I've found another brand I can afford and if this first watch is an indication of the quality, yet feel as if I am wearing a watch that should cost a lot more. The bracelet is highly polished and quite substantial. The case is heavy and well put together. The dial is typical Swiss multifunction....totally useless. I can't read the sub dials, and since I'm hitting the big 40 shortly, I doubt my eyesight is going to improve. But I like the look of the dial and subdials though the functions ain't there. It's a very white dial and the bezel that really jump out at you and give you the Breitling Bentley look. It's 46mm so it's a big boy and larger than the Invicta Flight collection watch I own, which is similar in looks and quality to this watch. The watch also shipped with a rubber strap and the tool to remove the bracelet. I'm a bit afraid to try it though since I am not a handyman and can see myself messing the bracelet up. But I guess I'll work up the courage to try it. Here it is [/img]

Very nice! But 46mm? That is quite large. BTW, which dial did you get?

Yep it's from TT's spot. And I went with the white.
Thanks fellas. I've heard in the other thread Akribos and Sthurling are part of the same company. Don't know anything about that, but the head honcho was on the tele with TT. I forget his name.

I'd say it's at the same level.
