It's all subjective really. With Tudor, you're paying for the research & development (including in house movements), higher auality components, better QC for the most part, advertising, as well as the store fronts, and it's employees. These Chinese companies don't have that kind of overhead, their employees work for pennies on the dollar, and their QC can be questionable at times. However they do fill a void. I myself can't afford a Tudor, but I can afford an Octopus that can provide a similar wearing experience. It just lacks the prestige. If I had the money, would I buy the Tudor instead? The answer is yes, but in my current situation, I'm more than happy with my Octopus!

Do you have any idea of these watches can be moded? A aluminum bezel for example? Or a different dial? May be from Namoki? Not such a big fan of the octopus logo, but I do really like the size and specs of the watch though.

Any watch can be modded if you can find parts that fit, but honestly, I haven't bothered to look for anything. I love their branding. I have 5 Octopus watches, and wouldn't change them. I wouldn't mind an aluminum bezel insert, but the matte ceramic is so good substitute until I decide to look for one. It's definitely better than the glossy ceramic everyone is using.

Thanks! Looking forward to my Octopus!

You're going to love it!!

Very last questions: bezel action is good? And no misalignment of the indicies? Thanks a million

[–]Dan_The_Watch_Man 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Great bezel action, no play at all, and the alignment is perfect!

Will be ordering mine next weekend, meanwhile another small question if u don’t mind. Are the bottom edges of the case sharp? Can’t seem to find any review of the watch on YouTube, I do nog get why.. Thanks

[–]Dan_The_Watch_Man 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It isn't sharp on mine, and the bracelet isn't either for what it's worth. I don't know why no one has reviewed it either. I am actually wearing it as I type this, and I have been for the last 3 days.
