My wife was so smitten by the full lume dial of the Northstar, that she asked to buy it..

Which reminds me, I don't have any white dial watch. :s13:

wan cheap, wont be good
want good, wont be cheap

besides, i think no one ever complained about K2 pricing before leh, their price is always fair.

ok la, i recently bring my watch to watch klinik for repair, you try ask them for quote over the phone then you see if K2 is considered cheap/exp. You can also google for other shops to see what is the market rate

You miscom with his English la.. He says besides K2, meaning he recognizes that K2 is cheap.. but want to get other options.

anyone come across this watch - gorilla?

https://www.gorillawatches.ch/

the build and design really looks good.
saw it going for around 1.2k in retail

Had it before, if you like the design go for it, but it's on the large side. Also very high price for what it is compared to other microbrands - but it's up to you to decide whether you like it. I didn't mind paying a premium price for my Movas, for example.

If you look at their hatchback, and you like the materials, then Vilhelm will be slightly cheaper but with a more premium movement.

Just to note that the strap is impossible to change unless you are very mechanically inclined, as the fit is extremely snug.

i love big watches..
most of my watches are at least 50mm...
like U boat

i do find the pricing quite hefty...
but the saleperson saying the built is quality and in future, price will appreciate? :s13:
the designer used to be the helm of some reputable watch brand..

everything is good, except i can't really tell the time well...
the design is similar to 7friday..
always a pain to tell time..

the strap is cool.. cost around $130 each..
yes.. the fit is extremely well and comfortable
