FROGMAN Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 So I've been buying and selling a lot of gen watches lately but all from micro manufacturers (i.e. Helson, Armida, etc...). I've had my eye on a few smaller brands but the one that really stands out is from a company called Raven. Many of you know the name but the same guys that own this brand also own Benarus. I've heard a lot of great things about them so I found one on another gen forum and took the plunge. Price point new is ~$750. I picked this one up for under $640 shipped to my door and it was 30 days old. The previous owner had a 6.5" wrist and it was too big. It does wear big...alot like my gen Breitling SuperOcean Steelfish but a little more top heavy. The watch has both Rolex and Tudor vibes. Yep, it even has lugholes. Just a fun piece. Honestly I didn't know what to expect but DAMN the watch is amazing. I went with the Raven Deep Tech with date and the blue lume. If you love the Rolex Deep Sea, and want a lower price gen alternative...this is a great option folks. Remember this is a gen and not a rep. You can really feel the quality and actually dive with it! Not that I'll be going to 8200ft anytime soon Rolex Deep SeaRaven Deep Tech 42http://www.ravenwatches.com/deeptech.php I'll post some pics later but for now here are a few borrowed from others: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezio Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Looks good taking the plunge with it like the tudor/rolex look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbobdobalina Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 Raven makes great watches and the DT is very nice. A blue dial version is on my wish list but I will have to find it used since Raven doesn't have it on their site anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FROGMAN Posted November 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 Was a beauty. Ended up selling it to fund an mkii. Great watch though! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
