    Any Spinnaker recommendations out there?

    I've come across a few watches of theirs that I really like the look of, but don't know much about them first hand.

    Any owners care to throw in their 2 cents?

    Also, I just noticed that they have 20% off any watch on their site at the moment as well, so that's adding fuel to the fire!

    Can vouch for anything with the Seiko NH35 movement in it, reliable, robust and solid time-keeping.

    I've a Hull Chronograph and I like it.

    Quality is ok, not premium, but easily good enough for the money.

    Mine is quartz, but as the post above/below says, anything with an NH3* movement will be robust and reliable.

    If you like some of their watches, there's no reason not to buy.

    PS they seem to have a continuous 20% off their watches, sometimes it's even better.

    As above, good for the money though I do think the dial finishing is a weak point on the one I have.

    I have a Bradner which has a wafer thin beads of rice bracelet and not the best build quality but I also bought a Black Piccard which has an exceptional build quality, great bracelet awesome bezel, crown winding and is really impressive..... so much so that I then bought the green version. All three have the NH35 movement running at -5, -1 and +1 sec per day.

    Overall I'd say they are good value for money, the Piccard seriously so...... and the Piccard is due back in stock first half of July.

    Thanks for all the heads up folks!

    Yeah, it was the NH35 movement that made me seriously consider their watches. That and the aesthetics obviously.

    I love the Bradner case shape and the Dumas dial, and everything about the Arctic Blue Hull Diver (photo from website). I'm a sucker for a blue dive watch!

    But wow, I've never seen the likes of the Piccard before! How does that crystal fare after a few wears? It looks stunning, but not sure how practical it would be for me.

    Funny timing that! Here's a Watchfinder video review of it...

    The crystal does stick out a bit but it is sapphire and has held up so far.....it is surprisingly comfortable to wear on a 7.25inch wrist
