Absolutely no connection to this other than a friend in the military mentioned he knows a few of the guys. Has anyone else seen this at all?

Not for me, the cringe factor is through the roof.

I really fancied the Tactical 2 Alpha until I saw the price.

[snedboy]

The marketing seems solely aimed at SAS wannabes

[OldHooky]

Won’t knock them for trying, but the brand name immediately makes me think of something Chinese. That makes it very hard to associate with something from Hereford, and at a high price for a start-up.

There are many, eg Elliot Brown, I’d choose over those.

But good luck to them. Feedback can only help.

Pagoda Troop was the callsign of the anti terrorist troop from B Squadron who stormed the Iranian embassy in 1980.

Their prices are a bit ballsy. They use the same movement as C Ward divers but are more expensive than a brand that is well established.

Ah well, Who Dares Wins...

Very good

Mmmm not for me.
The designs are a bit tacticool cliche.
Fair play for giving it a go.

[AberBoy]

Sounds like a candle fragrance, not for me !

[pseunomis]

Just been looking at these and actually quite like them. Has anyone actually seen one in the flesh?

At least 319 people on IG know about them.

[ditchvisitor]

There is nothing on the website what does your friend know about them?

Errr, ex Hereford blokes who like watches, that’s about it!! Apparently being made in Switzerland, he’s designing the Pilots watch, when I say friend I mean a guy I met in a meeting who noticed my 666 and we had a quick watch chat!

Website is now live….. I made a comment on their Instagram about it being blatantly obvious who they are targeting with the slogan “authenticity is everything” and then got instantly blocked!!

Who are they obviously targeting?

[Onelasttime]

They’re laying it on a bit thick aren’t they?

Not for me but good luck to them.

Authentic people, duh!

Robert De Niro but not Sean Bean?

You've got to know what colour the boat house is.

Mitties who want a tactical watch to go with their tactical boots tactical pants and tactical messenger bag to go down the tactical Spar?

[Jon Kenney]

Not so obvious then...

Robert De Niro but not Sean Bean?

Mitties who want a tactical watch to go with their tactical boots tactical pants and tactical messenger bag to go down the tactical Spar?

Single men who buy lots of ’tactical’ items and have extensive edged weapon collections

Spar-tans, then?

An elite unit of keyboard warriors with the call sign "Incel" and a .22 air rifle because .177 just ain't enough firepower.

But what’s the distinction between those and 200/1000m dive watches, in terms of mittiness?

Bremont, when I spoke to one of the guys his point was that they’ve ‘made up’ a story where as these guys are the real deal…..

Oooooooooooooooooh!

I have to admit, that never occurred to me at all.




P.S. Should I be asking: What colour is the Pagoda in Hereford?

Thanks. Got it now.

Reminds me of the old joke: "Of the 37 SAS men who stormed the Iranian Embassy only 72 are still alive"
