    This looks like a winner

    Quite like this new offering from Crafter Blue. Strong inspiration from the Zenith chronograph but aesthetically even more pleasing.

    Move the depth rating to the lower half of the dial and remove the rest of the words on the lower half and it’s a winner for me. Too much clutter and text for me. Pelagositis

    I like it too but not $1100 like it.

    This however is a winner for me; 600m WR and a Sellita auto movement for $869 with bracelet and rubber:

    I think price is quite fair for its specs and an NE86A movement.

    Not for me sorry and the name makes me think of a brand of butter or supermarket cheese.

    It's OK, but it doesn't particularly appeal to me.

    Price probably isn't bad, but I can think of many watches I'd take in preference to this one.

    That said, I'm not a huge fan of white dials, so maybe it was never going to really grab me.

    I do agree on the overly verbose dial comments though.

    I like that but it's too thick for me.


    Not keen on the male end link on the bracelet either, always makes the watch wear bigger for me.

    I sort of like the orange and blue thing especially in a chrono it's nice. However that pricetag from a brand i've not heard of, no thanks. The crown is a smidge too large in my opinion.

    It would look nice on a nice orange rubber strap.

    I prefer the black version, especially on rubber but not nearly enough to part with my money. The case shape reminds me of the Sumo Chronograph for some reason.

    The chamfer on the lugs is Sumo-like.

    Too much going on for me.

    There are a couple of live Photo’s on the website. It looks much better than the renders. The price seems pretty good for the movement.
