CFB creates really superb timepieces - I saw how their dials are made...

It sounds like your passion and friendship is strong.
Your buddy is lucky to make your acquaintance. Your reporting is also first class great pictures and review. If only the magazine go divulge as much ad you they would sell thousands. Thanks for this great report. Bill
PuristS and Carl F. Bucherer in 2009
Todd, Thanks for the post. I guess the diver's watch must contain a rugged 3rd party movement behind the Manta engraved caseback. Back since 2009, PuristS were initially excited by the Carl F. Bucherer automatic movement A1000 with peripheral rotor. We he...
Nice one Todd!
CFB is often a brand overlooked as they never really got their marketing on track (in my opinion of course!), but they do produce some great pieces and have a wonderful history too for creating timepieces. This is for sure one of them, together of course ...
