    **** Is pulsar a under appreciated brand ****



    well was sorting through my odds and sods boxes looking for a vostok bezel and well came across a case for a pulsar and it seem well made to me ( I had a risky punt on a none working one and well lets say the only thing worth keeping was the case the stem and crown) so I had a look at the bay to see if could find a working one with a badly beat up case ( for a swap out no luck yet ).. but anyway looking on the bay there are some great ones for not a lot of money but on looks they seem to equal citizen and / Seiko there main arrivals in quality and in looks but not commanding the same sort of price so whats your take on pulsar ..


    as always ismy

    well guess the answer is yes from the lack of response

    I don't know the answer, TBH. My perception is that it's more of a fashion brand and people looking at Pulsars don't necessarily know about the Seiko connection.
    Depending on what I'm looking for, I don't usually skip Pulsar (or Lorus, or J.Springs, or Alba -- or eg Q&Q on Citizen side etc), but I've never found anything there that would fit my bills or be appealing enough to buy it.

    some brands i would think fashion pulsar fall in and out of it mean the M.O.D used them to make their g10 for a while before they went back to cwc ..and some of their diver range is first rate ...

    but they did do some cheap and cheerful range / lorus quality / sekonda and the like look ..not sure that help them or hinder them .... but they did do so good quality diver look to some that ticked all the boxes
