• North Eagles Military Watches of Italy makes Italian armed forces themed "unit pride"watches, sold in military PX stores, operating on the same business model as DPW's, [Diver Professional Watches] who bought parts inventory from other big name watch brands such as Breitling, Squale, etc. etc. ... and assembled them as their own.

 

What is your question, or discussion point?

 

read opening line above

 

I believe they took existing watches/cases and offered through the Italian PXs. For example, I have a vintage Squale that was most likely offered through the PX. North Eagles later offered the exact same watch.

 

Most of the small watch brands creating watches from the Lemania 5100 and shelf parts I find to be ugly, often Italian and using gold tone parts. But this one's quite nice.
