You guys have any thoughts on Graham. Thinking about making a move toward one. Something different looking, you know.

I'm a fan of big watches and I love Graham, but they're too extreme for me. IMO, it's a much more functional watch that should be used for sea dwelling, scuba, etc. vs an everyday watch or beater. I also think you're paying a huge premium for the name. A lot of other comPanies offer the same functionality at half the price - if not more.

Roff, you were looking for a new unusual watch. Not unusual enough for you?

Do you know anything about the movement they use? Any of them have an in house movement?

I'm just looking for something different, unusual, uncommon, but want a decent product for the money too. They list at about 10k, I would think 5-6k is more in line myself.

I just picked up a Anonimo Marlin 7001 - not sure if it's unusual enough for you, but I think it's a pretty unique line and not well known.

Im not an expert on them, but I think most (if not all) have basically stock ETA movements.

As I said in the thread that I linked to, I'm a big fan of the look, but not the price.

With the exception of the GMT like Ricardo has (which is in house, though I suspect outsourced) they are standard ETAs.
