only a day left

$315 for two watches and $340 for one with a swiss sellita elabore movement

https://beaufort-watches.com/

seems like quite a bit of watch for that money. quite a few interesting dial colors.

obv in order to drum up biness they feel the need to sell it so inexpensively.

all dials have reviews on youtube by a 3rd party

blue gilt review

Hopefully they actually deliver - I’m a fan of affordable watches that offer a lot of value.

Yep, pretty good price when it’s less than the pre-order deposit for this one that I have coming soon.

I’d be tempted to buy the Beaufort my my daughter’s boyfriend, for his first mechanical watch, but I think a Hamilton might be more fitting since I’ve given him a citizen ECO-drive dress watch and diver over the past couple of years. I bought a Scurfa Diver One here to raise money for watchdaddy’s medical recovery that I was going to give him, but decided to give him the solar powered diver for better accuracy and save for a Swiss watch.

the aquadive looks like a mean, well made watch. i've only had their vintage versions and not their new ones.

they incorporate many great characteristics into their 1 design pleasing many tastes on their new watches. i just wish they were a lil smaller..this offering seems like a great deal for 14..i'm considering it, how do they wear,..size wise?

Well, my DOXA Poseidon wears like a semi-big watch should on my wide wrist, so I’m hoping this one is also the sweet spot for me (43mm) while adding the GMT function.

The Beaufort with large white dial might wear bigger than it really is (40mm), So I could get one with the idea that if it’s too small that I’d give it away as a gift to a family member. When I bought the Nomos Timeless Limited edition (39mm) with big blue dial, I felt that it was too small/thin after it arrived, but I was going to give it to my son until it was stolen by a FedEx worker on its way for warranty regulation.

Nice looking watch. However, I'm not crazy about half Roman numerals and half regular

I really like the Swatch Bold line... its all I can do to stop myself from buying one.

Maybe I will buy one for someone else and that will cure me.

Ditto.

The half Roman numerals and half Arabic numerals drives me bonkers...not quite sure what to make of it...other than “bonkers”.

Seems like a no brainer to me $299.
I was about to suggest this one as well... quite amazing for $300.

I owned this watch in the blue dial, orange bezel colorway, and it was quite loved by others and myself except that it wore a little big for me and I sold it about 4 years ago...

... the new owner absolutely LOVES it and continues sending me wrist shots (to my entertainment 😁😁) to this day, LOL!

those glycine watches are much bigger than the aerotimer.

i won't argue glycine is a solid buy because it is, but invicta cheapened the brand by lowering the prices and pumping them out. they really made them not as special as they once were, because of it.

Can you say ‘thread drift’? 😁

Thanks for bringing this one back, because the Aerotimer does deserve the attention you’ve brought to it here for a true apparent BFB...

But I still believe the Combat Sub to be a solid value and a fine watch no matter who is now ‘pumping them’...
