I was trolling around the other day and came across this brand...Defakto...a German micro that had some nice looking pieces. Minimalist and modern, but nice none the less.
After some reasearch I found that they have good reviews, watches made in house in Germany with ETA 2824's inside...so I looked around...there were two places I found to get one...their website in Germany and one in the US...Watchmann.com.
The auto models were going for around $750 which is more than I wanted to spend...so I started digging for one elsewhere...there were a couple on the Bay, but still more than I wanted to spend. Then I stumbled on this buying/selling app and there was one for $91...
I was a bit skeptical, but after some back and forth with the seller I took the plunge...what I got was a pristine Defakto Akkord...needless to say I'm happy...let me know what you guys think...I know the minimalist style is not for everybody and I usually don't feel attracted to it, but this was a deal I could not pass up.
Here you go...
BTW...thinking about switching the strap...any suggestions? Need to keep it simple.
Lume's not bad either...in the light...
