corsa 0 Posted September 15, 2013 Yep, that's bang on James, The boutique and micro brands are producing some excellent pieces, funny how it sounds like you and Sav are getting/got to where I am at the mo, Reps are great to experience some more of the Higher brands, but there is something about a good micro brand that just floats my boat!!

James. 4 Posted September 15, 2013 The Obris will be the last if my mircos for a while, I've decided on the Oris depth gauge as my next buy, and a SW or SOH... The list continues ugh. Damned 3-timers are just too bloody hard to find. I'm very disappointed with the latest from Halios, lazy design that the crown is Ss on a bronze case. Might pick up a hexa q500, prefer the bezel combo over the auto, I just despise qtz tho... Ffs too many choices. At least in off the black bay train having recently tried a friends on, not for moi.

futbol57102at 0 Posted September 15, 2013 While we're talking about Obris, I figured it might be good to ask this....So the Nevon appears to be sold out via their website. Any chance anyone here (probably EU folks) has purchased through bensontrade.nl ? They appear to have a few of the Nevons in stock...I can't imagine there'd be reps, but I would be worried of a fly-by-night operation that might just take my $ and run.

What's wrong with the Tudor as this was going to be my next Gen buy? I just didnt like the way it felt on my wrist, I love the colours, but I think trying it on on the SS was a mistake. I'd say the watch would benefit from an extra few mm width @ the lugs a la subC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mellons 883 Posted September 16, 2013 I think the first person who receives this should do a mini review- is the watch in the hand as good as the images? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
