I have their Paul Newman Daytona and it's a very very nice little thing.

Here's with an orange perlon:

I painted the hands white as the original (also the arrow tip):

And here with the bracelet (nice endlinks fitting, Noob factory should learn from Alpha):

Own a Tisell Hulk Diver and would recommend it. Great value for money. Miyota 9015, ceramic bezel, sapphire crystal with AR coating.

I've never heard of Tisell. I'll have to check them out, too. Thanks. BTW, nice looking watch!

I ordered the DD tiger concept in rose gold last week and it's already here- that was fast!

Rose gold takes some getting used to, but the watch is doing fine so far.
I also bought a Parnis YM homage a year or so ago- also in Rose Gold- with the black dial and black bezel insert, it has the Miyota 8215 movement and it's doing fine- spent around $115- will have to snap a pic of it soon.

NICE Tiger Day-Date!

I bought the Tiger 1655 homage and received it in like 5 days - crazy fast shipping. Hinclimincli, thanks for the heads up and bringing Tiger watches back to mind. I'm lovin' mine!

Here's the Parnis RG YM

The 8215 has been doing fine and the IP rose gold is holding up very well. For $115 it's not a bad deal IMO, heck, I'd even go swimming with it if it didn't have the gold plating.

That's a good looking watch, too. I think I'm going to try a Parnis, just to get a real feel for the fit & finish, etc. Considering the "Batman" GMT as that's a watch I'm mildly interested in, but wouldn't want to spend much money on acquiring one.

THANKS for sharing!

Nice one! May I ask, how long did it take to ship to Norway? Did you order directly from Korea or from their EU website?

Thanks! It’s really a nice looking watch made very well. I ordered from their EU website and it only took 3 days with UPS.

Exactly. Here's my "Bond Tiger" side by side with my Ginaul (before I changed insert and seconds hand). It's a lovely watch!

This 6538 TC seems to be a solid alternative to Silix and also to highly expensive Vietnam's case, maybe TC case needs some adjustment such as the rehaut that seems too high even though bezel looks better than Silix.
