| Have you guys had time to check out this new watch company/brand based in Italy called Echo/Neutra? Or had a look at their Averau collection? Named after Mount Averau, and inspired by the Dolomites. The new watches have 42mm stainless steel, or PVD coated stainless steel cases, 100m WR, AR coated sapphire crystals, cool black, sunburst blue, or sand dials with Super-Luminova coated hands, and markers, nice stainless steel bracelet, and straps, Swiss STP 1-11, or 3-13 automatics behind exhibition case- backs, and more. Just a few pics... Monochrome watches, and Echo/Neutra with a lot more... [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]____________________________________ | |

| I love the hands, perfection. Dial had too much writing especially the word 'DATE'....on a $500 watch that is just crap. the old single jewel watches used to to this back in the 60's so it looked a day date...that is all I see. This watch uses several 'lies' on the dial in addition to the Date box. Eseikor, they would paint over the E and R, now you have a Seiko. The word 'Electra' at the time Electric, and Electronic were all the rage, this is an attempt to fool people into believing this is an Electronic watch. '23' on the dial, usually this is the jewel count but this doesn't say jewels. It's only a single jewel watch. Swiss parts not Swiss made on dial. ____________________________________ Later, GaryRemember we are the caretakers of mechanical art.....

What a spectacular history lesson here Gary, and I guess one that really does show that history actually does repeat itself sir ! It's funny, I think a lot of times companies/brands feel like the more they put on the dial the more professional, or cool looking it becomes. But it often ends up doing the opposite right?! Yowza, and with that Eseikor, I'm still smiling over adding the E, and R to Seiko like that. So funny ! To be honest, I was thinking this was an early off shoot division that Seiko had years ago, so it actually fooled me ! Wow, you evidently had, and still have to be on point with knowing your stuff when looking at not only new watches, but vintage ones too Gary ! ..Whether it's the Electra/Electronic thing, or way the date window was done, 23 on the dial, or Swiss Made thing. There seem to be quite a few interesting ways watch companies could get away with 'lies'. ..Although I have to say, this EseikoR can honestly get away with a lot of those lies because it's so different, and funky if you ask me ! Love the red disco style dial, and then way the case/inner ring/bezel closes in around it like that ! Now Gary, is this watch yours' by the way sir? For some reason, I'm not remembering you having it. In any case, some awesome insight, along with info here. ..Thanks very very much !!! ____________________________________ | |

| Oh yeah it's mine....I haven't worn it on my vintage run for a few years, it used to keep very good time. It's such a weird watch that usually I don't ever wear it. ____________________________________ Later, GaryRemember we are the caretakers of mechanical art.....

Awesome Gary !!! Wasn’t sure if it was actually your pic, or not. But wow, it is a neat looking watch. Even if it has all of those so called weird aspects about it. ..It’s like an ultra funky limited edition really sir ! ____________________________________ | |
