You mean the swiss military seawolf1 right? there pretty high on there web site but some looking around I'd think around 300 to 400.00 the seawolf 1 is a chronograph rated at 1000m and weighs a hefty 285 grams. |

Don't own one but have talked with them at various watch shows. Swiss Military watches have a 'Swiss Cross' on them, kinda looks like Victorinox, but isn't. Swiss Army would love to get rid of them. And I can't blame them. They try to play themselves off the Swiss Army brand. Anyway, I have played around with lots of their watches, and they were very nice. Good bang for the buck.

Yep your right on that oa. There seems to be some claiming to be swiss military. isn't Swiss army the only one authorized for the logo? |

Charmex and Swiss Military are linked. At all the watch shows, they 'share' a booth. |

Ken if you look closely and maybe you have but, doesnt the Sealander have some resemblence to the Zodiac Diver. Both are sporting the same claro movement. Thought I mention that.;) All of this is JMHO and I dont know why but that is what I thought when I first saw it (came to mind) Last edited on Mon Dec 18th, 2006 09:42 am by jakisbck |
