Klaus Kobec are they poop?
Discussion
Hi
Before anyone starts I have a nice expensive watch that as a result I do not like to wear everyday especially for work. I was looking for a ceramic watch and one made by Klaus Kobec has caught my eye. I know they are ridiculously over priced then reduced down but for £100 are they Ok as an everyday??
Thanks

No direct experience but they do look a bit cheapo.

I meant for £100 I wouldn't expect it to 'feel' cheapo and for the bracelet to be smooth / nice weight etc which you can't tell looking online.
Wouldn't have thought any ceramic watch would have a "nice weight" compared with a steel one. Unless you really must have ceramic I'd get a nice Seiko, Christopher Ward or even a Werners as a daily beater.Edited by andy tims on Wednesday 17th February 17:34
After browsing some more (and possibly doubling the budget!) I am now undecided on these:
Seiko - already have a ladies velatura and a coutura, not sure about the red decals and leather strap.
Rotary - bought a rotary havana as an emergency watch and never wore it as the quality was poor. Should have sent it back really but never got round to it so a bit put off but really like the (breitling) style of this:

Opinions appreciated.

Personally I don't think they're even worth their reduced prices. I've seen the adverts in the back of the telly book and they go on about the value of expensive Swiss watches and then try and compare themselves to them, making out they are of a similar value but vastly reduced. They are in the same vein as Belmar watches, delusions of grandeur!!
Not to mention they are a QVC favourite! Say no more. Oh yeah, a bit of history here............ http://www.nominet.org.uk/disputes/caselaw/index/f...
I'd rather spend the money on a Seiko or similar.
Just my opinion of course..................

Its here! Very nice and very pleased with it although its a bit large as I have small wrists. Having said that its all the rage to wear a large or even mans watch a la Trinny & Suzannah. Glad I went for it instead of the Klaus Kobec. I am now dithering on whether to buy the Rotary as well?!
