It might be lack of funds in the company that makes those choices for them, who knows. But their normal lines are quite nicely put together.

I'm only considering the M51, is this considered a limited edition unit?

M51 is part of the normal line. It has a decent movement in it as well. Not Swiss, but still good all the same. The lum on the lumbered watches are about as good as panerai watches, which is impressive considering the price difference. Some say its slightly weaker, but I think that might just be panerai guys claiming that to justify the money they spent on their Pam's.

I think if you get the watch you will likely be happy with it.

Hey man. I like android as well. It takes them about 3-5 business days to ship, and it takes about 2 days to arrive to me.

There are two things you have to consider though:

1. For some reason I feel that the photos on their website look better than the watches actually do in person. That's not the case for every watch, as my tourbillion looks great, but the Octopus south beach edition wasn't as nice. It could just be that they have a really good product photographer.

2. I agree with Reed that their limited edition watches seem to be of better quality, in general. Although the cheap ones seems to be just that... Cheap. The main issue I had s other winding movement and the quality of the crown.

But, as I previously said, I love the tourbillion and I get many more complements from it than my Ball. The price point for Android is good and when there is a sale on their higher end watches, it's a great deal.

Which one are you looking at?

Patrick719 · 10-19-2012, 03:15 PM

I noticed the "rolex" engraved letters on the inside of the bezel in this pic. I inquired, and I was told that only the newer Subs have that inner-bezel engraved letters. Your watch in the pic has the older style case with the holes for the strap pins, but the newer style engraved bezel. Just wondering about that, did you have the newer bezel installed?

I have only one watch, my Sub, and I love mine as well.

14060M (non date sub) as pictured have an engraved rehaut and lug holes, they are a bit different than the more common 16610.

mike the snake · 10-23-2012, 08:06 PM

Aaahh, I see. Thanks very much.

I only have my date Sub, but having gained interest in fine watches, I've learned to notice small details.

I'm saving for my next watch, but kind of lost now that I've researched, there's a thousand watches I'd love to own but can't afford.

Thread revival.. took delivery today

mike the snake · 12-22-2012, 09:39 PM

Just bought myself an Orange monster for Xmas. Just wore it today for the first time. This is one cool watch, especially for the money. It's nicer than a lot of more expensive watches.

achenator · 12-23-2012, 09:52 PM

Which at the end of the day, is the way you have measure any luxury purchase....you dont need a 3er, a Maxima will do the same basic thing, but for all of us, the extra $ spend makes us happy.
