Anyone have any experience with these?

I have an opportunity to get this piece at a reasonable cost, but have no experience with the brand.

I owned a quartz ML a couple of years back, so I can't really speak for their autos. The quartz model I had was quite nicely built - better than say a Seiko, but a long way from Breitling quality. I believe they have improved somewhat recently.

Hello Roffesian,

I carry the brand, and think it is really good value for money. Only problem is, that they don't have the prestige of the old mechanical watch companies.

The model You have linked to is a bit of a problem. In normal light, You can hardly see the hands. Have a look at the real thing, before You buy one, and have it checked under different light conditions. I did not order it when it was presented, but I have sold one already (so I have reordered it and its still on stock)

Thanks Thomas, I'm supposed to be looking at it tomorrow, along with the Oris skeleton (not the F1) - I'm leaning towards Oris right now.
