Would someone be able to tell me the quality of Trias watches? I was on their site thanks to Ken for posting it and it looks like they have some fine designs. Also, what type of quality are they, heavy, f/f, etc. and where is the best place to purchase them? Thanks!!
Gregger.....mcwright has many of them. I only have 2. Let me discuss the 1st one which is the Trias with Unitas 6498 movement: (picture below)
Item: Trias Cushion Case Swiss Hand Wind Unitas Watch #3558-6498
Description: Men's watch with Swiss made hand wound 17 jewel Unitas 6498 movement, black dial, silver luminescent hands, separate seconds register, front mineral crystal, exhibition back.
Case: Solid stainless steel, polished, 43 mm diameter (w/o crown) x 14 mm thick, exhibition back.
Band: Black leather, buckle closure, 22 mm
Water Resistance: 3 ATM
Warranty: 2 Years
Price: $219 + S&H
This is a superb watch with a Swiss Made movement in a Stainless Steel Swiss Made case and high quality leather strap. It is a handsome, heavy watch that is very accurate with fit and finish second to none. It IMHO is one of the finest values in a Swiss Made watch. Others might complain that it does not have a sapphire crystal.......I do not. At $200 +/-, they cannot be beat. I got mine from Marc at http://www.longislandwatch.com and believe his prices to be reasonable and his Customer Service, excellent!
The second one I got is one of their Asian models. While not the quality and weight of their Swiss Made piece, at $99 shipped, it was still a good value with good fit & finish. The strap seemed very cheap, but that is a minor point.
I fully intend to get another TRIAS "Swiss" this year. Most likely the "Backgammon".
