Still never bought a Farer but getting some terrors over the Erebus (see what I did there? No? Ok.)

Caught my eye a few days ago when it popped up on my IG feed with the orange rubber strap. I was initially in the market for an Anordain but current wait time is estimated at 2 years and thought this was a viable alternative. No experience with Farer, but the price doesn’t seem too bad?
No Terror :eek-new: with Farer from my experience of owning one of their Lomond field watches, appears well made/finished and with a good accuracy too.
This new release also caught my eye, though sadly I'm trying to abstain from further collecting, except for a very occasional military issued.
I’ve had a good look at their other offerings and there is always something not quite right to my eye (in the design)… but this simple 3 hander looks good.
We need to coordinate our efforts mate, I think our saved searches have much overlap! We will end up bidding against each other sooner or later lol.Quote:

We probably already have, Rob :excitement:.Quote:

Very good.

I like it a lot, but I would be gutted if I got the one that they used for advertising - the finish on the seconds hand is truly horrible, with lumpy paint part-way up.
2 years, are they having a giraffe.Quote:

I think the image is distorted somehow, look at the 6, some of the batons and few parts of the case.Quote:

They were a 10wk wait a year ago, demand has increased significantly whilst they tried batch production, and they are reserving some time for product development. Not hard to imagine it reaching 2yrs with that and the fact any new staff training takes more time away from customer fulfilment.Quote:

I've not come across Farer before - there are so many brands out there, it's impossible to keep track - but the black dial and subtle design of the Erebus is quite lovely.
If it had 100 m WR it'd be a contender for sure.
