TW Steel

[TiggerBits]

OK, I already own two of them, one auto and one quartz. I have the smaller 45mm versions, and think they are well put together watches. I am seriously considering a third, as I just love the canteen crown guard. Please talk me into it, or talk me out of it

Thanks

Two is company and three is a crowd...

Well, I didn't end up buying the one I was looking at, but I still have an eye half open

Have you considered U-boat? They make similar style watches but imho much nicer quality.

I have a U Boat homage as it happens, but the real thing costs as much a car. Believe me though, the TW Steel watches a VERY well made.

Yep.

First up my auto TW Steel with an auto NH35 movement. MRP is £475


This is the closest I could find for the U Boat MRP £4690

Have you looked at the original Russian naval watches made by ZLATOUST?

No

I've now got x7 TW Steel watches, and all are their Limited Editions. Both the manufacturer & their UK importer are great to deal with, and all of the watches are superbly well built. One brilliant aspect is there's a company based in Holland who make a huge selection of watch-straps (rubber, silicone, & leather) specifically for TWS, & so for just a few pounds, you can keep totally changing the 'look' of your watch(es). I've no association whatsoever with TWS - I just love all of their 'variations' - which don't come at ludicrous prices.

Yep, like I said I have two, and think they are great. I bought a quartz one from Amazon at a great price, but after adjusting the bracelet I noticed it wasn't working. Rather than the hassle of sending it back, I carefully changed the battery, and it works great. Whilst undergoing the change, I noticed printed on the back was "CHINA". This makes absolutely no difference to me, but some WIS's would hate that !!
