Hi,

Can I ask a favour ?

Can you share all the links to the main project threads ? Especially those with photos of the drawings, prototype :)

I just got mine and have to say, a nicely designed piece. However it is severely disappointing that such a simple product can be so poorly executed to reach the consumer. These opinions are after having taken part in a number of forum projects which do not come anything close to what I have seen with this.

1) Extremely CRAP(well virtually non existent) communication from the watchmaker which makes it hard for the co-ordinator of the project.
2) Extremely poor timeline in sending out the pieces,150 pieces over the course of 2 months is Ridiculous.
3) Can't get the basics right on order completion.
4) Crown pull/push is weak. Does not instill any confidence and need several tries before clicking back( this with using a NH35-seiko's 4R hand winding and hackable movement)
5) Pre dated warranty. (most micros or direct sales don't usually do that, instead they end up giving more warranty which is nothing to them)

Pros

1) Reliable movement which is easy to source should the product fail to perform as expected.
2) Good presentation & design.


And hence my overall disappointment with this brand. Personally, they have some nice designs but with this sort of CS from what has been experienced, I have to say one need not bother as I would not. However, I suppose one can always find supporters regardless, just not me.
Enjoying Japanese, Swiss, Germans & Micros quartz or mechanical, solar/Eco or kinetic, electronic

All grievances are gone after I received the piece tonight. Thanks to bro Ivan for helping me order and deliver. Worth the one year wait. Last but not least, thanks to Dague for sharing information on this project.

This means you can collect at the end of the month. Btw the workmanship of the watch is good. It is accurate too.

Looks good, but would have preferred a manual hand wind movement since the crown is huge...

Not sure whether I can implant a manual hand wind movement from a donor watch into this watch. Hmmmm....

Screwed down crown thou.. Not suitable for manual. Didn't expect a 200M resistance for this.
