I have four d.freemonts (Ancyent Marinere, Panama, 100 Years of Flight, and the Rock. Ctr.) and they are incredible quality and value for the money-- any other company would charge twice as much for these watches. And the customer service is top notch. From what I've heard, other small companies that fall into this catagory are Stowa/Schauer and maybe RLT of England. That's why I'm definitely getting a Stowa soon. But first I need to pay off some recent purchases in the last couple of months. Let's see... the Sinn, the Meistersinger, that Nivrel (the german one, not the crap Italian one), the two Longines and vintage Rado (hey, they were 70% off-- what could I do?), that lot of 4 G-Shocks I won on da'Bay (why do they say "won" when you have to pay?), oh, and the two Mido that are on the way..... hmmm, this could take a while...

I own the Panama too, and it's a damn fine watch; that's a real good price.
Also, check out #4: d.freemont 36mm dress Rockefeller Center
I have this with orange dial and gunmetal hands/indicies and it's high quality fit and finish with ETA 2824-- a little small for most, but I have small wrists.
I saw that Davosa Peseux couple of weeks ago and it is at a great price even used, but I've been eyeing the Stowa Antea KS that uses the same movement, and would prefer to put the money toward that. Also, the Peseaux is a small movement-- it can fit in a 35mm case, so it's going to look kind of tiny in that 38mm case.

Any one own any watches with it or have any info on it?

This is why I am asking the used watches that David are selling at the bottom of the page. I own the Panama and recomend it. Has an engine turned bezel and is a limited edition with a 2824-2.
