Well, had a look at these watches today and was not overly impressed...

I must have looked at 15 different watches...chronos, pilot style, 3-hand stealth model...all had SOME minor defect. At first glance they looked GREAT but all had problems such as bad black IP coating, nicks in case, poorly aligned hands, sub standard lume. I was talking with Barnbuilder on the phone about them while looking; he said the attention to detail wasnt the greatest and he was right...

I REALLY wanted to buy a watch today but didn't FORCE the issue and I'm glad...

Had to google the name as I've never heard the brand before. Wow, some gorgeous looking styles for sure. Sorry to hear that you couldn't find one that wasn't blemished in some fashion. Thanks for the heads up though and sharing that fact as some of the other guys may be looking as well. I take it you went to an AD and looked? Or was it some type of chain store? just curious.

I just checked out the website. Some good looking styles but There is a watch that looks way too much like an NFW Autopilot including a trident ended second hand.

Never held one in my hand but the pictures i've seen they cant come close to the quality of NFW!!

I looked at some a few months ago at Precision Time. (I think it's sort of like a "house brand" for them)

I had the same experience aas Alan.

Tons of issues from a minute hand that "jumped" with every tick of the second hand to a missing hand.


I wouldn't touch the brand after my first encounter.
