Looks too much like my Majetek, and the funky "Califoriental" dial speaks to me.

I don’t blame you. I like weird quirky looking things up to a point. Some go a little to far but this remains within reason is I can appreciate it. I’m also seeing quite a few of them on Reddit, I think they are onto something good on you.

Is it pronounced un-dun or oon-dough-nay?

"Califoriental"

I almost missed this part of your post and was going to ask what the heck we're supposed to call it!

They call it a Kyoto dial, there is a restaurant near me that calls itself Califoriental style cooking. It seemed to fit well to me http://www.hosumbistro.com/

Fun watch, I just wish it was an actual Urushi lacquer dial, but for under $500 USD, that's asking too much...

Congrats on the pickup! I am eager to see it on the wrist 👍

Ditto I admit they are cheating a bit. I’ll definitely post it once I get it in this thread.

I don’t know that much about those. What confuses me about them is that they are much larger then the vintage Rolex they are a tribute too.

Undone takes a lot of inspiration but doesn’t copy...

I like some of the Undone lineup. I fell for their customizer, was able to choose handset, bezel insert (sterile vs graduated), case finish etc. Put together a mil inspired look that I wear more often than I thought I would.

Looks like you fell for the pass through leather strap as well.
I love that type of strap.

Very cool! I really like what Michael Young is doing with Undone - I need to get on with supporting them by buying a watch. Thanks for the reminder.

UNDONE has a nice selection of straps to choose from; ended up choosing a 2 pc that was fine for a while. But agreed, nothing like a good quality single pass through strap like this one in shell cordovan that I have on it now.
