What are these watches like? I remember a thread on here where the opinion of them was actually quite good but things change.

I generally like their designs and there are a few websites selling them for what appears to be cheap, i.e rrp 6k selling for 2k etc.

Not out to buy one now but might save up for one perhaps.

They're pretty good, feel quite nice on the wrist, quite weighty, appear well built (although I've never owned one, just tried many).

some are quirky, some overly large, so you have to be quite picky.

some of the high street stores quite frequently have a small selection at heavily discounted prices (30-50% off) so don't expect to pay retail.

check Ernest Jones next time you go by, you might be surprised at what you can find.

I have one of these: http://www.watchfinder.co.uk/Maurice%20Lacroix/Pon...

It's a nice watch, comfortable and likable but I must say I don't 'love' it. It's my club/bar watch as it looks good but not too flash and know one I know has been that bothered by it which is fine by me.

I have a current model Rolex GMT2' an Omega Speedmaster and a Breitling Transocean and its not on the same build quality scale as those. The case has been marked quite easily and it doesnt feel 'solid' within the case.

I view it like an accessory rather than a timepiece.
