Wt... this brand again..ongwenghing wrote:Just found out this

But seems like not gonna be success, not much backer/supporter for this, my opinion mainly because
1. the German inspired brand name - will make those peoples related it to something like "Hitler" and "the Nazi" because it is also a military watch
2. price at high side by using cheap Chinese manual movement
Any view ??

Was interested in the automatic mechanical version but the price was abit higher than i expect. The Steinhart Racetimer is about €50 more but comes with a Valjoux movement. Hmm. Guess i,ve been spoiled by Steinhart pricing. LOL!!ongwenghing wrote:A very nice Bullhead Chrono with Seiko movement. Already successfully funded in Kickstarter within 3 hours it listed

My main concern is this movement is very new. And from experience, movements may have "teething" problems when 1st released. And getting service maybe an issue. Anyway, i,m very tempted by the automatic white panda. But i prfer the layout of the mecaquartz panda. Ie i prefer the look of the registers ln left and right, instead of up and down.

Some feels that the ETA/Valjoux 775x movements is reliable becos it had been regarded as workhorse grade calibre for a long period of time, compare to SEIKO's NE88.
Some may consider SEIKO's NE88 is more reliable than that old SWISS calibre becos of modern day engineering that corrects flaws in accuracy as well as operation.
Actually, when we look from a wider angle, both positive views are correct as different folks have different exposure when it comes to their first timepiece with either movements that gave them the positive impressions.
Personally... for long term ownership, i will go for 775x movements. Parts are widely available, and watchmakers handling such movements are available, hence much more economial than NE88 which is currently regarded as much complex to handle, with challenging parts availability.
Crazy expensive. Micros are really starting to be main stream in pricing. Guess my hopefully soon to arrive SCS watch will be my only microEd.YEO wrote:This is got to be the most expensive 9015 dive watch
