Hi,

 

i am new to this thread and just tot of chipping in on the topic. Watch makers brand currently are pretty limited.and other then the mentioned CK,DKNY etc,alot of higher end watches too are no longer watch makers brand. If i remember correctly, even TAG is not 1 of them now. Cartier and Gucci too is not 1.However, majority of them uses the swiss movement manufactured for sales from the Swatch factory and this are the so called E.T.A movements if i am not wrong again. Again, i truely agree tat a watch makers brand of watch is somehow reliable coz their name is at stake if they fail.

 

P.S: Not all Rolex mechanism are manufactured by rolex now. Zenith happens to manufacture some mechanism for them too.

Good to have people from the watch industry.

 

Hi, are you working for a specific brand or from one of the "Big Three" watch retailers in Singapore?

indeed it is and it's 55mm!! think i can wear it on my arm. :sweat:

I think 55mm is inclusive of the thumb operated start/stop level, the diameter of the watch should be less than that.

It’s waterproof in the rain, the luminous hands and minute markers are very bright at night as I mostly ride my bike in the middle of the night and it’s relatively inexpensive.
