Ewatches.com legit?
Click to expand...

Ewatches looks like it is a part of the SWI group which have brands like SWI Swiss Watch International, Swiss Legend, red line, a_line, Lucien Piccard and Cabochon which I would liken to the Invicta brand with their inflated MSRPs and poor customer service. Looking at the reselleratings, customer service is the biggest issue with Ewatches. You might be better off ordering from their amazon page or Amazon themselves for a better piece of mind.

That Casio Submariner ain't bad at all. I'd rock one with a Nato strap but I think I have enough cheaper watches already. Need to save for a Portuguese so I can have it in my life.
 
Told myself once I finished paying off my law school student loans that I would reward myself with an opportunity to be fiscally irresponsible towards a watch expenditure.

I'm almost committed to this beautiful construction: http://www.bobswatches.com/rolex-datejust-bark-accents.html. An all gold Rolox has always been an aspiration of mine. It's just the epitome of dopeness to me but I had a couple questions for the tenured folks in the game.

With regards to the seller. Can anyone vouch for the legitimacy of this company? From everything I've read, it seems like a reputable operation but I suppose it doesn't hurt to be overly diligent in a transaction of this magnitude.

Much obliged for the help.

Y4BBZY Y4BBZY I want more info please! I'm about to cop this watch now. I'm a newbie to NATO bands though. Do I need to cop a 22mm strap?

The Casio Marlin has a 22mm lug width. It does come with a 22mm Resin strap.

If you want to change the strap, you need a strap changing tool to remove the strap. I have included 2 videos that should help you remove the existing band using the spring bar tool, while the other video will show you how to install and wear the Nato straps.







I listed a recommended site for decent straps and natos below

what's the word on Parnis?
Click to expand...

Parnis is not a watch company. It is assembled by various individuals with varying watchmaking individuals from no skills to some. These watches are assembled using different watch parts that are usually leftovers from fake watches. Quality control is usually non existent with many defects on the watch from inconsistent lume, no oil, fingerprints, etc. I do not recommend these watches unless you feel comfortable tweaking the watch or sending it back to China if the watch breaks. For around $100, your money is better spent on a Citizen or Seiko.

I really don't mess with homages that are direct copies minus the name change. I don't know anything about the Rodina but if It was a choice between that and a black sub. I would pick up the Invicta 8926ob all day on Amazon for under $100. The 8926ob has the NH35 movement that hacks and handwinds with 200M WR. Another positive is if you buy from amazon, it is cheaper to return than a parnis sub from china. The 8926ob is the only Invicta I have no problem recommending.
 
I think my next major pick up will be the Bulova 98b104, I've been eying it for quite some time now
 
Copped the mako when it was on sale couple weeks back.
