Those are some bold watches. I like the wild colors and chunky hands on the divers but that case just looks too big for the dial.

Perhaps they look better in person.

And this is the bit I find hard to write, the bezel action on the Samui is as good if not better than my SUB 1200T. It is tight, no slop, no lateral movement and rotates crisply. Doxa have had some complaints about the bezel movement on the new ICE era SUB 300T. No such complaints on this bezel.

The movement is a Seiko NH35A with 24 Jewels. This movement is a workhorse. It is not only a staple for Seiko but is used in many other manufacturer's watches. It is reliable, easy to service and as my father used to say about buying a Ford car: you can find bits for them over the nearest hedge. Heck, you can even buy a new one on eBay for less than 40 bucks. And that brings me to the most pleasant surprise about the Maranez Samui. In the 24 hours I have owned it, it has lost 2 seconds. Yep you read that right, 2 seconds. I'm gobsmacked. Its running better than any watch I own at the minute and that includes, Doxas, Rolex, Omega and Breitlings. Round of applause for the Maranez Samui, please.

The dials and the handsets on the new divers suck -- The Army is nicer lookin' but the chapter rings are too wide on all of the new ones, makes them look like a cheap take on a gradient dial. Looks like they've gone to all NH 35 movements, too bad.


FullSwing, Smart Asia Industrial Ltd. makes them as well as Helson, Armida, Benarus and probably some others the original poster at was did not find.
