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!!

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".

I have three Trias watches now and love them all. The best looking of the three (in my opinion) is this one:

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.
