Amazing experience and even better watch!

I have almost too many positive things to say about my experience with Steven and with my new Mabry field watch! I've been looking for a unique, yet classic-looking field watch that I could dress up or dress down with a reliable automatic movement for quite some time. There are many options out there but this one caught my eye early on for several...Read More

reasons- including the brushed titanium case, textured dial that reminded me of the Patek field watch, raised lume injected molded indices, California style dial providing eye catching depth, and it did not disappoint! The 39mm is the perfect size for my 6. 5" wrist and has an almost identical profile as my Explorer I. This watch wears like a dream-- incredibly light, fantastic lume, really quite stunning face that takes on different views depending on the lighting with the textured face. The attention to detail on the watch is impeccable- even down the line on the minute hand being perfectly in line with the 24 hour inner circle and the delightful polished razor edge where the horizontal plane meets the vertical, giving another dimension to catch your eye. Of a significant surprise--I have purchased all bands, not only easy to put on & off with the quick release but also very high quality. The velcro is the dark-horse winner that I seem to wear with great frequency-incredible comfort even when typing at a desk for a long day, no strain on the wrist. The last compliment I'll provide is that the watch has been keeping accurate time equal to or better than the +2/-2 as promised. This is the best valued field watch on the market in my opinion, incredible value!

My only personal preference missing from it is lume at the tip of the second hand but I knew that was not part of the design when purchased. I should also note that I had a small concern with the watch initially and Steven was amazing with communication and immediate resolution. At the end of the day, wholly recommend purchasing a Dufrane, you won't regret it! Read Less

Incredible watch, incredible experience!

While the Dufrane site photograghy is excellent, it does not do the watches justice. I just purchased a Barton Springs III and could not be happier with it and my entire experience with Dufrane. I spent a couple months doing research and looked at and learned about well over a hundred watches. The Barton Springs Lagoon jumped out at me. Then I saw...Read More

the Wine Country and struggled with the choice.

I had a few questions and wanted a better look at both watches, so I contacted Steven, the owner. Steven sent me a meeting request and spent close to 40 minutes showing me the watches and answering my questions. Both BS IIIs are gorgeous but I went with Lagoon because it just looks fun. Wearing it is indeed a joy. The design details are extremely well thought out, the attention to detail is fantastic, and based on my research, the value can't be beat. The bracelet itself deserves its own rave review. And the colors throughout the collections are unique and fun.

As great as the watch is, Steven's customer care and interest in my experience is the best I've experienced. I called and emailed Steven multiple times, and even though I was at least bordering on being a PITA, he showed nothing but professionalism and a desire to ensure that I was happy with my purchase. I could see building a Dufrane collection.

No matter where you are on your watch journey, you owe it to yourself to take a close look at Dufrane. Read Less

Perfect Little Watch.

I have the Black Mabry. This is a FANTASTIC little lightweight watch. I might also get the green one when it's back in stock.

Awesome

I purchased the Bergstrom about 2 weeks ago and just love the watch. I also purchased one of their leather straps that's excellent. I have a huge watch collection, and this will get tons of wrist time. The finish, movement and overall, you can't beat the quality on this great watch. I'm a micro brand fan lately on my latest watch purchases and Duf...Read More

Thumbsup from wife means an exquisite timepiece

When I received my Waterloo with the hammered copper dial my wife summed it up with the following remark. " Don`t you ever get enough watches in your collection. . . . but ooooh that is a beautiful and different one. "
So for her to say that you have indeed created a masterpiece there Steven.
Thanks for the beautiful watch which has been w...Read More
