    Dear ΩF

    Up for grabs my Freese101. The spring-sale continues. As much as I love this watch, it just doesn't get worn...it thus free's up some space.

    I am certain a lot of you know the story behind this brand. These are watches hand-crafted by Simon Freese in the UK, with his meticulous attention to detail, and much love.

    No two watches are identical, and this is one of the first batch.

    It has a killer purple bezel, stunning hand-applied lume, and the dial is fabulous. Apart from that what makes this one different to the rest is the color of the circled-F at 6 ... its lighter.

    It is powered by the ETA 2824 with date complication removed.

    To me the stand-out for these watches is the dial...a gilt-glossy deep black that is a treat in all light conditions.

    (looks great on a modern Forstnerbands, I also believe an Oyster bracelet for this watch can be bought directly from Simon).

    Watch will come with the leather band in the first set of pictures.

    A note on the lume : Simon is great with lume application. On this particular watch the texture, application and glow is reminiscent of vintage tritium...

    Here is a sequence of shots up to about 45s after turning off the blue light...

    Really great work.

    I am a private collector and not a dealer. This watch comes from my collection, which like most of you, is a result of a hobby that takes up far more time (and hard earned money!) than I would like to admit.

    Sale terms and conditions. For an international sale : 800 CHF (USD / EURO / GBP equivalent) wired directly to my bank (Transferwise) account, or the equivalent in ADA/DOGE/BTC/LTC/ETH sent to my wallet. More currencies are available upon request.

    The watch and I are in Switzerland, and so F2F could happen here. Returns are accepted only if grossly misrepresented. You will get what you see in these pictures which are of a decent quality and high resolution, so I don't believe there is any chance of misrepresentation. Feel free to request any further angles etc.

    My price includes shipping and insurance to wherever you are in the world.

    I have 100% positive reviews (upon request) on other platforms too.

    All criticisms of the watch are welcome.

    Thanks ΩF for this space upload_2021-3-31_13-3-3.png

    Lovely aubergine bezel! Mine has a similar colour and it works so well. GLWS!

    And the interest is strong (if the buyer backs out, there is a queue)! If anything, this is a good omen for Mr Freese and his watches...
