Would prefer analog, and the strap is leather preferably. Well it is still ok of the strap is made of steel.

They come in Swiss movements? Most of the other (affordable) homage makers I know use the Asian version.

How's the quality of the case and crown protector? Lume lasts long? How much did they set you back?

Yeah these come in Swiss movement. The quality of the case and crown protector is good and it fits snugly.

I haven't do a lume test yet... The watch comes with anti scratch sapphire crystal.

Total damage slightly over 3k.

ah, that's why the pic looks a little pixelated. hehe.

but like deriku mentioned, its a swiss unitas? normally its the asian seagull right?  blush.gif

the lume im guessing its super luminova type lume? tongue.gif

Yeah davidsen comes with Swiss unitas and comes highly recommended by bro ck.

Not sure what kind of lume it uses though. But once expose to sun light you don't need to be in a dark room to see it glow.

For 1.5k, I'd expect the quality to be on par with entry level Swiss made watches, e.g. Hamilton, Tissot.

Do let us know how the watch keeps up in terms of reliability, accuracy etc. And don't forget to take a picture of the movement when you change the caseback wink.gif

in terms of time keeping so far so good, i've trace it using my mobile phone clock and so far so good. but have to do a longer test to know.

also the fully automatic is slightly more expensive compared to the hand wind watch.

Yea, the reason why I bought it is because I got fed up with tissot mechanical watch.

Bought one and after only two days wearing the clock faster by two minutes everyday.

I sent it back to tissot and they say need at least two months time to fix... w t f right?

Davidsen is based in China? How did you make payment?

Read in some forums that he sells replicas too, and has received mixed comments from forummers. I am really interested in knowing how your watches hold up. Keep us posted smile.gif

yeah he can make china movement for you also if you wanted to. but i didnt dwell on that because i want a watch that can last. anyways he is based in Hong Kong.

Mutual trust is still something i believe in and yes i am taking a risk so hopefully it's worth it. laugh.gif
