Well known brand, now owned by Frederique Constant as their sportier brand so a good pedigree and great value for money.

I was investigating one of their divers a while back, seemed like a good value. The local AD dropped/lost them and I never got to see them in the metal :( .

Not sure where you are located, but they do list their AD network on their website.

It is not totally accurate as I mentioned earlier one of them listed in my area is no longer an AD.
Good luck!

Yea my state doesn't have one. I might just call and order from a different state and get it shipped, probably no tax that way either. The only other solution is amazon or overstock. kinda sucks since I wanted to try it on.

I might add that they're having a good cooperation with Alpina cars. During the last Geneva Motor Show they had several exposed on their booth, mainly from the racing and club ranges.

Because they pride themselves on being extremely good value. Nothing odd about that, just not very common in the Swiss watch industry.

Make sure theyll let you send it back if you dont like it. A good dealer should allow that as long as it hasnt been worn.
