@@underthegreatwave they are a very new brand so have not yet had a chance to build up the heritage that the other brands at their price point of built. But so than that, they change an extremely high price for their watches based on the specs of the watch and the movement used. For a similar or often less price you can buy a Breitling, Rolex, or Omega a brand with over 100 years of history which has superior finishing/detailing and uses an in house movement. Lastly, on the secondary market these watches take a huge dive in value. Most watches do lose value but probably not to the same degree. I want to ad that I myself have not seen one in person yet but this is the consensus I hear. I think that a lot of their watches have great designs but I’d have to get one in hand to speak on the level of finishing. It appears in pictures to be really good on their more expensive models but possibly less so on their “entry level” models which still cost 5 grand. In terms of the movement, it’s a lot to ask for a ETA movement. At this price people typically expect an in house movement.

Since ultimately the Ferrari's are unattainable while the lesser cars are. I would plum for a 5711 if the price was in the 20-30's, but in the 60-70's that is a bridge too far for most folks. And so what do you buy to scratch the itch. A.L&S Odysseus, oh wait another in hard to get at retail. And so the debate does on....
