Love the 2226.80 James Bond with the swirl on dial. Blue beauty from 2004 , best era for seamasters imho

I've got the A11 from Thorne. I paid $130 for it and it absolutely blew me away. By far one of my favorite watches in my big collection of mostly "expensive" watches. It was my first Chinese watch purchase and I couldn't be happier. Sapphire, feel, finishing, lume, its all an A+

Great review Mark. Got 2 of these today. A 20 and a 22. Just put the 22mm on my Arnie and you’re absolutely right, looks great and feels so comfortable. Thanks StrapHabit!

“Before G-Shock, watches were seen as delicate instruments”…..incredibly false statement. The Swiss were making ultra durable and reliable watches before the G-Shocks and many of those watches are actually still here today and even worth 10-15x there original price. Let’s not be ignorant or misinformed then perpetuating that to viewers.

I just ordered this watch for $400, and have been doing some research on it online, and watching videos. Super excited for it to arrive. I wish it still had the engraved case back, and the work alpinist in the dial.

The real question is when in the hell these guys are finally going to come out with their short strap version they've been promising for over 4 years now... I went with Joseph Bonnie instead and haven't regretted it, much better dimensions.

Did everyone face quality issues with this watch? I had to take mine to a watchmaker for cleaning, as there was a speck of paint pealed off from the dial wondering around under the crystal. The watchmaker also told me that I should rather not swim with this watch as the water resistant is questionable. Did anyone swim with it?

It's a lovely looking thing, but good god, that brand name? It reminds me of early Christopher Wards. I'd buy one if it wasn't for that. Oboe to Orifice? Ocelot to Onanism? What went through the owners' brains? I realise settling on a brand name must be a devil, but still. Such a shame because it really looks quite special.

you can always check with the vendor before ordering but all new inventory since 2022 has been with the updated edge, so you should be good, unless shopping on eBay where it could be old stock at a discounted price

The 22mm width can easily be squeezed into a 21mm lug, I personally use one of their 20mm on a 19mm lug, one of the benefits of how supple the material is.

I squeeze a similar 20mm Tropic strap into the 19mm lug of my Citizen and it works fine. There's a bit of rub at first, but it takes a set quickly. You just have to swap out the spring bars.

Rick Marei-despite some critics-definitely knows watches, and knows what watch buyers want. And bravo to him for resurrecting Aquastar & Synchron, and doing it right. I’d buy the Aquastar simply for the La Joux-Perret G100 movement, much better than anything ETA and Sellita have to offer.

This looks like it came out of the same mold that Joseph Bonnie, Wolbrook, and a few others make their Tropic straps from, which is nice because they're excellent. Looks like Tropic offers more colors than anyone else too. Maybe I'll buy my next from them!
