I had not heard of that company. I took a look, and they look legit. They use decent Japanese movements in their kits, and on the whole they look fairly stylish. If you plan on buying one of their kits to save money, you should be aware that you can buy watches with those same - or comparable - movements for considerably less than what some of the kits cost, especially if you buy from a discounter like Jomashop. They have Seiko automatics for as low as $90. But if you like the styles of the DIY watch kits their prices still are pretty reasonable, you're just paying a bit of a premium for the fun of putting it together

Here's my little collection: Two Connies and a couple Seikos. The Seiko on the left is an Automatic... oooooooo automatic....
