prefer the factory fresh variant and have it patina on my wrist.

  It was all going great until the price. All visible elements are fantastic, both looks and materials, and kudos for the aging part, but movement choice is just bad. Who needs higher beat movement with small seconds, and then the ghost date... It was just for the sake of it being Swiss made...meh. Oh, great find btw!

It's either that of the black tip... but I can't justify the difference in price (even wit hthe movement) and the blacktip is kind of way over the top - hardened titanium and a blacket out dial...???

  It's a nice watch. But I don't think it was meant to look like my Seiko Alpinist. This one looks more like a diver's watch. And it's no way as beautiful as my Alpinist. Mine looks like a dress watch (no compass bezel) with six numbers and has a date at the 3 with a bulb magnifier like a Rolex. But I could not find any Rolex I liked. After ten years of searching, I found the perfect watch, the dark green Special Edition Seiko Alpinist I ordered from Japan. At $60, though, I. might buy it.

Otherwise it runs, feels, and looks very solid. There are many more Timex watches to try: Just to name Q Timex, Expedition North Titanium, Ironman, Marathon, and I think yoj should give the indiglo chronographs chance with other designs, like Expedition or Weekender

  The Lorus watch here is around $95 U.S. It would be cheaper, given the exchange rate, to buy it at the approx. $40 Euro price at your link and have it shipped to the US. The exchange rate today (May 28) is 1.09 usd to 1 euro. So it makes no sense that it would cost more that twice as much at Amazon US.
