HERC watches?

[Alexj800]

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone has had experience with these? I like the look of these two:







The company started in 1998 in the USA and all there watches seem to sell for around £45 each which seems dirt cheap if the quality is good. I think they look great in the pictures.

I am such a fking watch geek I am ashamed of myself. That's a cheap Chinese movement from a £5 watch. I've got the exact layout of the subdials and looking at the back it has exactly the same screws.

That said, the watch I have continues to work fine and seems to keep reasonable time so if you like the design, why the hell not.

Shameless rip-off of an Omega Planet Ocean Chrono, but with a green bezel. Even the style of the numerals at 3/6/9/12 is the same.

Edit: fix quote.

Meh - maybe I wont bother, I'll give it some thought. I don't mind the Chinese movement as long as it does the job, but I'm not sure about wearing a copycat watch.

Thanks for the information.

I neither have, nor are likely to have any personal experience as they look cheap & nasty to me, but hey, if you like em.........

I bought one for the mrs (see how generous I am ) just out of curiosity really.

£20 I got it for, its an automatic watch not brilliantly made finishing leaves a lot to be desired if I'd paid £200 I'd take it back. However for £20 can't really complain.

looks ok but does have a cheap feel to it.

You get what you pay for.
