    Herc- any experiences?

    Just wondering if anybody had any experiences with this 'brand'. Obviously it seems to be chinese manufacturer doing various homages (interested in the Stowa/Nomos types) and going from ebay reviews etc. seems to at least look the part.

    Damn, that looks very nice. Not that I'm disappointed by my Stowa Antea, but I had not expected to find homages of the bauhaus style coming out of China.

    Thanks for that. I guess as long as it doesn't break down in a couple of years should be right.

    had a quick look @ the ebay store. some nice looking ones there i like the breitling montbrilliant homage. kinda similar to some of the russian pieces on the market but at a bargain price. russian's are starting to get very pricey..

    I'm not sure. It could possibly be a DG28/38 or NN28/38 which are both based on the Miyota 8200. Or it could be a new movement that we've been discussing over in the Chinese Mechanicals forum. Please post a good pic of the movement if you ever buy one.
