Norqain: The Tudor Alternative? - Norqain Adventure Sport Review - Beans & Bezels

Norqain is a relatively new Swiss watch brand, and a micro-brand by most definitions. I learned about their watches about a year and a half ago, and I wasn't too keen on them initially. But I happened to visit one of their ADs earlier this year, and I tried on most of their collection. I was blown away by their quality and finishing, and their prices felt reasonable to me, based on what is being delivered. Unfortunately, for someone with a small collection like mine, I avoid owning multiple watches of a similar, and I found the Adventure Sport to be very similar to my Tudor Black Bay (ETA) that I've had for six years now. So when Paul offered to send me his brand new Norqain Adventure Sport to review, I could not refuse. This watch has a retail price of $2050 on the metal bracelet, but if you time your purchases right, you can get up-to 20-25% discounts on these watches. That puts them in the $1500-$2000 price range, which is a competitive market for luxury watches, but as you'll see, this watch definitely delivers. Disclaimer: I borrowed this watch from a friend, who recently purchased it brand new. Thanks Paul! I was not externally incentivized in any way to make this review.
