I’m with ya on split pins, Ron. Never had a split pin fail on me and I have zero issues with pinned bracelets. On the other hand, I have had one screw pin fail on me and have had screw pins back themselves out with regular wear on one bracelet (that bracelet had to get a little loctite).
Nice looking watch. As a native Chicagoan, I can tell you about the stars. They represent four key moments in the history of the city: the establishment of Fort Dearborn, the two worlds fairs that took place in Chicago, and the Great Chicago Fire.
All the early Casio MRG watches (1996-1998) had split pins. Over time the flared ends tend to get squashed a bit, so a simple fix is to insert a screwdriver and open the end a bit. I’ve no problem with them.
Checks all the boxes except $700 price tag and split pins (Love to challenge Rob for the blind test 🤣) If you ask me, I don't think he can do it, ha ha Thanks for the review, Rob. Have a great day. PS: With that price tag, I thought that screw links are obligatory....
My thoughts exactly! It's a cool watch and I find it a bit odd that after allocating their money on a nice case, dial and bracelet with an on-the-fly micro adjust clasp that they chose to cheap out and save a few bucks by using split pins instead of screws. As you said, at this price point it's basically obligatory. Btw, I wouldn't challenge Rob to a blind test cause he can probably size a split pin bracelet with his toes, while he's blindfolded, drunk and wearing a straight jacket like Houdini!! 🤣🤣🤣

Interesting watch and brand, completely new to me. Thanks for highlighting Alexander James

Love that dial. And I’ll take split pins over pin and collars ANY day of the week. Never had one issue with split pins. Have a good one Rob.

in the knife world we call that a Frag pattern on the dial
It's a beauty
Nice watch 👍

Reminds me of a Tissot PRX dial.
Another micro brand with owner name as brand name.. 😂😂
I am also not a fan of any branding done with personal name. But such is life
