Most likely Meatspin by another name, so I’m not clicking on it.

I changed it to the correct link. Looks like they might be back in the game though.

Rick hinted he’s taking on another brand after leaving Doxa....I wonder?...looks like his marketing and says Synchron Group which is what he was doing business as in the states.

Good call...

They need to continue proof reading. The thickness of the watches is listed differently in the spec’s and the description.

The site says that Rick revived the brand in 2011.

I think Bill had a stroke a while back and has been missing from local watch GTG’s.

From my earliest GTG’s Bill would bring a couple dozen cool dive watches. He’d mercilessly critique yours but you didn’t mind. He was generous with information and his presence is missed.
