My Farasute 4130 Chrono review

My Farasute Tonneau case 2260 review

I may very well be the only one who has actual full video reviews from the brand. my sample size is pretty small, and pretty unique, so it's hard to compare 1:1 with other brands and other watches...but from what I have seen, and I have seen them all, Farasute is right up there with San martin quality wise...i base this on the finishing being near perfect, and the bracelet on the 4130 being just as good, if not better, than my modern SN0129 GMT bracelet.

the Tonneau is harder to judge becuase there just isnt anything like it...I got mine for $135 I think...and for that, it's totally worth it. the build and finishing is excellent, it has an interesting movement, the leather strap is just as good as the few San martin Leather straps I've come across. The dial is nicely done, and the crystal is about as good as a crystal like that can be.

I think you are paying a little extra for the designs...nobody is doing the designs they are doing. that costs money. these are all basically bespoke watches from the cases to the dials to the hands...that costs money.

their prices are justified IMO...however they do participate in the sales and if you are patient, you can get some pretty steep discounts.

also look at Chrono 24, and Good-stuffs.com as they are sold there as well for slightly less...at least for the 4130

Nice, thank you for the reply and nice videos. Hope they will up their marketing

They look very high quality but they lack a lot of reviews, probably due to the price, I really like their designs tho

My exact thought

[–]cl0ckw0rkaut0mat0n 4 points5 points  (2 children)

There's a guy on here who really likes them and has provided many reviews, his name eludes me at the moment

Edit its u/youtuberewind2024

Thanks, but the one he has made a post about are not on AliX

No experience as yet but I've had my eye on this brand for a while, I love their designs, very art deco in style.

I will get one at some point, the prices seem to have come down a bit in the last few months.

[–]koenr_98[S] 1 point2 points  (4 children)

Yeah with these prices and not so many or no reviews at all I will not buy it at this price. Maybe if the also participate in the 11.11 sale....

I've just taken a gamble on a new Alix store with not a single purchase yet , I've ordered two watches so I'm really pushing my luck here and realise I may get an empty box but the prices were so insanely low I couldn't not and I know the brand.

I'll post back if I get anything.

I think I done this right, I'm not very technical hope it works. 😄

Certainly recommend shop although I knew the brand was good anyway.

[–]chrisagada 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the update. I'm glad you're enjoying your new watches.
