In Response To: Re: Mido diver ()

: Have a look at the Candino Deep Reef, steel
: bracelet. It sells for about US$550 (The
: rubber band is approx. US$60 cheaper). It's
: really not bad, considering that it's water
: resistance is 300 meters, as opposed to 200
: meters for the Mido. It's stainless steel is
: 316L, and it also has Sapphire crystal. I
: believe the automatic movement is basic
: Swiss ETA, but you won't get anything better
: for this price, unless you are willing to
: buy a quartz movement. The Marcello C
: Nettuno 3, is also pretty good for its
: price. It's also Swiss made, and it sells
: for around US$450.
: There are some other brands, for example,
: Sandoz and Invicta that also use the basic
: automatic ETA 23824-2 ,movements, but none
: of these brands are Swiss made. Frankly, I
: think the overall quality Marcello C.
: watches are better therefore, it's
: worthwhile to spend the extra US$100 for the
: Marcello C's. The bottom line is that if you
: want an automatic Swiss made watch, you
: won't get a good one for less than US$450.
: Okay, I think I have run out of information
: for you. Good luck on your purchase, and do
: let me know what you have finally decided to
: purchase. Post a picture of it, if you can.

: Common man

Will sure do!!!
