Filson Dutch Harbour. Made by Shinola. I don't know why Shinola get such stick on the watch forums, yes it's quartz and a bit pricey considering that fact, but it's beautifully matchined and finished!

There are some definite advantages to quartz.

The Americans have an expression, â€˜You don't know sh*t from Shinola.'

Lots of nice little touches, this is the case back. There is a metal card inside the box that has the name of the person that made/built your watch too

I can't get past the name, Shinola, it's like branding a watch Kiwi Parade Gloss.

I can see why some might have a problem with the name. It doesn't bother me much and this one is branded Filson anyways

Just bought this, needed a watch that didn't have a dark face and wasn't a diver. And I do like Oris watches.

That's a superb looking watch

Being on time is first on that list.

I have no issues with automatic watch owners accepting the fact that their watches are less accurate than a $5 corner store quartz digital. After all, I understand their love of craftsmanship and Inspector Gadget fetish for doohickies. As for me, I like accuracy and if I had the money I would buy a Longines Conquest V.H.P. that has taken quartz accuracy to FIVE SECONDS PER YEAR!!
