    Great looking watch, love it :encouragement:

    Often fancied a Ventura, tho' what I'd actually wear is more at the (fat) Elvis end of the spectrum!

    WTF is that about?! Hopefully whover drew the renders just forgot to merge a layer in the right order or summat - otherwise, as you say epic fail.

    Lovely. That looks unworn.

    I love it when the Japanese go full 'mad-bastard-mode' with watch design, and in its day this was one such - it could only be Japanese. My black-dialled example...

    They've got so much right with this - I love the colour scheme, and at just under £4K even the price, for 2024, is sane - but a 2 year battery life!? And a 13mm thick quartz watch!? This is a...

    Love the look of the watch, but puzzled why the seconds-hand deletion?

    Another question if I may: does the Forstner mesh have any 'stretch' to it? I've never handled one.
