Golana Gone?
So I'm rummaging around both my usual stuff and the stuff my brother bestowed upon me when I find this one:
"Golana Swiss" was a brand that was big at Amazon and other areas like it for a while; this is actually the only one I've ever seen out in the wild. I guess it really as a Swiss company for a long spell, but the last I had seen of them, they had taken the word "Swiss" off their newer pieces on their website. Now, the website itself is long gone. I question whether this watch is actually Swiss; even though it says so, there's nothing particularly special about it; it's a quartz diver with a screw-down crown and after changing the battery, I can tell you there's nothing great about the movement, either.
I don't believe this is Swiss; I'm just guessing, but I think Golana did the same Swiss tango that Invicta used to, playing duck and drakes with the old 50 percent thing and slapping these things together, well, wherever. I could be wrong. One clue for me - their website had virtually no information even when it was running, and now even the website appears to be gone.
