They have really nice things with an outstanding finishing level. I own this one, "borrowed" from Patek. So don't blame the Chinese anymore, please 
Still, it's a Swiss brand, which is not (always) Swiss made, which may question their price level.

Build quality is so good on these two microbrands, it's hard for me to go back to reps.

NEREIDE AUREO - 4521590S
Our dive watch, which is water-resistant to a depth of 200 meters, takes its name from one of the last marvels of Venetian naval technology, the Nereide submarine. This timepiece is in fact designed to withstand strong stresses, making it particularly suitable for those who practice water sports.

I like the case shape of that Redentore a lot.
My only grudge is with the brand's name, a distorted, inexistent and grammatically incorrect italian word.... it smells of dropship brand. Which is a pity, since the logo works and the quality seems to be ok. The name though is to me a misstep as CW's logo was

Strange, all the more as the company is really italian.
They switched their name from Meccaniche Veneziane to Venezianico.
Probably to make it easier to pronounce.
Maybe Jaeger Lecoultre should take example...
From my French point of view, I'm not disturbed neither by the meaning nor the pronounciation.
But I understand your point of view : how many brands (especially chinese) have odd names...

I know everyone like smaller watches, but I'm a bigger guy, so I really wish that salmon dial baltic was a tad bigger...anyone know of any other alternatives? I looked around for a bit but didn't find anything to my liking.

pretty much; I'm not even that picky with the size (39mm+ ok) but I don't like most of the dials/designs I've seen

MIL 810H standard
Seiko VH31 Sweep Seconds
Seems like a killer and beautiful watch for $450
Seems like they're trying to position this between Bertucci and Marathon at that price point.

I just noticed there isn't any tritium on it. Thought there was at first glance. Even still, likely fighting for dollars from the same wrists.

No tritium, but still an intriguing package. I ordered the UT-1, but the GMT looks interesting as well.
