    I do like the look of these watches. I think IWC had an internal rotating bezel on the Aquatimer a few years ago.

    Feels like every micro-brand under the sun is on the Super Compressor bandwagon lately, and with that I've also noticed the price/demand for genuine vintage SC's has dropped, funny how these things go isn't it? I guess they've lost their uniqueness.

    These are rather nice though, I admire Farer and their use of colour and design quirks, design has stagnated a bit of late in general and this is a company that seems to be trying to carve their way. I like them.
