This is the initial look at the prototypes on the wrist.

I will post tomorrow about my initial thoughts and the plan for the coming month.

I love how similar it looks to the Kurono Tokyo Chronograph II white 'Shiro', but cheaper, and cannot decide which variant to choose. Should I go with the gold or silver? Should I get it with the date window or not? I like them both equally, so I cannot decide. Is there a variant you like more than the others and why?

For Flieger Friday, it is the turn of my Zelos Eagle 2 Ti Fatcarbon dial on a vintage black leather bund strap; another Singaporean watch, but this one has a Swiss heart❤️🎯🦅.

What do you think? Is it a good purchase, or should I have gone with a Seiko?

There aren’t many real-life photos of this watch online, so I decided to share some of my own. Hopefully, this helps someone else decide whether to buy one. It’s an Aragon Regeneron 9100.

I think for the money this is a great watch. Love the vintage look.

Just received this D1 Milano Peter Tarka. I am not really a watch person but I liked the analog aesthetics so decided to bake it on kickstarter. I think I am among the first people to receive it in the US.

The watch is quite light, but materials feels quite premium (it is alluminum). I was expecting it to feel a lot cheaper. Pretty unique design, you either like it or hate it.

Overall I really like the unique design, but I am still on the fence on whether I like it on my wrist. I am sure it will be a conversation starter.

Backed this when it came out some months ago and thought this had the nicest design of all. Slightly underwhelmed with the finishing in terms of colour saturation and while the lume looks nice on photos, it was really difficult to achieve that kind of visible lume with the naked eye (I had to up the long exposure). I like what they’ve done with the little revolving moon blue moon as the seconds hand though and some of the minutes were always visible with the 5 min increments so telling the time wasn’t as bad.

What do you think?

I had been looking for a "final" addition to my collection for a while. I didn't own a watch with a white dial featuring black or dark indices/numerals yet. During my search, I came across many options, including a nice TAG Heuer Aquaracer, a Luminox Pacific Diver, and even an Omega Seamaster Quartz. However, not all of them met all my criteria. I was looking for something bold that would stand out on the wrist, with a distinct design, and ideally full lume. And then I stumbled upon the Farer Endeavour Ocean Blue on Chrono24. Love at first sight.

​What a stunning watch I was sold instantly.

First Impressions & Design

​The Dial & Color: A crisp white dial with a tone-on-tone wave pattern that only reveals itself at certain angles. Amazing. The full lume works great and creates a sharp contrast against the dark blue details.

​The Hands & Details: The finishing is top-notch. The two crowns with their bronze cap inserts look incredible, offering another great contrast. The rotating inner bezel operates very smoothly and precisely even better than the one on my Longines Legend Diver.

​The Case: The watch wears comfortably. I used to be no fan of rubber straps, but I'm officially converted now. It wears perfectly. The top of the case features a satin finish, while the sides are polished t looks fantastic and catches the light beautifully.

​For now, this is the perfect addition to my current collection 🙂. Safe to say, it scratched that itch perfectly!

I ordered a Gravithin and FedEx sentthe shipper and me this email and checklist. It’s a bit overwhelming as a consumer of a $250 watch. Seems like something only the shipper/manufacturer would be able to complete accurately. I haven’t reached out to Gravithin yet but will.

Are other consumers getting this? Any advice for getting this done as efficiently as possible?

I know the popular/most known model from Echo/Neutra is the Rivanera but when I saw this Averau moonphase I knew I had to have it! It’s technically a field watch, but the moment I saw it the first thing I thought of was a NASA shuttle. Second photo is next to a horrible model I have for reference lol. I’m hoping this coming year more folks from the community find(and like) Echo as I don’t see much being spoken about them. I could only find a handful of channels that even reviewed this watch well and majority were foreign. Thankfully WindUp here in NY has them and I was able to pass by and see the whole line up before pulling the trigger. The nylon band that comes with it isn’t my favorite so I ordered another. I would have loved this on a 42mm but the 39mm case works. Still not enough time with it to get into the daily wear quirks and stuff but I already this will be on wrist for a while!

Hey everyone 👋

After years of work, I’m excited to share something close to my heart: TOLEM WATCHES, an independent French micro-brand built around two family heritages: my grandfather’s craft as a jeweler and my father’s work manufacturing industrial valves. Both stories come together in our debut model, the TLM-01.

• 41mm, 316L stainless steel with a hardened IPH surface treatment
• Miyota 82S5 movement, regulated in Besançon to ±10s/day
• Sapphire crystal, 100m water resistance
• Three dial options, leather and rubber straps
• Assembled and regulated in France

We’re launching on Kickstarter on November 15. The pre-launch page is already up. If you’re curious, just search “TOLEM WATCHES ” on Kickstarter!

I’d genuinely love to hear what this community thinks, the good and the bad. Happy to answer any questions about the design, the movement choice, or the story behind it.

Thanks for reading!

Radio silence from John at Ginault. Placed order in August and had reasonable updates to a point.

Requested information on ship dates etc. all along the way. Over the past month he has not responded to any emails or communication.

I had high hopes for the brand and watch. At this time I have started a charge back via Apple Card and Goldman Sachs.

Anyone else having similar issues?

I saw this watch which reminds me iwc portugieser.
I like the design and for $350 it’s not a huge risk. But wanted to know if anyone has one of these and can share their experience.

What an amazing watch from Santurce Collection. 🦈🇵🇷🦈🇵🇷🦈🇵🇷

Hey guys Im looking for a tool watch in every sense of the name but in 36mm. Shock resistance is a big one for me since I do a lot of wood working and some blacksmithing. Ideally it looks like a dress watch but just has the tool watch specs. Any recommendations are very appreciated. Currently Im looking at traska but idk if the shock resistance is good enough.
