Bagley Watches

Anyone have experience with them? Pretty cool idea with the wood dial and all. Thoughts?

I don't think that there's any way anyone could possibly justify those prices for what they're selling.

I haven't actually seen one, but their website is filled with purple prose and watches that look to be in the same league as one of the better Invicta watches, replete with a useless cyclops and a $50 Miyota 8215 movement.

The watches are said to be handmade in Maine, when in actuality they are at best hand assembled in Maine.
Exist with piece of mind that what is on your wrist is supporting your local artisan and watchmaker. Exist knowing one person made your watch from my bench, to your wrist.

Honestly looks like they might have some patent infringements on Rolex designs. They might be more concerned with a lawsuit than daily sales here in the near future!

I'm out!

Dial looks kinda cool, and I'm sure for the average guy, probably a lot of work went into that.

Besides that, it looks like the typical Sub homage/fake, which is kinda a shame. I guess it's a great selling design, but feels like they want to be unique while trying to capitalize on the popularity of Rolex.
