dave47 6,416 Posted April 24, 2019 Hi, Gang! As I noted several nights ago on weekly wristies for the week of 04/22/19, I'm posting a quick tour of another SO & CO (a/k/s S0CONY) I purchased & debating whether to keep or not. It's a water resistant (literally -- 100m) homage to the ROLEX YACHTIE w/ blue dial; I posted a comparison of this SO&CO watch with my good ROLEX YACHT MASTER rep on Monday evening. I'm just not certain about keeping it or just returning it for a refund from the seller on amazon.com. As noted then, it's a sizable piece @ 43.5mm w/crown x 12.1mm wide & weighs in at 112 grams, which isn' bad for a quartz watch. It has a sunburst style blue dial and small date window and cyclops; the bracelet links are solid & appear to be well-made -- along with the case, with no sharp edges. The bezel is unidirectional and is a tinch loose but not serious so. The bracelet, as you can see in the pics are stainless steel with polished center links. The case possesses both a screw down crown and caseback; and as I wrote before, I've had several other SOCONY watches in the pool while swimming with no problems. The GMT hand does work and is independently adjustable -- something one doesn't find too much on a watch priced under $50. It comes with both an outer and inner box, warranty cards and other helpful info. I've been wearing it around the house and looks decent for the beater watch it is; the only question: should I keep this or return it for a refund. Here's several pics of the whole process, from unboxing to the warranty cards. I've included at the end a link to the amazon.com site where you could explore additional info if you wish. Thanks for looking & sorry for my usual PhD dissertation. dave: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Khronos 1,339 Posted April 24, 2019 That's pretty terrible to be honest.. I'd get rid of it and never look back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RussP 21,683 Posted April 24, 2019 I think I've got cataracts, Dave. Nice watch though. If you enjoy wearing it, then hang onto it as it appears to be a good daily beater. (You mentioned $50 and that this isn't your first SoCo) The final choice is yours................go with your gut instinct. Best wishes, Russ. PS: Nice tablecloth.

brang1 3,941 Posted April 25, 2019 if it feels good on the wrist, keep it. You are the best judge of that old mate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mystery Shopper 5,878 Posted April 25, 2019 Nice crown, nice tablecloth- but the rest is too blurry to comment on. Dave, your commentary was all positive mate, so if you like it and it feels good on the wrist, keep it. Otherwise, change your name to cqp777 and sell it for $180 on M2M.

dave47 6,416 Posted April 25, 2019 ...hahaha!! I KNEW I could count on your comics to let me have it!! Some of the comments are right on target: I THOUGHT the camera was in focus; obviously, I wasn't paying attention. I'll go stand in the corner. On the other hand, I DO have about five (5) of these watches, which have been trouble free. That said, I think I will return it for something else I spotted on The Bay THANKS AGAIN, people! I KNEW you'd come through... . dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GenTLe 1,485 Posted April 25, 2019 I'd rather get a NH-35 based Invicta... Not for me, but consider that I truly hate the so called "homages" (apart some very well made ones, like some of the the Dan Henry watches). They really taste of "wannabe" to me. Either go gen or go fully rep. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
