Very interesting watch, thanks for bringing it up. Here's a tip for Henry London: keep the size but increase lug width to 18mm, drop the "female watch" thing and sell it as a vintage-styled dress watch or something and offer more options, perhaps one with date but not a single one with seconds hands to keep the "mechanical" appearance. Result, an extremely interesting offering at a nice price to fill that gap in modern watches, the lack of vintage-styled, dress pieces.
Yep. That would be an amazing line up! I would love to see this watch in a dark dial version. On the lugs, I say keep the 16mm, BUT make 18mm options. I actually dig the small strap - and I'm always down for more options :) Thanks so much for the feedback! 🍸🍸
I admit, I too was pleasantly surprised how good this watch was when it arrived. Found the strap a little tough at first but bar that it’s a mega value piece. Definitely mid century 50s vibes. I love finding little gold nuggets like this.
Yeah - usually super affordable pieces FEEL like it, and as much as I like them they just don't call to me. This one 's an exception, I've been wearing it quite a bit. Thanks again for the suggestion! 🍸🍸
I would suggest you one more watch. I don't know if you have Access to the german Brand Dugena. It's actually an old german brand founded by Swiss watchmaker companies. But these days it is more an adfordable brand which I often ignired. Today I tryed for the very first time the Dugena Tresor 4460912. It's a kind of Rolex Explorer style fir 250 Euro (210 in the internet). I was totally stunnend by the quality for this price. Especially of the very comfortable bracelet. Dugena uses Miyota movements. Other parts are also expected to be delivered from far east. But the ensembling is made in germany and the quality control is quite high. Plus Saphire christal and 39mm. I guess that's a perfect watch for those who have that Rolex Explorer itch.
@@KillingTimeWithNorman Hi Norman. Absolutely gorgeous watch & at a fantastic price, but it was dead on arrival. Changed the battery & accidentally scratched the back. I do wish retailers would check these things before shipping.
I know a guy called Henry - from London - he will do literally ANYTHING for £27 - on the downside he also measures 34mm where it matters - shame really - he’s otherwise a blast

I love seeing these super affordable watches. Hard to find the good amongst the bad.
Yeah! This watch was an absolute shocker - It actually gets a ton of wrist time.

Very nice find Norm ,love that dial .
Yeah! It is a very deceptive watch, doesn't seem like a cheapy at all.
Such a relief to see you in black and white again, that Palm Springs one was searing, nice little no date that,I've spent more on worse..
lol Don't get too comfortable - you will see that shirt again :)
🍸🍸
Great find, Norman! Love the dial, and the proportions are very mid-century. Case reminds me of my Marlin hand wound.
Yeah! I saw a vintage piece w/ the same exact case the other day.
Love the fact it's a quartz with no seconds hand.
Totally!! 🍸🍸

Oh thank you for that tip! I'll check them out!
Hi Norman. Your Henry certainly looks the part. They also offer a range of automatics, but I don't know about the quality.
I looked at their catalog - and didn't see anything other than this one - I'll check other sources. Thanks mang!
@@KillingTimeWithNorman Watch Shop UK sells them I think.
Just picked one up from Amazon for £23.99 free shipping. Hoping I’m as impressed as you were 🙏
Yeah! I wanna know what you think of it!
@@KillingTimeWithNorman I’ll let you know tomorrow 👍
@@THE7THT0WN Ooooo! So soon!! Cool!
