Seems like a slick deal based on the green Edox posted last time. Comes with two straps. Nice looking watch.

Costco members only though.

Dang. I thought I could retire from buying watches then I saw this deal.

I'm loving my current Rolex GMT Root beer homage because of its beautiful ceramic bezel and bronze dial. I paired it with a light brown leather band and it instantly became my favorite watch. I know there's a stigma with wearing a copy but it looks so good.

This Edox is very similar and doesn't have the "stigma" so I'm in for one 😁
Plus, I'm looking forward to quality lume and movement (Selita SW200) from a respected brand. I would love an open case back but this is a 300m diver so that can be excused. The closed case back is pretty nicely done though.

Btw, this is 1.5k Euros on German Amazon

I like the watch as well but the story behind it sounds a bit phony though. Maybe even pure BS. I do like the watch but the story makes me think twice.

A long-retired Edox watchmaker shed light on the story. The SkyDiver, he said, was rumoured to be a secret project for a mysterious, wealthy Swiss colonel. The anonymous colonel wanted an exclusive timepiece for elite mountain paratroopers under his command. The watch had to be dependable and rugged – just like his troops. He chose Edox because of the brand's exceptional water-resistant watches, able to handle any situation the paratroopers might face – on land, air or sea. The colonel insisted on total secrecy.

OP should probably list that it's 42mm.

It doesn't specify the color of the second band. Can we assume it's similar to the first but in black?

Nice. And the price is right but I wish it had some complications. Edox is not big on complications usually a day/date is all you get. Occasionally GMT and most of the Chronorally line has a chronograph. Pass on this one though.

Pass, not a Rolex or COSC certified movement
Rolex watches are good but they are more of a status symbol than they are a great watch for the most part. Most of them simply aren't worth what folks are charging for them. Rolex has done an awesome job in marketing. Of course there are some exceptions but I do not consider Rolex a benchmark in anyway. There are plenty of better watches out there.

As you stated this is no Rolex but for the price it's a darn good watch, except for the fairytale story behind.

COSC is another story.

*Sorry for the response if you were just trolling*

I agree that the story is a bit iffy, but I don't put much weight behind it. I usually don't buy watches for the story. It's a nice bonus, but optional.
Also, to be fair, this is a re-release of a 2019 release but with various improvements. I like the improvements so I bought it. Would not have bought the 2019 version.

I bought a COSC before, but the watch didn't do it for me so I returned it. I've been using automatic watches for a while and the improved accuracy isn't a big deal.

I love Rolex designs but I do think they're way overpriced, even at MSRP.

I can see spending up to $1k on a watch but that's when you get into uncomfortable territory where you don't want to wear the watch because you don't want it scratched.

I accidentally hit my beautiful root beer GMT against a wall the other day. Then remember it's a homage that costs $100. I'd have a heart attack if I paid market price for a real one.

You could buy 10 of these for the price of the cheapest Rolex… and that's only if you can find one for msrp.

This is a decent price for the watch. The only thing I was disappointed with was the buckle on the bands in black. On YouTube videos the buckle is bronze. Maybe I got a one off?

Can anyone who bought this confirm what color the buckle is on the two bands?

Watch is gorgeous and very accurate. Edox is a decent company. It's no Rolex but at least I won't have a heart attack if it gets damaged.

Mine arrived yesterday. The buckles on both match the watch case. Not black.

According to my timegrapher it's +7 spd face up. Not too shabby and much better than I expected.

It's a keeper.

I got mine today and the buckles on both bands are black. On the black band, it looks better. On the other, I would prefer a bronze. On both, I would prefer bronze to match watch case.

Where are you guys ordering from? Perhaps region has to do with buckle colors. Mine shipped to Socal.

The watch is nice but I think the bronze should be more warm. Mine is a bit more yellow than copper. Not sure if I'm going to keep mine. Mostly because it doesn't add as much uniqueness to my collection. Although it's quite a value for the price.

I am in nor cal. I bought a second one and hope it has the bronze buckle. Going to return the black buckle one.

What about numbers? Does your certificate have a number? What about the back of the watch? It should say a number out of 555. I would doubt Costco got more than 100 of these and would assume it would be numbered 400-555 since the watch has been around for years.

I just hope the second one has the right buckle. I guess we'll see. Either way I'm keeping it (at least one of the them Smilie it's too nice of a watch to return both.

I agree it looks more gold than bronze but that's even better.
