Brew Metric Max Gold
- Thread starter Karbon74
- Start date
pros
-neo vintage look
-Fits super nice
-subdued brushed gold, just enough bling for the job
-nice shape. like an hybrid between a Nautilus and a vintage Daytona (if that makes sense
)
-dramatic taper of bracelet
-quasi integrated bracelet
-snappy pushers and crown
-low beat mecaquartz (can be a con for some but I chose it because of this)
-invisible logo
cons
-split pins for links adjustments
-marks where the clasp lock (can't see how to avoid that)
-bracelet links tolerances iffy
-i would have liked some text on the watch for balance
-side profile could have been more streamlined, with some mirror polish
Now, for the same price VAT included, I could have bought a VSF or Clean which would have had a higher build quality.
Conclusion, it's worth it if you buy in the US. With shipping, import duties and local FR VAT, it's less of a good price/value ratio. It was in contention with a gold Tissot PRX 35mm quartz.
All in all, I am quite happy with this. It is a perfect second watch when I don't want to wear a rep but I want some curiosity looks on my wrist

Beauty. kinda.
To me it's like panerai.
Certain angles make it look so nice, then you see the profile and it's like wtf why

agree
I compared it to a vintage gold Daytona 6241, it does give a bit of that...but the profiles of that Daytona is absolute perfection from any angle, so the Brew can't compete with such a classic.
It does have that steampunk look though that I like. It's the watch a modern Phileas Fogg would wear.
Nope, he'd wear a Patek Calatrava Pilot GMT.agree
