Excellent review as always Ricardo.
Just one thing I don't agree with - where you say the person who like's the Grillo will probably "
own a vintage VW Camper Van as their daily driver. Someone who wears a hat with ear flaps on all year round. They probably have a tattoo". In that case I should hate the Grillo as those are all things that I generally dislike intensely, and yet I've always liked both the Grillo and the Swordfish!
(Apologies to anyway who has any or all of those things Ricardo mentions BTW!)
There's no doubting the superb finish on these watches...... I just wish they'd stick a bit more effort into the movements as they still use an awful lot of quite standard ETA fare in what are quite expensive pieces. Great works of art though, and once again, great review Ricardo.
Thank You Mr 8,
I can understand where you are coming from with my generalised statement about potential customers for the Grillo. What I was trying to convey was that the owner of one of these awesome timepieces would be willing to pay a large sum of money for something that is considered unattractive by many (as you proved with your statement about hating these things intensely). As I said, I was generalising to try and make a point.
Incidentally, if you were willing to take the risk yourself then this particular brand new Grillo is being offered with an incredible discount over retail (lets just say its over 50% off!). Contact me if you're interested.
Thanks again for your kind words.

But I'm guessing that it'll still be in the 3K to 3.5K range.... which, while I like the styling and the finish, is still just way too much IMO for what's inside. Still cool looking watches though.
