What ever became of Oceanaut?

Post by Docrwm » Wed Sep 01, 2010 4:49 pm

They were the darlings of the Hollywood set about 2-3 years ago. The owner was on TV like every other day. Now, never hear of them at all. What ever became of the brand anyway?

. . . that's a good question Doc. :scratch:

I never saw the TV shows, but I own two Oceanauts. Actually I really like them, decent movements, great bracelets, sapphire . . . . all for not a lot of $$$$ . . . . I especially like the Acquamariner that Tazman gifted me.

No slam against the watches. Seriously. Just wondering how a company goes from incredibly high visibility like Oceanaut and its "worn by....." statements (I mean A list Hollywood folks here) to never being heard from at all in 2 years or so?? :shrug:

I think the WATCH COMMANDER must have had some mental breakdown from "coming in your living room" too much...

That isn't the company that he's a part owner of, is it?

:scratch: Huh, never seen that up here in Yankee-land...

I didn't realize someone actually referred to themselves as the "watch commander"...kind of screams "dorkdom"...

If I remember correctly some of the guys on 3L also peddle some of these watches. I always thought they were the same as Invicta and I wouldn't be suprised if they were made at the same factory. :cheers:

Is the brand name FALLING off the dial? Are the letters supposed to look like a kid applied them with glue and Popsicle sticks?
