Deyfuss Views??

[daveyb662]

What do you guys think of the above brand?? Been looking at a couple of their watches, the skeleton in particular, any views from owners or any experience?
Good quality? Worth the premium over standard rotary, etc?

Dreyfus and Co is the brand used by Rotary for their upper tier range, as I am sure you'll know. Dreyfus is the surname of the family that set up (possibly still owns) the Rotary company.

The brand has always been a poor seller here in the UK and I think it is being withdrawn from the UK market. If you do get one, make sure you get a discount!

Residuals will be very poor (if that is a factor to you) but having never handled one, I am unsure of the quality. If the movements are Swiss, then they are likely to be usual ETA / Selita standard ebauches.

Reading the forums, there seems to be a degree of uncertainty amongst dreyfuss, which somewhat puts me off!
The watch I was looking at is actually discounted from 950 to 475. But I fear I will not be buying much more than a normal rotary!

Any more views would be valued...
Alternatively may stay safe and stick with tissot (have been tempted by CW, but being unable to see in the flesh is putting me off - Is there anywhere that stocks them?)

Thanks
