Del 4,463 Posted July 19, 2017 Yes, I do prefer the Samurai. I have the samurai it's bloody brilliant! Saw it at a dealer in the in the Vistasur centre on the corner but was €490 creation have them at £370 I've been into "my shop" and they'll discount it to 400 Euros - slightly better than Creation. Sorely tempted but I've already bought the Certina, which I love btw. What to do, what to do....:dunno: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sakurai 1 Posted July 19, 2017 It's a close call as they have different strengths, but for me the Samurai edges past the Turtle. Really love the edge'y design of the Samurai case, and of course the Blue Lagoon theme looks amazing on them both. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NFleischer 4,355 Posted July 19, 2017 I say resist Del. You just got a Blue SS Diver type watch, these are quite similar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Khronos 1,339 Posted July 20, 2017 I don't like the way the blue on the dial doesn't match the blue on the bezel. It just looks wrong.. I'd go for a black Samurai, now that looks the balls. And about the Creation and local price difference - don't you guys in the UK have to pay VAT and customs fees too? It's a no brainer for me, I have to pay 22% VAT plus about 10€ handling fee on top of purchase price and shipping... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SuperbMonster 4 Posted July 20, 2017 I heard a rumour that Mickey Mouse wears a NCRich wristwatch! Buy the Samerai and then sell it on M2M, preferably to me :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Khronos 1,339 Posted July 20, 2017 You got me really interested in this watch, so I went to do some research and it appears that the new Samurai has a lot of QC issues, misaligned crown being the most common issue. It's of course easier if you can see it in person before purchase, like in your case, but other members should be cautious!
