That's the special finish to capture micro particles of dust with in the case, same as Gamages/Swan and Edgar🤔 Well would be according to the Field's🤣😂 Yes that was poorly finished even by Chineese standards🤮

Quick Google shows you can buy one for £3. So probably not in the upper echelons of quartz horology 🤔

😅🤣😂 yes heard that one!

Thank you 😉 for a full and interesting reply.

I'd go with that list😉 Roamer still the brand from the 60's? Or re started up with just using the name? They had some nice, now sort after chronos from the 70's. Like the comment on the Fields creations (abominations)🤮

Ah! one of Eddie's, thats how to resurrect an old trade name and do it right! I have a Speedbird in my collection, real quality watches that will go up in value and might survive to be an heirloom 🙂 unlike an Earnshaw etc.🤔

Someone showing off their rare Earn haw on the Facebook page for the Clockwork Club🤣 not really heard of these watch subscription clubs before but this one seems to use alot of the IW brands🤔🤫 just like IW, your monthly subscription will be less than the RRP for the watch they send out lol. P.s...

So they're not 4th generation artisan horologists lol. 😃🤔🤫

Thanks for the info interesting. They didn't look very good quality to my eye. Not as good as Wenger and the likes. Assumed they might be Chineese components assembled in Switzerland or other way round.To get the necessary value, in the watch, to call it Swiss made or however they do it.

So he did say "Rondo" thought he did but thought no, surely he knew the name of the movement manufacturer.🤣😂 One of the more crinch worthy conversations on IW watch shows, when Rob asked about the quality🤔🤭 "Swissized" chineese junk I suspect.😬

Yes, must get a 1963. Only picked up the Red Star, as it was, compared to my collection of black dialed tool watches different and quirky😎 Real chrono with moon phase. No dodgy sub dials here😁 A nice thing really for what it cost!

Very true, wearing one today.😉 Even has a nicely finished Seagull movement unlike the rough Swan & Edgars, supposedly to catch the micro particles or whatever he whittles on about.🤣😂 Put it on one of those expensive milanese straps, that if I remember rightly didn't cost a lot even fitted with a...

Brilliant lol😂🤣😂🤣😂😉

I think most of the big name exhibitors fell out with the organisers, originally over not getting a refund from last years cancellation. They were going to do their own show, with Bazelworld not happening or at least if it did, in a smaller form. Would some of these dubious brands even exhibit...

I liked the way she referred the viewer to You Tube to see how to work the divers elapsed time bezel. Not really rocket science is it🤣 and thats the divers bezel, that's on a watch purportedly based on aviator watches of the past🤔🤫

Yes the world timers at millions😀 and I thought you just needed a rotating bezel with the different cities/time zones on any watch regardless of price. 😎 Unless it's an internal bezel they cost lot to do even on a £100 watch with £70 free gift lol 🤫 Sill a very tennious link with the rockets but...

And we had Francis Bacon invented the NASA Apollo rockets! Clever feat as he died in 1626😂 unless there's another English person with the same name he was involved with NASA program 🤔 I suspect not🤫

They make Swiss Military look like quality to my eye. 🤔 and they're nothing special 😉

Sadly not before my time 🥴 Clarks Trackers if I remember correctly. Compass lasted about a week. 🙁 Can't see the one on the watch lasting much longer. What a crap looking watch even by IW standards. 🤔

Thought exactly the same, Kev cut him off before he spouted a load of untrue rubbish along those lines🤫
