Detomaso? Any good?

[Orange Peel]

I saw this on the Bay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DETOMASO-S...item337a688534
and wondered if anyone had ever had one or has one?
If so any comments?
Are they any good?
Good value or just a cheap n nasty?

Good value

Don't know. Only know that here you can pick up the same watch today for €150:

£300? No way. 150 Euros? Probably not. Here's a review from watchuseek:

Their cars were magnificent but I suspect you needed your own spanners

[notnowkato]

now I have checked the watch brand , it looks as though they are made by the same folks that make MrKemmner's Turtles. The Turtles are all nice watch but it seems as though they are mass produced for anyone to brand as they choose.

On Amazon £57.97 (photo courtesy of Amazon) most others of the same brand around the same price.

Some of their cars were magnificent, some were less so (notice the opened bonnet).



Yes, this was really a DeTomaso, but of course as derivative as these watches .

That's a quartz (with a weird bezel BTW & likely a lesser quality case). You would expect these to be cheaper IMO.

Well they sounded good (when running), but were very unreliable & handled like trucks.

As for the watch - don't bother.

Yes, the case, bezel and bracelet look to be the same as for the Turtle, although the dial, hands and movement of course are not. I have to say the oyster bracelets on the Turtles are excellent.

Hi

The only one that I've seen is any good was the monster for sale in Octane magazine with an 8 or 10 litre engine & complete with a speeding ticket for 218mph !
