If it is a lot cheaper then a Rolex, it doesn't mean that the watch is crap. Didn't read anything horrible about this brand yet.

I had one, a total knockoff of the Raymond Weil Chronograph. Bracelet spring bar broke in one week of wearing it, and the watch fell off my wrist and was ruined.

They also feel cheap in some way. I would advise you to get a Tissot, or a Raymond Weil. Much better and similarly priced.

You hit the nail on the head with that one. Just buy a Seiko in that price-range.

I didn't say it was crap but frankly it likely is....
Buy a Seiko, Raymond Weil or something with a better movement and whose got a better service network in place.

No need to get all tense about it. You asked and I gave you my opinion.

Seems the majority has spoken here....

Guys definitely nailed it, relatively cheap (in terms of quality) fashion watches powered mostly with Miyota quartz movements.
BUT, there are few Jacques Lemans higher-end watches with Valjoux 7751 inside and much, much better built quality.
Now, if you like the brand, I think that`s the way to go!

Here`s the pic (borrowed from the web):

I dont see any tense in the reaction i gave. The fact is, even if it is a mass produced watch (which i doubt, because i dont see many wearing it) it doesn't has to be (automatically) a bad quality, just because of the price.
