what do you think of this watch pls?

Looks like a plain stainless steel quartz movement watch made to look fancy. never heard of Chase-durer.... but I'm willing to bet you can get equivalent looks and quality for about $100. The extra $400 is for name....

IMHO=NOT WORTH IT!

I don't want to be a snob, but, well - you asked!

Chase-Durers are made fun of by real watch enthusiasts. Anyone who knows watches would take a Seiko chronograph, for a tenth of the price, over a C-D. This watch takes a $10 quartz movement, puts it in a very ordinary case with mineral crystal (unforgivable at this price point), and sells it for at least 5 times what it's worth.

You can actually get a Hamilton chronograph with a Swiss Valjoux automatic movement, on a nice heavy bracelet, with sapphire crystal, for considerably less than this with a little shopping around. That is a watch that will retain most of its value and be an object of pride, rather than mockery.

thanks, and I did ask. I would not pay $400 for that watch BTW, and I will pass on it at $170 too.
