[@shivammittal3698]

guys, does anyone have an idea that until what year, did western watches used the original eagle symbol on their dial?

[@1988banker]

Amazing if they really came up with the cap jewel system. Wish they would have stuck with their own designs. They started selling day date homages to survive? They didn't have many designs of their own?

[@into_the_himalayas]

Got two of them, needed service

[@TimesTicking]

Hope they got the service and care they needed!

Never heard of this brand,another brand selling mostly to India who will now fake them and sell them for $40

[@AkbergLetheErcisKarasi]

It's funny, whenever someone brags about Swiss "high horology" I immediately remember how a quartz watch almost wiped them out lmao. What a bunch of pretentious swindlers.
