I just ordered a Choisi Primomano Black Carbone (47mm) this week from Ocean7. Supposedly he was helping out on clearing there inventory due to the owner passing away. The new owner is taking a different path by stop making timepieces and just making ebauche.
I just wanted to know if n e one knows n e thing about this company or has n e good feed back on them. All i know is that they've been around since 1929.
The watches are all swiss made and the one i order had a ETA/Unitas 6498-2 cote de geneve Movt. (is it be a reliable movt.? :?: ) with a open back.

Thanks

They have a good reputation as an ebauche modifier so I'm sure that the movement will be solid. No experience with the watches thrmselves.

Choisi is very old Swiss brand... they have been around for a while.

My grandfather wore this one. It's now in my possession.

Got it in this week, and im actually really impressed by it. The only complaint is the stap, and that will be changed prob in the next 2 wks. But all in all pretty sick piece.

Pictures as promised also ill try and take some pics of the one my friend picked up....his looks like an iwc big pilot.
& sorry for the blah photos i was never any good with a camera!
