What's the quality like?
Hi pplater,
I get the impression you like the watch (duh!). Ronda quartz movements are as reliable as anything, they absolutely nailed the styling (if you like that sort of thing), and at ~$200 AUD the price is certainly right.
But can you speak a little more about the quality of this new brand? You needn't be specific, I'm just talking general impressions. Things like the finish of the case, how it all fits together, what the strap feels like etc.
Thanks. 
New brand - sensational new movement...
This is a modern marvel! Its all about the dead-seconds: look at that lovely, big yellow seconds-hand against a muted, minimalist background. Conservative (37mm) straight edged DLC case; very plain hands; Bauhaus indices; dark grey markers and hands on m...
Me too
I too have a few watches made from the technical wizards from Japan. These wondrous creations make use of a circuit and currents to display the time in digits. Hands in watches are so 18th century! Identical to the Lange Zeitwerk!
Certainly like the minimalism, pplater...
especially the smooth crown. Still in love with this though: Thanks for thinking of me, pplater. ...

Give our best, sandgroper...
...to that crazy Frenchman you will no doubt be visiting. Do NOT let him take you into a watch store! If he does, though, please remember that a good Geophysic from 1958 needs a home in WA. ;-) All the best to you and Mrs sandgroper (should that be 'sandg...
Too late... ;) All the best to you, my dear Pplater, and
No worries, if I see a Geophysic, it is for you! Best, Nicolas
Dang!
And when I think of all of the time and money expended in the acquisition and retrieval of my One Hertz and Habring jumper -- I could just kick myself! Best, Gary
Hi, Gary
Don't kick yourself - kick me. but not when I am walking down flights of stairs with a sack of garbage in each hand - but no watches or batteries included! You may like to check out my recent update about the HTO to a sub-thread from almost a year ago fro...
If they did away with the battery
this too could become "my kind of watch". Apart from that, your writing is --- absolutely priceless! :) amerix
