Yes, it is well put.........but the old "get what you pay for" adage is a triple edged sword, as many times you get more than you pay for, and many times, less than you pay for. Here is my problem with Forums and start up watches............when someone pays "up the nose" for a start-up watch.........his post (normally) are going to be very favorable. Many, if not most, of us would be very reticent to post and admit to others (and even ourselves) that we were duped, disappointed, way over paid, yadda, yadda, yadda! So most of the intitial reports are going to be very favorable. It is usually weeks later that the watches are posted for sale at a loss by someone who "loves the watch but is selling to get a grail"! JMHO, but payin 8 bills for a watch not even in production............is risky!

I would be searching the forums for a Stowa Seatime instead...there are Ocean7's already selling for less on the sales forums ....remember not every Watch becomes a Dreadnought and quadruples in price!time2.gifBuy what You like based on your research and experience learned on these forums...and most of all read and learn from those who really know and not those who only want to sellwatch2.gifjust my nickle:D Good points "O", I've looked at O7 forum and it seems as if they are all happy campers....with one exception...he sold it!! As I don't purchase the volume of watches 3T members do..I like to make each purchase count..that's why I ask tons of stupid questions so I can make a good choice....

Well, just wanted to chime in, as being one who paid almost 8 bills for a pre-production watch from our friend in Hawaii. While I could have bought others at that price like a Stowa, I liked the design and figured I was helping a fellow WIS in his startup by purchasing one (also a guy to whom customer service is more important than making a buck). And, in case u couldnt tell from my avatar, I have pre-ordered the Ocean7 LM-2. IMHO, a great design, which was influenced by those on the Ocean7 forum. While it does have a striking resemblance to the Glycine Lagunare (retailing at twice the price), their are enough unique design features to make it a worthwhile purchase (translation - will get a lot of wrist time). Bottom line is, as was said here earlier, I buy a watch because I like it and want to wear it (regardless of the brand, cost or cult appeal). Anyway, just my two cents guys... Steve H.
