rwgforumfan Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 (edited) I'm thinking about picking it up. Does it look like a high quality watch in person to the untrained eyes even though it has a lot of flaws or the fit and finish is a step down from other higher end reps from the cartel? Thanks!

jmb Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 It's a nice watch in it's own right and mine came with a Miyota movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woof* Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Pretty nice watch ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 As JMB said, it's a fantastic watch when viewed in its own right: Not ideal for a project in so much as swapping in gen parts, but an absolutely awesome watch in its own right, as Woof*'s photos show (NATO strap not included in the order) Out of the box, it is at the very least shower/bath/swimming pool water-resistant, and makes for a great daily beater (not ideal for suit wear, but would be acceptable for thus on a bracelet) At the moment, mine's on what can only be described as a cross between a NATO and a cuff-strap which I threw together from some webbing scraps (no photo available at present...) All I can say, is buy one, you won't regret it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StormTooper4 Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Here's with the stock (totally wrong clasp wise) bracelet: That looks great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datlore001 Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Slick looking piece. Not bad for $125. What kind of quartz movement does it have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmb Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Mine was Miyota OS-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingEdward Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Now I want one of these :-( Which TD are people using for this ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whatever123 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 I've got one of those too. Didn't really speak to me... then I bought a NATO for it, the same one woof has - and suddenly I like it a lot. Wore it for two weeks on vacation.

Ephry73 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 I may get one of those with the black dial. I actually like that clasp for another watch. E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woof* Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 You know this is a 22mm bracelet Ephry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Now I want one of these :-( Which TD are people using for this ? Mine was aqcuired through trade, but was originally from JMB's contact (J, is that pic you posted mine, or the replacement you ordered?) I would recommend WatchEden as a source Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ephry73 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 ^^^Well isn't there a taper? :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woof* Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 ^^^Well isn't there a taper? :/ I'm sure there is, I don't have it in front of me. Just makin sure you wernt wanting it for a 20mm bracelet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highoeyazmuhudee Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 very good for the price! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ephry73 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 I'm looking at an invicta oyster bracelet that is 20mm thick and would look rather nice on the tudor(this is just to try it out guys) and wanted to see what the no taper 20mm bracelet would look like on the Tudor chrono. Of course, this is just all dreaming now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmb Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Mine was aqcuired through trade, but was originally from JMB's contact (J, is that pic you posted mine, or the replacement you ordered?)

TeeJay Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 I'm not sure, probably "yours" as the one I have now is identical... I just wondered if it might've been a stock photo rather than a new photo Did you keep the black dial variant as well, I remember you ordering both, and then trying to decide which variant to keep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeJay Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 The black one went to live with someone else... Ahh, now I know where Tom Cruise picked up the watch he wore in Mission Impossible:Ghost Protocol I do like the black dial variant, but must admit, I prefer the grey dial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmb Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 It was a tough decision... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 It was a tough decision... They are nice, but I figure there're other black dial chronos, the grey Heritage is something a little different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
