    Question Edox Grand Ocean Chronometer....from contemplation to unboxing

    Hello everyone

    I am seriously considering this - at $800-900 USD
    (brand new) is it considered a good buy???
    Don't see a lot about them

    Interested in the considered opinion of the IWL
    Would they sit alongside Alpina, Mido,
    Hamilton in terms of quality?    		 Name: edox-grand-ocean-black-dial-black-rubber-mens-watch-80077-3-nbn-23.jpg Views: 259 Size: 197.7 KB

    Edox makes great watches for their that are overlooked here in the US.

    Great fit and finish, good build quality, and excellent lume.

    I had that model before and really liked it, but it does wear big, as an FYI.

    What's the official chronometer certification alone worth?

    I have no idea - Tissot does a LeLocle COSC for a couple hundred more- I like the understated and simple face... no lume at all...., but concerned it will look like a frisbee LOL .....I like the White version too...

    I like the black one a lot , might be a different thing on the wrist @ 45mm though , could be a good thing though.

    The back is nice and unusual

    I think i's a little spy hole/ porthole. It shows the balance wheel and seems to be the same shape as the logo on the clasp.
