That’s a lovely watch. Any reason why you wouldn’t post a review of it on here? I would love to read it.
Thanks sir but i'm unless at written reviews I did do one years back for my Sinn EZM13 when they first came out as a was lucky enough to own one and it took foreverQuote:

With pictures of the movement. (The last time I saw 'that' was in a WWII German military watch.)

I’m very indifferent about this watch, initially i thought it was daft to have the hour counter at the top as the hand covers it when the hour changes, i would like to see it jump when it changes, on the other hand it works very well, as the hour hand passes the hour disc it hides the aperture so one minute its a 2 and the other it miraculously changes to a 3.
The only downside is if you glance at your watch on the hour and you are a little worse for wear (too much time on the sauce) you have no idea what the time is.
All that said i do like the watch, years ago i had a Epos jump hour doctor watch which i enjoyed very much. No where near as classy as this one though.
I like that, proper break from the norm
I love.jumping hours and the hour at the top is nice because you read it first, however they should have put an aperture in the minute hand like Omega did with their solo effort.
Even better are the Genta retro's with jumping hour & retrograde minutes!
A friend bought one on Fleabay but sold it, because the date stopped at 12 and one of the hands was missing.
Here's a video of what seems to be bazza's actual watch ...

Does yours have rotating/sliding lugs at 12 0 clock Bazza?

Corum: no other manufacturer produces model that instill such a wide range of emotions in me!

Does only the top lug rotate? Must put bit of strain on the strap if so.
Excellent choice that - nice to see something not ubiquitous.
Yeah its only the top lug which can move and I have no idea why this is as its something which I never usedQuote:

Love it! Just quirky enough with being too daft and very well executed

Quirky is always nice to see and Corum always do some nice quirks!
