Haven't heard of them before, Gregger and from the name of the company, I can only suspect it's a US-based limited liability company. Would you know where the watches are made? i don't seem to recall any mention of origin. However, I think the Six Pounder looks ok. The hands are a bit on the avant garde side but still acceptable aesthetically. Maybe Oscar or Mark or John would know. |

Well, those guys don't say where they are from...Just that they are "Strong Christians" who wanted a "Biblical name" inspired, like Red Sea... Super funny: As they wanted to make a "Pirate inspired" watch called after a canon...The Six Pounder. Since when pirates was christians? You can't be pirate when you are a bible reader: Not in my book. Let's be serious: Pirates was stealing from the kings and the churches... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piracy Not to confuse with Corsairs who was sometimes earlier pirates reconverted and under the autority of the king/church. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corsair For the watches: Nothing special...Been there seen that: Long ago. Orsa is just an exemple. The Miyota isn't for me but it could satisfie many: Why not. I don't give 500-600 buks for it, Orsa made the Sea-Angler cheaper(350$) and with 2824-2 ETA movement, also the Orsa models have much more personality than that in my meaning. Specialy when you hit the 500 buks and the Sea-Viper with also a Swiss mvt. I own no Orsa and just took it as an exemple because the Red-Sea case looked a bit to me, like the Monstrum and Sea-Angler without crown guards. I'm not christian either, so this watch will not take me to paradise  Last edited on Wed Feb 2nd, 2011 09:51 am by Hammerfjord |

they showed up Jun./10'....hit a few forums but I haven't heard much since...the watchs are due out Apr./11 but I have to agree with Will that even their pre-order pricing is a bit high for what is being offered amidst all the micro competition...btw LUM-TEC is a partner so you more than likely have a Asian case and components assembled by them here in Ohio. |

I like the look and vibe to the Six Pounder. I'm not concerned with mixed messages sent by the branding. Regardless, when I first noted these last Summer I was immediately put of by what I consider a premium price on an unknown brand using Chinese bits and a Miyota. I thought I was just being cheap... It's a kick ass watch at less than $500 imho, but that's not what's being offered. |
