I am interested in their Pilot series watches. Specifically:

Isn't it too expensive for a simple looking watch from a company without any heritage? What is their USP?

Also that's the Ireland flag not the Indian flag to be pedantic

Any reviews of this firm /products? That's quite a big ticket item.

Re: Which watch do you own?

Hi all - a friend of mine is traveling to Switzerland and I have been doing some research online if I can get a swizz watch (automatic or mechanical) within USD 1,000. I won't get a fancy brand in my budget, but if anyone can share the feedback/suggestions about lesser known swiss brands which can be considered, I will be grateful. Thanks.

Re: Which watch do you own?

Bought Galaxy watch 3 at an effective price of Rs 6,999/- from Croma. The only inconvenience of dealing with Croma (or Tata Neu) is, they wanted me to pick the watch from one of their stores and the one nearest to me was not available for choosing.

Happy with the watch except for its weight and battery back-up :(

How did you get to that price? Exchange offer? I currently see the cheapest option around 12k, inclusive of any credit card discounts

Longines and Oris should have some options in your budget or slightly more. You can also look at Sinn and Nomos, these are German brands but should be available across Europe.

Re: Which watch do you own?

Picked up my first new Rolex, 36mm TT Rolex Explorer (Ref 124273). I had put my name on the list a few months and was totally surprised to get the call a few days ago. Totally stoked, first gold watch of any sort

Re: Which watch do you own?

Croma had an offer of 5000 cash back (after 90 days) for CC interest free
EMI transactions.

Thats how I got it for effective price of 6,999.

Re: Which watch do you own?

I don't own a watch. I check the time on my mobile phone. I was planning to buy a smartwatch, but most of the popular (read Apple, Samsung) watches are beyond my budget. For the time being I have shelved plans of purchasing a wrist watch and will continue using my mobile (with always on display!) to check the time.

Right and wrong. They got the orientation right as indian flag is used vertically on the body of flights. But the order is wrong and correlates with Ireland flag.

The Indian flag is not used on the body of the planes. Every Air Force (of every country) uses a sign on their tail-fin. It is called a "Fin-flash". The Fin-flash of the Indian Air force has green first, followed by white and orange on one side of the aircraft. On the other side has orange first, followed by white and green. It is odd, but the depiction on this watch is accurate.

Re: Which watch do you own?

I found this bauhaus (hmt jubilee) lying unused in my parents' home. It belongs to my father and he had stopped using it some 20 years ago. I was pleasantly surprised when it started ticking after winding it. It is still with the original nylon strap and I can spot some fungus on the dial. Should I just start using it as it is or get it serviced once?

Re: Which watch do you own?

The offer is back on Croma and do not know for how long.

When you are placing order, select interest free EMI on any card to get back 5000 cash back.

Goodluck
