 KEN C is right. I have a bunch of Trias watches. Eleven at last count. Enough to fill one watch box. The quality of the ones I have is excellent. Nine out of the eleven are Swiss Made with Swiss Unitas or ETA Auto movements. The Swiss Made Unitas models are a bargain. There is no other way to put it. And, I am VERY happy with all of my Swiss ETA Trias models. In particular, I like the cushion case. I can't explain it, but it is very comfortable to wear.

I don't go in much for the Trias models with multiple funcitons that are Asian made and mostly found on eBay. I'd stick with the standard Pilot style Trias autos and others like that if you buy off of eBay. Most all of my Trias watches came from Island Watch http://www.longislandwatch.com Marc Frankel is great to deal with and ships fast.

Trias does have their own service and they pay for return shipping. You have to have a dealer stamped or signed warranty card to get warranty service. I have sent in a watch and turn around was about 4-6 weeks. Much better than Invicta here in the states, I might add.

Another brand I have had great luck with is Elysee. Unlike Trias, all of my Elysee watches are Asian movements (I think). I have two quartz Chronos too. Very nice watches for the dollars invested.
