  1. I have bought a couple of microbrand watches over the past couple of months.  Thought it might be nice to give it a try.  I am done.  I ended up with a watch that honestly I like but it was not really what it appeared on the website.  It was supposed to be a white dial with bright yellow markers.  End result the dial is cream, so the strong contrast I was expecting does not exist.  They claim that that is the correct color of the lume.  I know the pure white can be done as I own two other watches that have it.  So I kept it anyway as I still like it, just not in the way I had intended.  Also the case is real thick.  Then I saw another which looked like a neat twist on a 5513.  Ordered that one and again, it is not quite fully cooked.  No screw down crown, the dial is a sandwich but the cutouts are very narrow and do not let much of the lume show through making it look darker than in the pictures.  I tried to send back some feedback, but the guy took it the wrong way and got all bent out of shape.  There are a couple of other minor issues that I will not get in to but.  Either way I will throw a new band on this one and decide if I keep it or not.  Anyway, my point is that honestly alot of my reps are better quality and honestly I like them better.

  2. to me it sounds like the OP has limited funds and the funds he has realistically need to go to more important things such as kids and life expenses.  If this is the case then I strongly suggest reevaluating your desires and living wit ha rep and not spending precious money on a Gen watch at this point in your life.  Honestly I will not be buying Gen high end watches such as the ones you are quoting as it is just too much money, and I do love most of the reps I own and they make me perfectly happy.  I would also be scared to death to wear a 2000 watch and hurt it on a day to day.
