If it is a watch you'll wear for a couple months and get tired of get the asian.

If you always want the best rep, or plan to have it for a couple years get the swiss. Look around you may be able to find a dealer that has it lower (try epoch he just sold one).

I haven't heard any feedback on the Asian one. If it comes with AR coated sapphire (just movement difference). I would say go for Asian. However, it's advertised as having Mineral glass.... who knows?

how bad looking is the Mineral glass??

@gm: is not bad... just that is not as scratch resistance as sapphire crystal.

Mineral crystal also has a different hue to it, its more green and less pink. But the AR isn't THAT important because mineral reflects less than sapphire by virtue of what it is.

Personally, I'd go swiss. There's nothing like having a watch you like croak!

asian has no a/r.

Thanks supermanx... If that's the case, you may wish to consider Swiss version then. The sapphire is really thick and AR coated too (much better than the avenger seawolf).
