Never clocked that, actually really nice. I'd never heard of them until my colleague mentioned them but must say quality is up there.....KungFooBob wrote: ↑Thu Apr 01, 2021 6:32 pmv8-powered wrote: ↑Thu Apr 01, 2021 6:26 pm Guy I work with that has a keen interest in watches has just purchased 2 Davosa watches and considering prices they are great pieces of kit - one resembles a Submariner and the other a GMT Batman.

I’ve always liked the look of the novelty watches, but having a couple (not the above), they never get any wear time. That would put me off a meistersinger.Potter wrote: ↑Thu Apr 01, 2021 3:36 am If I was buying a watch in that price range I'm fairly sure it would be one of these https://www.meistersinger.com/int/mechanic/automatic/
They make their own movements now, I almost bought one a couple of years ago and I wish I had, they seem to have gone up by about 50% now - or maybe that's just UK prices vs prices here, not sure.
Blowers have this in https://www.chrono24.ae/meistersinger/m ... 967668.htm and that's a good example of inflated prices on C24 because on their website it's cheaper https://www.blowers-jewellers.co.uk/pro ... uto-00179/

I think I know what you mean by novelty watches, they'd be better if they put two hands on, but they're nice watches, with their own movement, and they're not copies of Rolex or Tudor, which everyone else seems to be doing.
Have Tudor got any new models?Potter wrote: ↑Wed Apr 07, 2021 11:54 am The Rolex new releases were a massive disappointment today, they really missed a trick with the 50th anniversary of the Explorer, the new Exp2 is basically the same as the old one.
Even Patek were a big let down with the 5711 last year of production final model, they just stuck a green face on it, no precious metal, nothing innovative.
Explorer 2 is on my want list, was waiting to see what the announcement was regarding the new model but from what I've read little change...Potter wrote: ↑Wed Apr 07, 2021 11:54 am The Rolex new releases were a massive disappointment today, they really missed a trick with the 50th anniversary of the Explorer, the new Exp2 is basically the same as the old one.

Very subtle cosmetically, they've changed the 'ghost hands' and apparently done something with the case but I can't tell. And they've put the new movement in, which has reliability issues. I think it doesn't look as good, but some prefer the new one.v8-powered wrote: ↑Wed Apr 07, 2021 11:57 am

They can charge whatever they want really, people will buy them.
They make good curry sauce as well
I had exactly that a couple of weeks ago when I was wearing a Patek, I was sat opposite a bloke over a business lunch and he asked me if it was a Citizen. I said "No a Patek" and he said "Ahh, Indian brand?". Another bloke at the table nearly choked on his lunch laughing and the fella sat next to me just said "Ouch"
