It's a very good looking watch, congrats.
just a shame it will be less accurate than a £10 casio

You're no better than the complaints you made about him with posts like that.
Just don't take disagreements of opinion as insults, it's inevitable that people will disagree, just take it or leave it.
Please see his 'opinion' which of course it isnt,
he had a go at me, i took him up on it, he seemed to take that very much to heart and went on about it, im not sad to see him stop, or do you think his comment above ok?

quite probably, but a £10 casio is of no interest to me

why buy a watch then? why not some other jewellery?
Not quite my cup of tea, i prefer the da36. I appreciate the thread as i may be looking for a new watch and havn't heard of this maker before and in a few months may start looking around. Currently have a Speedy and understand why you prefer a quality mechanical time piece rather than a £20 watch from Argos, necklace, ring etc.
Here is my Speedy.

I think you will find it was bell ends and knob jockeys
hehe sorry i didnt mean that you labelled them trolls i meant that you labelled some of the trolls,
what you labelled was of course the items quoted
beautiful watch, my dad has one. JLC for me.
My point is that an high quality, precision made instrument should be capable of working reliably for more than 2 years, particularly if (a) I'm expected to pay almost £2k for it, and (b) the cost of any repairs will be equally prohibitive.
I'm sure it's a great watch (though I don't like the design) and the leather strap is a nice touch (though you will need to replace it after a few years) but I just can't see any justification for the expense.
I wear a stainless steel Seiko with a metal band. I bought it for £120 in 1999 and it's still going strong (except for the date function, which has finally died). I don't mind repairing it because it's a damn good watch and the timekeeping function has never let me down. I just can't comprehend the "designer label" mentality.
Actually, I did find it interesting. My father used to work at a manganese ferroalloy plant owned by BHP Billiton, so I am familiar with various aspects of metal processing and I appreciate the innovation that Damasko has brought to their work. I am particularly pleased by the fact that they use German steel, which is among the best in the world.
However, this only makes it harder to understand why their warranty only lasts for two years. After several paragraphs of guff and bluff about how amazing their watches are and how superb the quality is, they finally concede that they can only guarantee reliable function for 2 years.
Can you not see the irony here?

again i make the point that no watch maker that i know of offers greater than 2 years, not rolex, not omega etc etc. it is the industry norm so i can undestand why damasko do not offer longer. Also no matter what technologies are used on the bezel, case, crown etc, the weakest link will always remain the movement as with any automatic watch

nice but for that money id expect a better strap. looks wrong with that leather strap imo.
do you mean you would expect a bracelet or a different leather strap? i have changed the strap to a thicker hirsch myself damasko dont do a bracelet, one has been in development for ages but god knows when it will appear!
