yea, i really like the caseback idea, recessed caseback crystal, nice touch! its no secret crepas makes their watches in china probably with fullswing, same like benarus n helson but it is amazing how much watch u can get these days. For 1k you a top grade movement , all of the 3000m, bracelets etc2, its a good deal. They still be making quite a bit of margin but still, they could have sold it for much more. Kudos to them. Thumbs up! :c:c

I was trying to use sarcasm to highlight the fact that alot of these boutique watches all look the same - generic and pedestrian.  I hadn't seen the pics of the O&W before, thanks for posting.  I knew the Crepas was generic looking and now I can see that it is pretty much a copy as well.

Good case size, but the bracelet connection to the case watch is a bit "stiff" looking.  Good luck to Crepas.  I will be waiting for their next offering.  I love their El Buzo and wish they make something along the line.

That one looks superb...and with its nice size, I bet it's a lot more wrist-friendly than most heavyweight 3Ks.

I love the look but one strange thing to me is no crown guards. 3K meters deserves some crown protection, no?

I would agree with you, and say your probably right, but it is the design of the watch.

Honestly , how many are going to buy it for diving though.
This water resistant battle among all the micros is nothing more than marketing in my opinion.
Most my watches will ever see is a shower or swimming pool.

It does have the similar look, yet.... I like it

Anyone know where it is actually made. Change the dial clone... Doubt it

Like it a lot so far
