KB Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 I just got home from the local mall and whilst there I noticed a display of TW Steel watches in a jewelery store. These are relatively cheap digital watches but with 50mm dials and some sexy combo's they look way cool... http://www.gluestore.com.au/mens/accessories/l/tw_steel.html Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhooq Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 I was recently looking at a CEO Goliath for an article I was writing. It's like a Cartier Tank that's been injecting itself with synthol. Monstrous, but I can't stop looking at it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobster Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Not sure about the superduper size but they do make nice looking pieces.

offshore Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 I have sold a few of these new. (Picked up some heavily discounted stock from a liquidated watch shop) I then found the wholesalers are offering a massive markup from wholesale to RR, so you can expect the bottom to drop out of any perceived value when a few retailers are caught with stock on the shelf, as they will be discounted hugely. Reasonable quality, and attractive enough appearance (to some) but when margins like this are offered I do get a bit leery. Don't need too much tied up in these when push comes to shove.

KB Posted July 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Yeah gotta agree with that, they do look nice but they are still only digital watches. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Fleischer Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 (edited) I bought one, only about 44mm. It has a mineral crystal and so-so dial. I ended up giving it my dad- he loves it. It has a nice IWC style leather band with rivets. Edited July 15, 2011 by Noel Fleischer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elliptical Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 It's a Dutch brand and almost every "I want to look cool and everybody wears one so I must have one too" 21 year old wears one over here. They basically "steal" the designs of well known brands and give it their own twist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxman Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 I always got a U-Boat vibe from most of the TW Steel line,pretty cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliptical Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 Maybe they should change the name to "TW steal". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
