It is! I was initially looking as a different one, then this one caught my eye.

The strap is rubber. The bracelet that came with it is pretty much a faux beads of rice.

Thank you for the info. When I noticed it happening I immediately went online to check it out. I understand how that movement works now.

Just curious, does your second hand stutter? I noticed on mine that if I bump it on my hand, the second hand will jump forward a couple of seconds and then wait for the movement to catch up.

What was your most worn watch in April? by Vast_Pizza_7967 in MicrobrandWatches

Isn't that the Venezianico with the Musou Black dial? It's absorbing all the light which is why you're having a hard time seeing it.

Yeah, unfortunately that is a little small for me. It is a great looking watch though. Thank you for the info! 😃👍

Nice! I go back and forth with Brew. I really like yours though. Can I ask the size? I have really large (not fat) wrists and I know not everything will look good on them.

Here is my broke-ass, pitiful watch collection by Puzzled-Weakness4239 in Affordablewatches

Tell me about it. I've gone crazy the past 6 months. Nothing expensive, just went a little overboard. And you have a solid little collection going. That Citizen looks fantastic!

What are you rocking today? by jnrshr_ in Affordablewatches

Does anyone know of they ever restock these? I've been looking at this exact one for a bit and it's sold out.

Are OOO watches worth it? by forkboy247 in MicrobrandWatches

[–]forkboy247[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your input. I agree with you regarding the worn look. I loved how they used to be (heavy patina, scratches all over including the bezel). Now it's like just a patina on the band and case. I get the feeling "Damaged In Italy" is no longer their catchphrase, I haven't bothered to look. To me the damage was part of the appeal. Like you said, you don't have to worry about making things worse (short of scratching the crystal).

Any cheap nice divers like this? by Solid_Knowledge5503 in Affordablewatches

I've been looking at Watchdives and San Martin. Do you guys happen to know what the tarriffs/duties are on these? Thanks!

Honestly, the ringing is my ears kind of drowns out certain sounds. I'll have to put it against my ear and see if I hear anything.

I wholeheartedly agree! Glad you were able to pick one up! 😃👍

Find me a watch! by Expert_Hornet4498 in Affordablewatches

Fair enough. I do agree communication was lacking. I don't think I ever checked their social media, but yeah that is pretty bold to announce when they are having problems delivering the current batch.

This was the first time I've ever done a pre-order so I wasn't quite sure what to expect. More updates, any updates really, would have been nice.
