    Excellent thanks. Stunning watches and I bet pretty bomb-proof.

    Looks good, seeing hints of Sinn and Damasko in there.

    More than a hint I'd say!

    Especially Damasko, though side-by-side they are different in every detail -



    I'd have one if I had the £££ to spare, seems an utter bargain.

    Arrived today



    Now on canvas but the bracelet is nicely made, screw links with micro adjust overall build quality packaging excellent even at todays price point.

    Note Draken ship via DHL so you will get charged VAT and duty.

    Looks as good as it did in promotional pics and videos. It is an amazing deal.

    I like the look of that. It would have to be the black dial for me.

    Have any other Tzers bought a Kruger?

    The white dial DLC version tempts me as I would like one quartz watch. It is deeply appealing, 44mm is the right size, I would like to try a DLC watch and the full lume dial is also interesting. The Seiko movement and nice build quality make the Kruger a good deal at £420.

    Misread the title and will now forever know this watch as the Dunning-Kruger.

    Name aside, I quite like the look of it, especially the white dial version. Sadly got here too late for the early-bird pricing, so now I'm just going to wait and see what people say about the quality. I watched the video in the OP and the dial printing doesn't look great. But that might only have been a prototype sent out for review. Also the Invicta-style lettering debossed on the side of the case would probably annoy me and I wish they'd made it 40-42mm instead of 44.

    No other members with a Kruger, specifically the DLC version? Very little on the net about his version and the temptation is still calling.

    For those like me who have been on the fence Draken has a 15% off sale on now. I just ordered a Kruger DLC white dial for £351, for what it is that's exceptional value.

    My white dial DLC arrived just before Christmas. It is a great looking watch and the quality is better than you could rightly expect for the price. The DLC coating is nice and even but it does make the watch look like it may be made from plastic. It looks great on the wrist, I just need to remove a few links but I am a little wary of scratching the DLC.

    Did anybody have any issues with removing links, hairdryer for 10 secs and easy peasy?

    You need a tiny head screwdriver, they really are very small slots, but they came out just fine when I changed mine.

    Thanks for the confirmation on the bracelet, it all went fine as you describe :)

    What a great watch this is. Nicely made and fantastic legibility too. It is ideal for me as I wanted one interesting quartz watch.
