I appreciate it's not for everyone. But as watch fans and collectors we are supposed to try new things, have an open mind, and enjoy the journey. You're not rating the watches using the thumbs up and thumbs down, you are scoring the channel and the quality of the video. Please keep that in mind.
I received my raw titanium version of the A-10 yesterday. The packaging was spot on. The build quality is spot on. The visual impact of the watch is quite stunning. I own several very nice watches as well as some relatively unknown start up watches. I was pleasantly surprised by the light weight of the watch. I am a very large human and this watch fits me perfectly. I went with the raw titanium look as I thought it would be more complimentary to my age and lifestyle. Also, being familiar with cerakote from my own manufacturing experience, I was hesitant to wear a watch with a coating that can chip or wear with time. I figured the titanium version would age more gracefully with honest wear and tear. I am testing out the power reserve capacity now. So far, it has kept very good time. The watch is a pleasure to observe and seeing the tourbillon at work is mesmerizing. Good job on the launch.
I've been following Hanu Siren and Aventi since the project launch. Hanu is no stranger to the watch business having launched another brand a few years back. From a technical aspect, the Aventi brand is an exciting development in the world of watchmaking. Sapphire crystal cases were previously only reserved for Richard Mille and Hublot. With Aventi, Hanu has made it far more accessible. While I understand that the watch won't be to everyone's taste, I would like suggest that one can at least appreciate the technical aspect of a watch that has and will continue to break barriers in the watch world.
Fantastic customer servive from aventi..i have big wrists around 9 and a quarter when my watch arrived i sent customer service at aventi a photo of it looking slighly tight on the last hole on strap...aventi have custom made me a longer strap free of charge...exemplary service
@@TheWatchGuysTV Damian, didn't you agree (in reply to another comment) that the strap looks like that of a toy watch? How is that not cheap? I don't want to keep banging on about this - people can obviously buy and wear whatever the heck they like in a free country. But for me it is a p+ss-take to put these watches forward as being "good value". I would honestly feel totally scammed paying even a couple of hundred for something as tacky as this (even supposing that something so crassly oversized and _vulgar_ looking were actually to my taste!)
As one who’s been collecting watches for over 30 years. I was very interested in having this one in my collection. I chose to go with clear sapphire A-11. For those that say they rather buy a Rolex I have several, I also have AP, Patek, UN, Panerai, Jacob and others. It’s called watch collecting. I buy what I like and I enjoy the hobby. To each his own. Looking forward to more great things from this company.
I agree. I also own a number of high end watches from existing established brands and bought an A-11. I am more excited for the A-11 to arrive than I was collecting my other more expensive watches from Panerai, Tudor, Rolex, etc. The watch snobbery in all Aventi video comments is astounding.
@@billfred666 I also have a high end watch collection as you do and I just got my A11 crystal sapphire this week... I can't believe how well it has been made, everything... even the box. I don't give a fuck about what others think, to me this watch looks and feels like a 100K USD watch you'll see by yourself :)
Hey Colin, Thanks for the comment. Aventi as a team have been open to feedback from the start and yours is as good as any! When Aventi was started the intention was never to please everyone with our design, it was always going to be bold and we didn't expect everyone to like it. Quite often designs that are true to their original philosophy aren't accepted by the wider community at first and that's ok. Personally I'm excited to keep pushing the limits of what we are capable of in terms of design and I hope in the future we can produce something you are interested in! Mitch - Aventi
@@AventiWatch Mitch, is there a way to make an review of it? I would love to get my hands on it. Mind you, Iam an small youtuber by now and my insta is only by 1700 ish followers but I none the less, I would love to show it to the german audience. Regards -Alen
A fair review, Damien. As ever I for one appreciate the varied content (although your blro was the best watch in this vid 😉). Your enthusiasm and passion for all watches is what makes your channel one of the best on RUclips.
No Need to Apoligise Jay! It's always good to get feedback. I would be keen to know what you would want to see in a watch like this and if there is anything you would specifically change. You say 'Almost' every level in your comment, what is it that you like about the watch? Mitch
The only selling point of these watches is that they contain a tourbillon. The rest? Nahh And what about when it needs to get a service? Will it be as expensive as the watch itself? If it does it basically makes the watch a disposable good. Also, “disrupting the industry” is a meme.
@ Damian, Surely you wouldn't actually wear one of these would you? Your collection reflects understanding of 1. What is a quality time piece, and 2. Lets be honest, comfort with a certain level of wealth. Yes a Sapphire case containing a tourbillon at this price is impressive. But it's an impressive example of what can be achieved in China through well honed business savy and hard negotiation. Beyond that, I'm afraid, it leaves me flat.
@@TheWatchGuysTV Well, if you say so, Damien, if you say so... Moi? The only showy event I would wear something like this to would be a kiddies fancy-dress party where I was turned out in a Cuckoo the Clown costume! Otherwise I'd wear my Lange 1815, my Patek 5296G-001, or my Reverso. Sure only the right people would notice those - but that's kind of the way I like it ;-)
I’m not keen on either piece, but I think they are interesting and outside the box. I would add one to the collection, but probably wouldn’t wear it. Getting a tourbillion for this sort of money is fantastic and hopefully they will refine their designs and package the movement in a classier case. I wish them all the best and it will be interesting to see what they do next.
Must find something positive to say. Got it: If Seiko did the burnt titanium finish on a watch, I'd buy one. I do like that finish, even if the watch does absolutely nothing for me.
Damien you were, hopefully still are, the last bastion of taste and decorum on youtube, I couldn't possibly wear something that looks like it's come out of a giant kinder egg
There's nothing wrong with trying something new. I enjoyed playing around with it, and remember, Aventi are fans of the channel, so it would be rude to ignore them.
Not sure quite who these are aimed at. Rappers and Playboy's as you mention would buy RM. Otherwise if a statement piece was the aim you may look at Hublot or AP Skelton if you can stretch that far. These are garish and amateur.
Poor aventi, they are just trying their best but people keep shitting on their head lol The struggle of a 20 something-year-old trying to make it! I know how it feels guys, cause I'm in that period too! I like the watch, people are willing to pay a lot for fake richard mille I don't see why these people won't consider aventi. True it's not rolex glory and all but that's the whole point of the watch. Innovation and affordability. As someone who's 23 and dream to own a richard mille, this watch is a superb alternative. I currently own an explorer 2 and datejust, I'll consider this as my next watch if I have the budget.
You remind me of myself when I was in my early 30’s I purchased my first sub, not too long after that I purchased an explorer. 30 years later I think I’ve owned at least 10-12 Rolex models and many other brands. And yes I purchased an Aventi. Hang in there, because this watch collecting journey is a fun ride.
@@shawnw8046 thank you dude XD It was a story tho, long story short when I was at the AD, apparently I was talking with the owner of the AD. I didn't know who he was at first, he was kind enough to let me get the watch because he said I was so young but wanted a rolex lol.
@@whiskywatches That's a lot of rolex :O I'd be more than happy to add a pepsi gmt and any subs. Can I be your child sir lol Anyway, wear them in good health.
@@QJHKI definitely a long process. The problem comes, when your taste changes and you start to explore other brands. I was one of the guys that jumped in the Panerai hype. Sadly the flooded market and the creation of too many limited editions reduced the brands value substantially.
What car does this watch pair with? Perhaps a G63 with too big chrome wheels and too dark tinting on the windows. I agree that it is a statement piece, but I think it might be going a bit far to say that it gives something of the Richard Mille ownership experience. An RM on your wrist opens doors for you (there's an excellent article on The Rake about this), partly because they are so incredibly expensive. The Aventi's, however, feel to me as though they are designed to try to look more expensive than they are. I could stomach the design more if they didn't bother with the tourbillion and instead put more attention into better finishing and weren't trying so hard to look outlandish. Certainly the Aventi would be a conversation starter, but it does seem possible that those conversations would start with "did you forget to wear your glasses when you bought that thing?" ;-) Also, thank you for sticking to your usual sponsors and not asking for sponsorship from Aventi. It's a refreshing approach as it feels like we get a far more authentic insight into your take on the watch rather than what the sponsors PR department "asked" you to think.
Aventi would you guys create a different type of case more conservative and smaller with the same movement and sapphire? I think that would be more appealing to traditional collectors.
Love the watch! i had the pleasure to had them all on my wrist as i met Ryan as well and the quality is outstanding.. i honestly think this watch and brand will go far.. im tired of the rolex, ap and patek game.. even worst Richard is just stupid price.. this watch is beautiful and attainable. i suggest you guys give it a try! ppl see it and ask me if i paid 100k plus.. is that beautiful!
I think you’ve made a great choice. Over the years I’ve seen watched brands come and go. Some had great products, some not so great. Some had great marketing some were word of mouth. It all boils down to buying what you like. Because you are the only one enjoying your hobby. Cheers!
I've never heard of Aventi but they are not really my cup of tea in this iteration. Quite like the yellow version the dimensions are huge, though. Also I personally do not see the appeal of tourbillions regardless the price. Still an interesting and fair video
I have no qualms in purchasing and owning a Made in China product. This is a tourbillon with +/- 15 seconds accuracy a day is quite shady. What is the service interval and warranty for this new brand? Are there any service centres?
I wouldn't be worried or concerned with a Chinese movement. I have a swiss ETA movement in a watch atm which is not impressing me. I think the price point is amazing on these Aventi watches and yes, its good that the industry gets a shake up from time to time but I think the guys at Aventi will have to tone down the looks and downsize on some models just to increase interest and sales. I couldnt wear one, simply because my wrist size is not large enough, 44mm is the max for me but fair play to the Aventi guys.
You’d be surprised how it fits - no lugs makes it sit a lot slimmer than the paper size - I’d say it wears like a 44.. maybe one day you’ll get a chance to try one on! more to come ;)
True its a 'marmite' watch though give credit where it's due in that they are making sapphire watches which are within reach to some apart from just millionaires! Watch snobbery is ironic as If they made same movement in Swiss factory and charged ten times more they would get more positive feedback?
Great Review of some rather gopping watches. All in favour of shaking up the industry, especially price points but they are so tacky. Look very similar to fake Richard Millies you can purchase from a seller I know based on talamanca beach.
No sorry, I have no problem with HK watch movements, new sapphire case manufacturing techniques, or new independent watch companies taking on the giants, that's all good. But these watches are the wrong size and shape for me, and just look budget priced! They don't even look like a £1000 purchase. I have seen all the positive reviews inc. PM and PT, but they are not for me. You can buy a good watch for £2k and a great watch for £10k
Definite marmite at the moment, if they start producing stainless steel with leather and jubilee straps then they will appeal more to the masses. I’m with you `Damian, it’s an event piece rather than an every day.....
I have no problem with the Chinese movement provided it’s accurate but I like my watches to be subtle and stylish, the Pepsi bezel is a step too far for my taste so this watch is a definite no from me but great video as always. thanks
@@TheWatchGuysTV sorry badly worded it is purely an example of how I like things kept simple I have an OP 41 and a Sub but would only go GMT if I could have a plain bezel so that watch stood no chance as it’s a long way from subtle.
A matter of taste. Might as well wear a traffic light on your wrist when you crave attention. Hopefully Aventi come out with nicer watches and shake up the Swiss. Till then we stick with Rolex and G -shock
I just watched the video Damian and I appreciate the impartiality. I’ve heard Aventi like to put words in the mouths of reviewers and the guy you met actually appears in a lot of the other review videos. You’re a successful businessman so I’m sure you can tell when someone’s on to something and you’re not just jumping on a bandwagon. Sometimes I feel that other channels would flog us any old crap to line their own pockets.
Hey James! Thanks for watching. You're right! There are a lot of brands out there that tell RUclipsrs what to say. We try to be as transparent and open as possible when communicating our message and welcome feedback both positive and negative. It's good for us when people tell it like it is! Hope that gives you a bit more clarity. Happy to chat to you further! - mitch@aventiwatch.com Mitch, Aventi
It‘s the kind of watch that you would win on a tacky TV show! _Is John going to win the fantastic set of plastic dinner plates, the Aventi watch, or the romantic weekend break for two in Scunthorpe? We‘ll be right back after the break to find out!_ 😃
Great video To the OMG its so ugly type- I've made many millions investing in crypto a disruptive tech. No biggie right? The all in initial investment less than 25K. I am more than a bit amused by people who think- I don't like X so it sucks. To be clear I am not a fan of it but I dig someone made it. I am glad people are coming in and pushing boundaries of the watch world. Guess what you can sit on your couch watching the world go by and complain that everyone has more and better than you or you can keep your brain. Subscribed because you are the typical frail little fellas that normally review watches.
Hmm no, don’t get it, at any price. Looks garish. That blue one looks terrible, sorry 😕 You’re spot on though with not liking the video because you don’t like the watch. That’s massively missing the point.
I don’t like these pieces, love the review but I also love what these guys are doing by disrupting the market and for that I applaud them. Will be interesting to see what they do next.
Seems like Aventi is as likely to cause anger and rage-filled comments among the watch community as a $6,000 travel clock. Personally I'd still rather take the travel clock.
uggg the tiny 2 top screws in that movement are damage and flaking off timestamp 1;25 and if keep looking the bottom screw very top is chip too makes you wonder how only 2k just saying
I really do not get it: you have so many beautiful watches and you push this. It may not be a paid commercial but it sounds way worse than one, and I am not sure it can convince anybody of the need of a dreadful-looking watch with a tourbillon of questionable quality for the price of a good Swiss watch. Memorigin and other Hong Kong brands have made way-better-looking tourbillon watches in this price range for quite a while and they have not disrupted anything in the watch industry.
I’m actually not a troll, and I didn’t insinuate you were paid for the review. So I’m not entirely sure why my opinion is considered “bile”? I maybe should have phrased it “crap watches in my opinion”. But I think there’s a genuine problem with distinguishing which opinions are real from youtubers and which are biased due to influence from the companies they talk about. Unfortunately as a casual viewer it’s getting hard to determine one from the other, and maybe I put you in the wrong column so I apologise for that.
I agree there is a problem determining which RUclipsrs are sincere and who are corporate shills. If you read your first message back you can see that the inference is clearly there. But I am genuinely interested in whether you have personal experience of this watch, or whether you’re making an assumption, and based on what?
A saw a Chinese Tourbillon in an Invicta advertised for about $550. So $2,000 for a Tourbillon isn’t a major accomplishment. By the way I would never buy the Invicta anyway
@@TheWatchGuysTV For what they’re trying to do; yup! But it would give me an instant heart-attack, if I ever saw one on my wrist...which would be the quintessential predicament, because I would not want to be caught dead wearing one...😎
What’s going on here ? Another very disappointing video in three weeks. This Avanti thing looks like an expensive piece of s..t. If things don’t quickly improve, I will consider unsubscribing.
@@TheWatchGuysTV thanks for asking. Why don’t we see more German brands ? Nomos, Sinn to name those two. The Lambda, the Sinn history of buying Breitling Navitimer model, there’s really a lot to talk about.
I appreciate it's not for everyone. But as watch fans and collectors we are supposed to try new things, have an open mind, and enjoy the journey. You're not rating the watches using the thumbs up and thumbs down, you are scoring the channel and the quality of the video. Please keep that in mind.

Fair point - I switched my "thumbs down" to "thumbs up". I still say these Aventi watches are utterly howlingly bad though ;-)

I think you’ve made a great choice. Over the years I’ve seen watched brands come and go. Some had great products, some not so great. Some had great marketing some were word of mouth. It all boils down to buying what you like. Because you are the only one enjoying your hobby. Cheers!
How disruptive of you.
Great video as always. Quality is fantastic. (Footage not watch 😂!)
Not yet cup of tea, but interesting to learn about the brand.
Glad you enjoyed it!
certain sellers of the higher end fakes sell real Chinese tourbillions inside a replica for £700, they seem a bit on the chunky side to me.
Looking forward to getting my a10. Thankfully got it via Indiegogo.
V interesting vid, something different but huge, they should make a wall clock in that style, i think that would be cool
👍👍
I've never heard of Aventi but they are not really my cup of tea in this iteration. Quite like the yellow version the dimensions are huge, though. Also I personally do not see the appeal of tourbillions regardless the price. Still an interesting and fair video
Cheers, Jan
I enjoyed the video, Damian, but wow these are really not my cup of tea!
Can't ask for more than that
I have no qualms in purchasing and owning a Made in China product. This is a tourbillon with +/- 15 seconds accuracy a day is quite shady. What is the service interval and warranty for this new brand? Are there any service centres?
I wouldn't be worried or concerned with a Chinese movement. I have a swiss ETA movement in a watch atm which is not impressing me. I think the price point is amazing on these Aventi watches and yes, its good that the industry gets a shake up from time to time but I think the guys at Aventi will have to tone down the looks and downsize on some models just to increase interest and sales. I couldnt wear one, simply because my wrist size is not large enough, 44mm is the max for me but fair play to the Aventi guys.
You’d be surprised how it fits - no lugs makes it sit a lot slimmer than the paper size - I’d say it wears like a 44.. maybe one day you’ll get a chance to try one on! more to come ;)
True its a 'marmite' watch though give credit where it's due in that they are making sapphire watches which are within reach to some apart from just millionaires! Watch snobbery is ironic as If they made same movement in Swiss factory and charged ten times more they would get more positive feedback?
Exactly. It's a bit of flashy fun, but some people seem to take it all so seriously.
“Subtle & classy” 😂
Great Review of some rather gopping watches. All in favour of shaking up the industry, especially price points but they are so tacky. Look very similar to fake Richard Millies you can purchase from a seller I know based on talamanca beach.
Very good video 👍👍👍
Thanks
Awful. Frankenstein of horology....
No sorry, I have no problem with HK watch movements, new sapphire case manufacturing techniques, or new independent watch companies taking on the giants, that's all good.
But these watches are the wrong size and shape for me, and just look budget priced! They don't even look like a £1000 purchase. I have seen all the positive reviews inc. PM and PT, but they are not for me. You can buy a good watch for £2k and a great watch for £10k
Yes I know what you mean, but I enjoyed playing with them for a bit
send one to The Dubai Expat Aventi guys
Definite marmite at the moment, if they start producing stainless steel with leather and jubilee straps then they will appeal more to the masses. I’m with you `Damian, it’s an event piece rather than an every day.....
The only "event" I'd wear this watch for is going for a shit 💩because the watch is shit 💩
Oh Mark, really?
Since you only upload cat videos, I'd say we're safe to ignore your opinion.
@@TheWatchGuysTV I like cats what's wrong with that ?
@@TheWatchGuysTV your right though it was childish comment no offence meant
I have no problem with the Chinese movement provided it’s accurate but I like my watches to be subtle and stylish, the Pepsi bezel is a step too far for my taste so this watch is a definite no from me but great video as always. thanks
Pepsi bezel????
@@TheWatchGuysTV sorry badly worded it is purely an example of how I like things kept simple I have an OP 41 and a Sub but would only go GMT if I could have a plain bezel so that watch stood no chance as it’s a long way from subtle.
Looks like a swatch prototype reject type thing 🤔
If it was pink I be all over it!!!!!!!🤣👍🏼
😂
These Aventi watches are not for me ! Pepsi is a beauty though 😍
Nop,sorry,they look ugly and cheap. I would not buy even for 500 pounds.
A matter of taste. Might as well wear a traffic light on your wrist when you crave attention. Hopefully Aventi come out with nicer watches and shake up the Swiss. Till then we stick with Rolex and G -shock
I believe there are smaller cases and Swiss movements on the way.
Smaller cases and Swiss movements coming ;)
They hurt my eyes
Big enough to be a clock!
That's true
I just watched the video Damian and I appreciate the impartiality. I’ve heard Aventi like to put words in the mouths of reviewers and the guy you met actually appears in a lot of the other review videos. You’re a successful businessman so I’m sure you can tell when someone’s on to something and you’re not just jumping on a bandwagon. Sometimes I feel that other channels would flog us any old crap to line their own pockets.
Hey James! Thanks for watching. You're right! There are a lot of brands out there that tell RUclipsrs what to say. We try to be as transparent and open as possible when communicating our message and welcome feedback both positive and negative. It's good for us when people tell it like it is!
Hope that gives you a bit more clarity. Happy to chat to you further! - mitch@aventiwatch.com
Mitch,
Aventi
why couldn't they put that tourbillon in something that actually looks nice? i do not understand this brand. gross
I’m sure they will in time
A fool and their money as they say
Thanks for contributing that important and original insight. Oh no, wait...
How?? Make it in a sweatshop in China with cheap labor and even cheaper parts.
What’s that noise you hear when you watch Family Fortunes ?? It’s a big NO from me !! Sorry.
It‘s the kind of watch that you would win on a tacky TV show! _Is John going to win the fantastic set of plastic dinner plates, the Aventi watch, or the romantic weekend break for two in Scunthorpe? We‘ll be right back after the break to find out!_ 😃
Looks like the watch homer Simpson would design
Or Magneto
@@TheWatchGuysTV wouldnt that be a rolex milgaus ?
Essentially an Invicta with a higher price.
Er...
Great video To the OMG its so ugly type- I've made many millions investing in crypto a disruptive tech. No biggie right? The all in initial investment less than 25K. I am more than a bit amused by people who think- I don't like X so it sucks. To be clear I am not a fan of it but I dig someone made it. I am glad people are coming in and pushing boundaries of the watch world. Guess what you can sit on your couch watching the world go by and complain that everyone has more and better than you or you can keep your brain. Subscribed because you are the typical frail little fellas that normally review watches.
Hmm no, don’t get it, at any price. Looks garish. That blue one looks terrible, sorry 😕
You’re spot on though with not liking the video because you don’t like the watch. That’s massively missing the point.
I don’t like these pieces, love the review but I also love what these guys are doing by disrupting the market and for that I applaud them. Will be interesting to see what they do next.
Seems like Aventi is as likely to cause anger and rage-filled comments among the watch community as a $6,000 travel clock. Personally I'd still rather take the travel clock.
😂😂😂
Dear god no!
uggg the tiny 2 top screws in that movement are damage and flaking off timestamp 1;25 and if keep looking the bottom screw very top is chip too makes you wonder how only 2k just saying
Pre-production model
these are absolutely hideous
I really do not get it: you have so many beautiful watches and you push this. It may not be a paid commercial but it sounds way worse than one, and I am not sure it can convince anybody of the need of a dreadful-looking watch with a tourbillon of questionable quality for the price of a good Swiss watch. Memorigin and other Hong Kong brands have made way-better-looking tourbillon watches in this price range for quite a while and they have not disrupted anything in the watch industry.
I’m covering this because I found it interesting. Simple as.
How many full sapphire cased watches in this price range are there on the market?
Insane value? The movement costs 250 dollars, in bulk it costs 200, you can find it in many chinese watches... What r you even talking about bruv
Full Sapphire Crystal case, or titanium?
@@TheWatchGuysTV all of them, they have the same movement.
Come on because of this hype train with watch I don't watch Producer Michael now you I guess you just lost one sub
Because I looked at a watch. Glad to lose you if you're that shallow.
Roman Sharf and
Paul Thorpe have also covererd these Aventi watches.
Stay staunch Damian !
Ah youtubers being influenced to hype crap watches, it never gets old. Hideous.
So, you watched it, and then commented? Or you just thought you'd spread some bile, Phil? Did you enjoy the episode, but disliked the watch? Or. Not.
I’m actually not a troll, and I didn’t insinuate you were paid for the review. So I’m not entirely sure why my opinion is considered “bile”?
I maybe should have phrased it “crap watches in my opinion”. But I think there’s a genuine problem with distinguishing which opinions are real from youtubers and which are biased due to influence from the companies they talk about.
Unfortunately as a casual viewer it’s getting hard to determine one from the other, and maybe I put you in the wrong column so I apologise for that.
Which category do you think I fall into, Phil?
I agree there is a problem determining which RUclipsrs are sincere and who are corporate shills. If you read your first message back you can see that the inference is clearly there.
But I am genuinely interested in whether you have personal experience of this watch, or whether you’re making an assumption, and based on what?
A saw a Chinese Tourbillon in an Invicta advertised for about $550. So $2,000 for a Tourbillon isn’t a major accomplishment. By the way I would never buy the Invicta anyway
No. No. No. No. Sorry; although I like the disruptive thought, but aestetically they’re horrible abominations the lot of them. Just no!
So you love them, right? :)
@@TheWatchGuysTV For what they’re trying to do; yup!
But it would give me an instant heart-attack, if I ever saw one on my wrist...which would be the quintessential predicament, because I would not want to be caught dead wearing one...😎
terrible "watches", they disrupt nothing :))
Well, they've clearly disrupted you :)
🤮
No matter how cheap - Still looks ugly
I actually quite like the Blue Sapphire.
What’s going on here ? Another very disappointing video in three weeks. This Avanti thing looks like an expensive piece of s..t.
If things don’t quickly improve, I will consider unsubscribing.
What exactly are you hoping to see, Herve?
@@TheWatchGuysTV thanks for asking. Why don’t we see more German brands ? Nomos, Sinn to name those two. The Lambda, the Sinn history of buying Breitling Navitimer model, there’s really a lot to talk about.
Probably because I don’t own any of them. Came close to a Nokia though
shit watches,,,all marketing no trousers...RM hold their value these aventi pos will not
I don’t like their watches, but I am glad they show the dumb people that a watch ain’t worth paying more then 10K.
