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

QUOTE(deriku @ Nov 17 2011, 02:20 PM) They come in Swiss movements? Most of the other (affordable) homage makers I know use the Asian version. Yeah these come in Swiss movement. The quality of the case and crown protector is good and it fits snugly.How's the quality of the case and crown protector? Lume lasts long? How much did they set you back? I haven't do a lume test yet... The watch comes with anti scratch sapphire crystal. Total damage slightly over 3k. QUOTE(fluffy6640 @ Nov 17 2011, 02:27 PM) ah, that's why the pic looks a little pixelated. hehe. Yeah davidsen comes with Swiss unitas and comes highly recommended by bro ck. but like deriku mentioned, its a swiss unitas? normally its the asian seagull right? the lume im guessing its super luminova type lume? 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 |

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 |
