fulanito_uk Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 (edited) I was surfing and came across the chinese FIYTA, the watched used by the chinese cosmonauts, has anyone got one? if so how much did you pay for it, im guessing $2K (way out of my price range)/where did you get it from? good review here: http://www.pilotswatch.nl/Pages/Watches/fiyta.htm Is there a rep of it? I kind of like the box and all the paper that comes with the real one.. Edited November 15, 2008 by fulanito_uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chino Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Hi S, I liked the box better than the watch itself, compadre... and wtf with a plastic movement spacer for a 700 ducks watch? It may have some collection value in let's say 2000 years more, when China rules the world... but I didn't personally like it, besides the review isn't very optimistic about it. saludos!

gran Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Is there a rep of it? I kind of like the box and all the paper that comes with the real one.. Its a rep of its own and its just so 60s in its style and mechanics.... But seriously Fiyta and Ebohr also Have their Tourbillon Now Fiyata and Ebohr are famous watch companies in China, they have very good quality but they only make quartz or simple mechancal watches. Anyway they don't make any movements. Now the first time, Fiyata has a coaxil tourbillon, as shown, is it a sea-gull movement or not? http://forums.watchuseek.com/showthread.php?t=103491 http://forums.watchuseek.com/showthread.php?t=105935 The China domestic watch brand sales figures which may be of interest to some. August 2007 data for top 20 brands http://www.cfw.com.cn/main/yjbg/2007...4_213133.shtml More info: For the benefit of those non chinese readers The top four brands by sales (no of watches) BRAND Ebohr 16.54% Tianwang 13.19% Rossini 13.07% Fiyta 9.58% By value ($) Ebohr 20.95% Fiyta 20.22% Tianwang 19.45% Rossini 18.39% Seagull is at no. 11 (by value) 0.73%, not within the top 20 by quantity. Since Ebohr has bought over Rossini recently, this would mean Ebohr/Rossini has a large share of the market of domestic brands (39% by value). This is remarkable considering the short history of both companies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

takashi Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Same thing as Louis Bolle and the like... posted ridiculous prices online on their websites. In truth... can be had at 90% off retail price. They are afterall made in China watches with dubious brand history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
