Cool watch. Really like the (relatively) short lug to lug of 49mm on the 45mm case. The desert-ish color combo is great, but that seconds hand would really pop off if it was red too, right? Alpina is a brand that I've been meaning to check out for a while now. I really liked that Startimer GMT that you reviewed a while back. You're positively killing it with the diverse reviews, man, keep 'em coming!
$1400? my daughter gifted me the Seastrong 300 auto with the black dial and bronze pvd case/bezel for Christmas (a little big for my 7" wrist but love it) and she only paid $740 new for it. idk where she bought it so can't name store or website (she only showed me what she spent) but I was surprised because I've been checking up on the bronze pvd cased version for a year or so and have never seen it below $1100. needless to say though it's a watch I've been wanting for awhile and was happy as hell when I received it for a gift. I would never pay retail for a watch but the Seastrong 300 auto is a sweet piece for the price plus being that the movement is based really after the ETA 2824-2 (that's what the Sellita sw-200 is based off of) parts for the movement are easy to come by and cheap if movement needs fixed.
Swiss watches are overrated. Micro brands such as Phoibos and Helm are doing great. You get a lot for your hard-earned money not to mention that these brands use Japanese movements which are reliable and will last for decades.
I love mine. I've had mine for 8 months and it's still one of my favorites
You really do some awesome reviews I think I'm going to buy my hubby a watch that you reviewed!
That’s a fairly unique looking diver. Love the colour way. Well built by the looks. May be just a tad big. Hmmm. Thanks for the review.

Love the intro on this production Big E! Watch is a bonus similar to the SINN UTX-30

Did you like it? I just ordered one
@@joaopedrodona3819 love it. Just wish it was around 40mm or so rather than 44mm
@@richardsalinetrojr1957 nice. My wrist is about 7”6. Hope it fits. My Seiko samurai fits well.
@@richardsalinetrojr1957 let me ask you something. Where does the rubber strap and other things come? Below the Watch in the box?
What os the weight of the Watch ? Thanks.

I agree some of the Chinese microbrands are good but some of the Swiss stuff really do feel better quality when you compare side by side.
