Shinola

Has anybody got an opinion on Shinola watchs? Made in Detroit. I've fallen for some of them but have no notion if they are good or not. Various online reviews say good but overpriced.

Yikes, they're a lot more expensive than I was expecting. Some look pretty nice, but I'd be very hard pushed to spend that kind of cash given what else is out there for less. Seems like there's a big premium just because they're made in Detroit, 'Murica.

I like the one with the green dial and the honey coloured strap but I have a list of watches as long as my arm that I'd prefer to spend $550 on. You might find it very hard to flip if you get sick of it later also. Hopefully you won't get stuck with customs fees.
