    Really? You call this "safe"?!



    Sure the styling is a mite derivative - but that's a lose-lose bet anyway: do something different and the exact same people will complain it's too out there!

    Like it or loathe it, it's a far-from lousy riff on Grand Seiko' schtick, but for £300 - pretty ballsy move - and unlike 95% of the brag-factor brands, they've even bothered to colour-match the date wheels!

    I expected the NH36 to be fitted, but no, it’s a Miyota 9015, even better for that price.

    Love the purple version.
    Got a new watch, divers watch it is, had to drown the bastard to get it!

    If anyone wants to make me like a watch, slagging off Cartier isn't the way to go about it, all it does is tell me that we appreciate different things.

    Also, chippy af.

    Pity that its only really a bargain if you are in Australia.

    As they are charging the price including Australian Sales Tax on exports, so we pay VAT on top of the Australian tax too. Plus international shipping at cost, with no deduction of the domestic (inclusive) shipping costs.

    Clearly making a fatter margin on exports, which puts me off.
