I will definitely buy one. By the way Mike France, the CEO, on one of the interviews, he said that the case is grade 5 titanium.

    I am surprised they didn't put any type of hard coatings on the titanium. Also some kind of second indicator would have been nice. Maybe a small skeletonized section to see the balance wheel might have worked too.

    Hi Chris, although the bracelet is made with grade 2 titanium, the watch case is made from grade 5 titanium.

    • @hotsauz
      @hotsauz Рік тому +1

      I thought the same. Since CW advertised it (the case) as grade 5, there was no reason they are not telling the truth. So the bracelet could be a grade 2 as opposed to a grade 5 on the watch case.

    WatchChris, Chris hi, wh does that red arrow look as if the tip is broken off (at 6:01)? I looked at some pic online and it seems that the tip should be pointy. However, in this video not only does it look like it is missing a tip, it actually looks like somebody took a saw to it and didnt round off the edges after the tip fell off.

Function over design for me is the priority.
