Today we will show you the Phoibos Ocean Master 1000m diver. This Swiss quartz diver might be the best quartz diver we've seen under $200. Come and check it out!

Through the years on ShopNBC, Deep Blue had several variations of quartz watches on straps and bracelets that sure looked a lot like this one.:hmm:

I've posted it before and it's not just limited to Micro Brands, but many "SWISS" Made brands use the same factories. Below are just a few examples, but I could give you plenty more from Armida to Zixen and everything in between.

If some of the Micro Brands are paying $50.00 to $120.00 per watch, TV brands like Invicta and others are possibly paying $10.00 to $70.00 per watch from their manufactures. Of course there are many variables to change those numbers, depending on the choice of materials and movements, etc. that price would fluctuate.

The watch business is full of grey, maybe not nearly as much shadiness as say, governments and politicians. Still, if you peel away the layers, don't be shocked at what you find IMO.
 
​A sharp looking piece in some cool executions. Thanks Mike.
