Pugwash Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 Very good price with swiss movements: http://www.xezo.com/item_display.asp?id=247&sp=po http://www.xezo.com/item_display.asp?id=267&sp=po $534 with a ETA 2893-2 and sapphire? Looks like a good price for a gen. I think the design is a little generic and uninspired though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Category 5 Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 They look like decent watches at the very least, but no way I'd trust a skeleton back to 200m! Something's fishy there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest avitt Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 They look like decent watches at the very least, but no way I'd trust a skeleton back to 200m! Something's fishy there! I don't find that fishy. I've got a Hamilton Khaki Navy GMT that has a display screw-down back, and it's also rated to 200M. These Xezo watches are in the same price range as the Hammy's...Assuming that they are well constructed, and you like the style, they look like a good value.

z80 Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 They look like decent watches at the very least, but no way I'd trust a skeleton back to 200m! Something's fishy there! I had a Tissot Seastar 1000 which is 300m and it had a dispaly back.. Come to think of it the Seastar is about that same price. I would probably go for the Tissot again over them. Also remember that Swiss Army makes some very nice watches in that price range. The $500 Swiss watch CAN be found.. it just won't have a big dollar name. Overall the Xezo stuff does look ok though.

smalltime Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Very good price with swiss movements: http://www.xezo.com/item_display.asp?id=247&sp=po http://www.xezo.com/item_display.asp?id=267&sp=po I like their watches very nice quality and limited editions on all models. About 500 watches made per model. I own a few other of their models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archibald Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 I like their watches very nice quality and limited editions on all models. About 500 watches made per model. I own a few other of their models. 'Cause 500 is all they can sell with that fit and finish, and probably the minimum order for their Chiinese case suppliers..look at the finish on the top right of the bezel, the crown, and, the dial--all totally rep-like. And, as pug says, not a single thing interesting about the design that would makeme spend any of my rep money on one of these watches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 I am with Arch. These are mediocre (aesthetically speaking) reps masquerading as gens. Go with Hamilton or another proven brand if you want to go that route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crystalcranium Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 How many of these ETA movement dependant small watch assembly companies, (who do frankly what I would love to do, produce watches with low frills and proven movements to bring good quality mechanicals to the masses.....oh yeah...Seiko already did that...) are going to be around once ETA movements are only going to go into Swatch company watches? I agree they are probably on a par with Tissot, Hamilton, Swiss Army, Oris, Accutron et al who can put an ETA mechanical out there for between $300-$1000. Better to stick with a proven name and warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
statikman Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 I like the case and bracelt but I think the dial is fug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crystalcranium Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 Looks very generic.. wanna be watch. Yeah, I think this one wants to be an Accutron Gemini 26C04 Only, it's not as nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morgan Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 Hmmm... me like swiss chocolate. So the vote is in... this watch is a dog that won't hunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 I would also do a fair bit of homework on this as I am sure I have read somewhere that Xezo have stopped production and you may in fact be buying up old stock, could be a bummer should something go wrong.

elprimerozen Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 I have to say that the word "XEZO" in GREEK means that "I take a dump" or "Im taking a [censored]" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
