"The driver chronograph MKII Blue Reverse Panda is incredible for its price point. The brushed steel case and the polished steel bezel match perfectly and look great. The blue dial and off-white sub-dials etc give it a truly vintage look that gets better every time I look at it. The \u2018M\u2019 on the dial is not subtle but it gives the watch a touch of class that is rare to see in some much more costly brands. \r\nOn the reverse of the case is a finely etched picture of a 70s\u2019 style racing helmet, another very nice touch and period correct, as it\u2019s almost identical to the helmet worn by James Hunt in the earlier part of his career. The strap is a fine match for the watch, is well made, and once again features a very well etched \u2018M\u2019 for Marchand.\r\nFunctionality is great, as is the time keeping which I have had no need to adjust \u2013 all in all this watch is more than I might have hoped for.\r\n"

"The strap was well packaged and is now installed on my Ciga Z series watch. It gives it a fantastic look. Far better than the leather strap received with the watch. It feels top quality. A little stiff at the moment but I am certain that will change after a few uses.\r\nGreat quality and excellent value!\r\nAny chance you will be doing one with red stitching?\r\nNigel Ashworth"

"Yes, I admit I'm a Marchand fan but with very good reason. Every transaction is smooth and efficient and conducted with a friendliness that leaves you feeling that you are a truly valued customer. The watches themselves are beautifully designed timepieces, well made and give a nod to the world of motorsport in a classy way that is not ostentatious. Typically around 40mm diameter, these are not overstated designs that shout \"look at me\" and yet on close inspection balance fine mechanical detailing with attractive finishes; much like that found on a race car. Very subtle. I will be back for more, I am very sure of that. "
