    Spinnaker Watches

    So what's the forums concerted opinion of the Spinnaker brand?



    £330 quid with a Seiko movement and 200m WR.

    I bought one a while ago. First one had faults, as did the replacement. I gave up...

    They are quite cheap and nasty looking in real life IMO. Most of them have a rather nasty bumpy plastic dial

    No problems with mine, well built and very good timekeeping.

    As mentioned before, not as well finished as the photos suggest and mine keeps poor time. Plus the leather strap with mine had the refinement of something designed to hold a rampaging elephant in check

    justonemorewatch has reviewed some. He seems to give pretty unbiased reviews and quite liked the most recent one iirc.

    I've got the Tesei Bronze and love it, ceramic bezel, sapphire crystal, display case back with a Selitta SW200 movement.

    i had the bronze tesei. I had a problem with bezel moving hard, but little bit of oil did the trick :)

    I watched a bit of this channel last night. Very informative presenters, Vostok Europe are one of the worlds greatest watchmakers, their citizen quartz movements are some of the most complicated ever developed, the collectors go wild for them and they’re definite investment pieces. Who knew?

    Frequently the size of a dinner plate.

    It's the "hand made" Constantin Weiss that makes me laugh, they do have the odd Traser on there too.
