[QUOTE="Max Roscoe, post: 1428338, member: 17845"] Blundstones are indeed Australian and I LOVED my pair (bonus is they don't have laces but instead an elastic part in the back, so they are fast to slip on and off. They had a problem of the rubber soles crumbling that I'm sure you can find easily if you search. I believe they fixed that problem, but Blundstone has moved most of their manufacturing out of Australia, so I'm no longer interested in them. The Chinese may make a fine shoe, but if I'm going to buy a Chinese shoe, I'll just buy a Chinese brand directly. I'm not going to pay a premium to some Australian SJWs just for slapping their name on it. Theres an Aussie brand called Rossi that makes a Rossi Endura that is a competitor to Blundstone. I would check them out. There's nothing wrong with that Tag, as long as that's the style (dive watch) you are going for. There are plenty of great automatic watches starting around $300-500. I love Hamiltons. The advantage is you can own several different styles for the price of a more expensive brand, and if you no longer like the look of the watch, you are only out a few hundred and not $1,000+.
