Sadly, the reviews aren’t great: several people describe some good components put together poorly or with bad QA. WMT gets similar feedback at twice the price (and I’m not a fan of the vintage acrylic dome). There are some other no-brand Seiko mod watches in the same boat that are at least priced much less and some respectable brand’s versions that just miss the mark for me (like Steinhart). I’m starting to come around to the value in the Univex/ Transworld - if nothing else, it is assembled in the US by a former Rolex service manager and they seem to take a lot of pride in their product. Time to start saving my pennies ….
Was watching a recent Peter McKinnon (photographer) video while he was shooting Kiefer Sutherland and noticed a familiar lapel and high arm sleeve. Is this a confirmed Billy Reid Peacoat? The vid is a couple days old if you want to check out his channel
I don't think it is. I am watching mine right now and i see no breast pocket in the one i have. I also see the one you posted and there is no visible leather strip in the back of the colar

Here is another good option with a Miyota movement:

That looks really nice!
That Tiger brand seems cheap and suspect. I wouldn't waste my money on them.

I know the brand get slated but the Invicta 1953 is one of the closest Connery Rolex Homages IMHO.
