Post by: wslee on February 23, 2015, 10:32:54 PM
Anyone of you heard or own Dornblueth & Sohn  before?

Can share your experience?

Apparently the waiting list is about 12 months, is it worth the wait

Never owned one but did a lot of research a couple years back. Some of the finest modern movements. The ultimate WIS watch - you're paying for watch making skill and craftsmanship, not the label. The complete opposite of Rolex, then!

At one point I was crazy about navigators/observer watches and D&S does offer few of the best looking ones in the market. The modified movements are to die for!

What I like about it is the level of customization that one can request for. Definitely worth the wait!
