Is your order placed Will?

What an amazing piece of kit, the only thing that would make it better in my eyes would be to have it in a plain case. :-)

Sorry, but that is really ugly watch!... :thumbsd:

[WillFly]

Clever. Beautiful movement. Ugly package.

[ash145]

Absolutely Will.......the case could have been alot simpler...look at RW Smith watches...simple yet classic.

Roger Smith's watches are absolutely beautiful - as were George Daniels' - all out of my price range unless I sell my house!

[Lawson]

Wowers!!

 

That thing is a pocket watch for your wrist!

I admire the micro-engineering and the amazing finish of the piece, but it's not my cup of tea.

For the same money I'd by a Daniel's watch instead, that to me is watchmaking in it's purest and most elegant.

 

PS. From what I've read it's a 7-10yrs wait on new RW Smith.

That will give you time to save up for one! :-)

Notice there is no footage or shots of it on anyones wrist. Would look ridiculous.

Will,  If you're having one then I'm having one.

I just ordered 2 but had to cancel...they were not expensive enough and the built in toilet didn't work well! I figure I'd look at the Daniels better! :)

 

Lawson, we can order a Daniels between the both of us and take turns wearing it! How about that!!! :)

 

 

On a more serious note, I believe they are trying to find a design that is trendy and at the same time successful...something like the Oyster from Rolex that has such a large acceptance and other manufacturers tend to "homage"....

Now that would be something to watch. I wonder if they would lend Mark one for assessment!

We need tear down photos ;). Away from any source of water since it's not even water resistance.

 

Summer wear only?
