Actually quite a good looking watch IMO.... priceiMO is a bit steep for a Miyota.... and I’m not a fan of the case back.

Nice 60's inspired dive design...tempting but as some of the lesser known brands are still quite affordable think I'd rather wear an original classic.
Should have never parted with my calypsomatic

I have my eyes for a while on this brand. They seem to aim at producing good quality 'assembled in France' pieces that explain the steep prices; they also made a good looking handwound bicompax that is 3 times more expensive than the seagull1963 while having the same movement (movements are checked an regulated in France though). The designs are nice but for the price (or a little bit higher) you can get much better IMHO (the YEMA superman heritage for instance; more expensive but with a nicer movement...)

Very nice looking watch indeed but I agree with [mention]Tanukjaju[/mention] about the case back - it's not that nice - I actually think it looks cheap.
IMHO the price is way too high. Consider that Steinhart can assemble a watch (with a Swiss movement) in Switzerland for
half the price! But that probably won't stop it from being a best seller
as it is very pretty.

These are gorgeous, I was going to grab it on pre-sale but I agree on with you on price and couldn't pull the trigger.

This model is very nice but as a good fan of Crepas I would go before for the new model of the brand, the Plogeur. It is very similar aesthetically and the silver dial almost makes me fall.

Some pics please. I just looked it up and it looks stunning. Price seems reasonable too considering specs.

Price is an issue
