··Hears dead people, not watch rotors.There are some interesting watches on Kickstarter. I have a diver from Oceanica coming in the next week or so.
I may jump into this one too, but haven't decided yet. https://www.kickstarter.com/project...?ref=nav_search&result=project&term=blanchard

·How about Humism? I got one of their watches via Kickstarter. Basically instead of a second hand, they have a patterned disk that rotates and interferes with a pattern on the dial:

The Borel was the first vintage piece I got for my lady and she was mesmerized- and then hooked on mechanical watches- a great gateway drug.

··Color Commentator for the Hyperbole.My kid pulled the trigger on these without consulting his old man. Having now seen them in the metal, pretty solid value in a Bahaus watch. He balked at my suggestion of a Chronoscope and he likes but can’t afford Nomos yet. Now of course he’s in love with the Baltic GMT.

·Saw this brand pop up on my Facebook feed and I was immediately intrigued: Farer Watches
"British design with Swiss engineering"
I was looking for a mechanical watch with GMT function that is more affordable and more available than a Rolex GMT2. Their "Maze" has the same functionality and better water resistance, but at a fraction of the cost. Movement is Sellita SW330 based.

·Did you get the Farer? I’m also in the market for an “inexpensive” GMT for travel (once it resumes) and have been staring at this Farer for two months. Would live to hear the feedback if you got one.
No, I haven't got the Farer yet. I only just got my Speedy FOIS a year and a half ago and used up all my brownie points with the wife. Need to build up my reserves again 😁
From what I've read in reviews, they work OK but the quality of the finish is not as good as TAG, Omega etc.

·Anyone familiar with this brand. Interesting history with a link to Auschwitz. Could have the wrong camp lost the link but have the watch. Advertised as a USA made quartz movement. At the time the article was printed they were in the 299.99 price range. I’ll dig up the info but a pic will suffice for now

··Color Commentator for the Hyperbole.
Timex was challenged on why they went with Ronda in their American Documents line. Their comment was that Ameriquartz was unproven, or something to that effect. 5 year warranty I think addresses that issue.
