I think I read somewhere that the movement is produced by Kenissi which Tudor owns a big chunk of and is co-managed by both Breitling and Tudor. So it's not like Breitling make the movements and then...

Hadn’t spotted that! Will definitely have an impact
Think there will still be VAT refunds post-Brexit - U.K. still charges VAT after all, just has freedom to set it at different rates from the EU
Not really sure I see the issue - Nomos has made a big effort to make a range of in house calibres which they manage to sell at very good prices considering the quality. They used to use Swiss...
I keep looking at these but worry it will wear a bit too big with the 52mm lug to lug and the big dial. Can anyone with a 7 inch wrist comment on this? Love the functionality and everyone raves about...
I bought an early one back in 2008. Great altimeter functionality (I was using it for mountaineering, multi-sport races, etc where I needed an altimeter for navigation) but mine hasn't been very...
Both great watches! After the recent Damasko threads I'm looking with renewed interest and the DC56 is a real contender, so great to hear your thoughts.
As someone with similar sized wrists to you...
Got to be the yellow diver - I've got the Seiko SKXA35 which is like a budget version and love to have a spot of colour in a collection
Managed to delete my reply 😑
Agree that's a very reasonable reply and I'm sure quality will continue to be excellent for the price. I'd just rather have less money invested in a watch that will...
Exactly my reaction! Great to see the passion of the man who invented it is matched by the guy who brought it back.
Really enjoyed these videos even if v unlikely to ever own a 50 Fathoms
Thanks for that - I'd forgotten there was a Damasko forum on WUS. Seems that the change to in-house movements is indeed the reason. So the watches will continue but will be more expensive, which is a...
Damasks is such a great brand - definitely on my list to try some day. Does anyone know if the DA series has been discontinued? Not on the Damasko or Jura websites at the moment. Be a huge shame if...
I've had mine for over a year and concur with all the positive comments. It is a biggish and heavyish watch but I think that can be overstated. It wears roughly similar to a SKX007 on solid oyster,...
The design has has a big dial so it wears big for its size, but it's not a big watch at all. I have the 39mm and a 7 inch wrist and think it wears smaller than my BB GMT. Here a photo that looks...
The 1000 metre Tunas really are spectacular watches - titanium, ceramic and a great movement combined to make a supreme tool watch. The fact they’ve been depth tested and failed at something like...
By the time you’ve done that it might be cheaper and easier to order the JDM version from Gnomon or Seiya. Not sure exactly much it would work out at with VAT etc but the Gnomon price plus 20% works...
Seems harsh given the circumstances.
OP - don't know the watch well but have you checked the usual reference points eg eBay sold prices, C24 listings, watchfinder buy in price? They should give...
Thanks for that. Very tempted now - suspect I'll be placing an order before long!
Thanks for this. I’m feeling pretty tempted by one of these Too. Really interesting to hear your very high opinions as, like you, I already have a 1000M and 300M quartz Seiko Tunas, so the SD would...
Thanks for that - great to hear.
Your new blue one looks lovely. Would you mind letting me know if you decide to move it on?
This is the one I meant. Looks like a new version of yours. Out of...
With up to 1k then I’d definitely aim for something really good.
The hydro Sinns look fantastic. I’ve never owned one as I worried about servicing but the effect of the oil is really cool.
...
I’m in two minds on this. On the one hand I think it’s a mistake to think the roughly 30 year revival of mechanical watches will continue. Think what happened to pocket watches once lifestyles and...
I know what you mean, but think this now reflects the beat rate of the movement so it is actually more precise :)
Was intrigued when I spotted this new generation on Gnomon. What do you think? Like the new hands - back to the classic shape but with an update to the middle. Look great! What is the bezel made of -...
I think this is one the best iterations - brushed hands, hex screws and signed crown all make it feel a bit more luxurious than the 007. And the full lume plots hark back to the original as your...
