Look OK.
Faintly underwhelming.
Sounds like a brand of inexpensive ready made trousers.

Well at two posts into page two of this thread it's not looking too good.... :thumbdown: :thumbdown: So Farer not so good you :thumbdown: might say? :oops: :oops:

Oh me? Well I quite like the look of the GMT dial, I think it's the use of colour (I can be a bit Early Learning Centre I've been told! :lol: :lol: ) but as I've always said I have no use for a GMT feature that'd be the end of that. What do I think about the prices for quartz watches? I'd better just grab my "owned-from-new-when-innocent-enough-to-pay-full-price" C7IRR COSC and C70 Vanwall COSC. Actually I have taken a firmish line ever since on quartz pieces.
C60 MKI, MKII, MKIII: "some",
C6 & C60 Kingfishers,
C600 Tritechs,
C63 "some",
C65 "some",
C4, C40, C8, C9, C3, C5, C20 & 23FLE
Some other brands

Weird, eh? I heard about a watch company once that did a mag with articles on Northern Soul and some bloke surfing off N. Ireland. Or did I dream that bit?
I dreamed that dream too...

Good point.
I like the CW magazine, but still wish there was more about watches than lifestyle nonsense.
The Omega magazine was even worse, it only had a few pages about watches. Absolute drivel.

It's a lot of money for a 'cheap' looking quartz watch, and for that reason, I'm out......

If I wanted to spend that much on a quartz I would look at CW or Elliot Brown.

Agree with the Elliot Brown suggestion, although they are perhaps a bit on the large size for some wearers.

I have no issue with mine

Guy, that Elliot Brown does look rather nice. I would go with that rather than any of the Farer watches. Nice one!

I'll wait until they offer an automatic to judge the brand.
