Matwatches

Post by chriscentro » 04 May 2015 22:19

Hi bros

I saw this nice watch at E'COLLEZIONE, Mandarin Gallery,SINGAPORE 238897.

Anyone has any experience with this brand? Using ETA 2824, if I'm not wrong it's near $3k, not cheap

not familiar with this brand, but the shop is quite known for selling watches to tai-tais from Indonesia and China. Used to work for a bank and we host our customer's wives in that shop several times...

2824 near 3k. Hmmmm....
I think i will be much more comfortable with respectable label with artistic details... like...

If deciding on aesthetic alone, Doxa vs Matwatches, I'll go for the latter, but having said that, it's still too expensive to me :D

If the consumer is hardworking enough, he/she will try their best to find out which is more reputable. DOXA is a different breed, because it has a long reputation and positive impression in the watch communities in different region to be a maker of diving watches. MAT is a different breed... a new generation one to be exact which is not known to much.

This is a special edition released since the year of the dragon... couple of years back liao.
To date, it is still available because not much young or hippy consumers will take a second look at this old brand. Will it be still continue to be produce, will be dependent on the market response...
I did not have any interest to take in that initially... because my focus falls on the movement, rather than the dial. My focuses is often different from the others, 一芯,二价,三样,四名。This is why i don't have good looking ones. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
