100% agreed. I received one to review on WYCA. Did the shoot. Found comparable issues with the watch. They got quite upset when I compared it to other watch brands, to the point where it simply wasn't worth the hassle to deal with it. I also decided that I had no interest in giving them any publicity and opted not to publish the review. Terrible business practices and dishonest marketing. Good video Ben, really enjoyed it.

Yeah, having no seconds hand would naturally eliminate the need to have second markers but this watch doesn't even have minute markers. Guess they had to compensate for the oversized lugs by saving material somewhere else.

Vindaloo Loretti. That is their newest model. Made in China - owned by Lithuania.

[@cdb5001]

Actually, vindaloo is closer (geographically) to Italian than you might think. Vindaloo is a permutation of the Portuguese "vinho de algo" or garlic and wine marinating process common to Portuguese cuisine. So Vindaloo Loretti may be considered a great Luso-Indian-Italian product!

[@Atombender]

Funny how you spelled it Loretti, because that's how an actual Italian name would be spelled. So they even got their fake Italian name wrong.

If you wear the watch with the Basilica di San Marco side showing, people might stop you in the street to ask about the watch.

In all fairness, this seems to be one of the better looking fashion watches out there. The fact that they cut off the second hand and the disc is still ticking in the middle is quite a thing though. Decisions were made!

I'd still say Nautica watches made by Timex are of higher quality, and design wise, Boss watches made by Movado might be nicer looking.

when you build your own watch piece by piece like johnny cash, but i think you'll have to get a job at a watch factory for access to free parts lol

"Fast Courier (Delivery Time 5 - 11 business days)" actually means... Once the package gets to your home town, your local post will get it to you within 5 to 11 business days. And yes, that means one to two (plus) weeks. As for how long from actually ordering until it gets to your home town, we won't say except it absolutely will be a period of time. And yes, that period includes an infinite amount of time. Yup, yup, yup... perhaps when hell freezes over.
