    I really like how the minute hand arrow matches up with the cardinal hour markers and how the second hand lollipop lines up with the other markers - really cool effect!

    Love that i see your reflection on the polished bracelet, looks like you move a lot... almost dancing, while you film this Pete!
    Cheers mate! Move it baby!!! 😉😄
    PS Cool watch, love the black dial/ blue bezel combo, but the guilted hands... don't know... Massive crown though, can't be missed!
    PS2 The logo could be of some soap brand of the early 00's. Not 2000, rather 1900 or even 1800!!! 😂😂😂

    This is an automatic buy for me. What a cool watch! It's like it was designed with my personal watch nerd aesthetic in mind. Faded out aluminum bezel?...check...gloss dial?...check...oversize crown?....check...box dome crystal?...check...gilt handset?....yup! Such a cool dial layout, with those hands and markers. The crown logo reminds me of a 1950's Kay archtop guitar...definitely has a strong 50s vibe going on. I'm usually not down with bracelet polish either, but I think what makes the outer polished link design on the bracelet work well is that they continue right on thru to the bezel, as opposed to stopping at the case, giving it some unique flair. Thanks for the heads up on this one, I will definitely be buying one.

    The video review really got my attention to the watch! In the video, it looks like the bezel had some backplay - is that true, or is the bezel action solid?

    Saw pictures of this watch a couple months ago and have been twitterpated ever since. Long list of things to like.
    However, after your review, I am on the fence about buying. I wish there was a bit of contrast around the outside
    of the hands so it was easier to do that "in a glance" time check. The vintage look to the markers is a bit more
    yellow than I was expecting. Still digging the watch, just maybe not as deep. Thanks for the review.

    Hey, Pete. I hope you’re doing well. Asking for advice. I’m looking to buy a couple of unique/cool dials for builds (standard 28.5mm NH35 dials with 3 o’clock dial feet) and wondered if you could point me to some vendors other than the big guys (Namoki, DLW, Lucius Atelier, etc). I remember you mentioned some guys named 5 brothers or something (went through your vids but couldn’t find them) who made a couple of cool dials for sale. Guys like that. I’m open to any design as long as the quality is good. Thanks in advance for any help. Happy Thanksgiving!

Quality stuff. But Cinco Mentes! That’s the kind I’m looking for! Going to have to use my wife’s Insta since I’m a social media hermit and don’t have an account 😁. Have a great Thanksgiving, Pete!

      Being the same size is so crucial tho, else it wouldn't eclipse the markers. Perhaps segmenting the lume in the hour hand would make easier to differentiate from the minute...
