Never hear before. Same vein as Kadloo, Sandoz, Bulova (the current one) methinks?

Yup yup. Rolex lugs are max 21mm for current pieces. The usual suspects are 20mm.
I am imagining the grovana to be 22mm, based on the proportion, assuming case size is 40mm.
Don't waste money lah.

Btw, Wins at Bencoolen carries Bulova, at the shop opposite the handphone shop (wins has two shops there). The Bulova subs come in similar flavors: GMT, lv, ln. Kadloo is carried by that shop near the escalator.

Sometimes I wonder if these come from the same contract manufacturer.

GROVANA is the maker for STEINHART as well as DeBAUFRE which is "STEINHART for U.S".
Hence, you might be seeing significant resemblence on the divers watch from all 3 brands, STEINHART, DEBAUFRE, as well as GROVANA.

No idea about the price of GROVANA range though... but if the price falls below $600, it will be a good buy as comparable to STEINHART from GNOMON.

From looking on the Internet, it seems like Grovana has been making watches since 1924. Apparently they also have the name rights to Revue Thommen. The only new Grovana watches I can find all have quartz movements. I did find some used ones that supposedly have automatic movements. What about Diesel watches? I know everyone has heard of them but which watch company makes them?
