Oh wow, this thing is beautiful! Man I'd love one of these but price aside I doubt I could carry it off being a skinny wrist bugger, maybe I'd better start going to the gym, haha.Originally Posted by swanbourne

What's the lug to lug please Eddie?
Looks amazing. Sadly, I'm also in the too-big-for-me camp.
In the first picture of all the movements in the tray, why does one of them have a red end and the rest yellow?
^^^^Thanks.
Great choice of strap as well, that looks like it will be a winner.

I always assumed it was Eddie's take on this...

Nice to see a boys version of the B-Uhr Type B coming together. I would love to see one of those movements in a proper sized case!
The watch looks great on that strap, I will be very tempted when they are released. Looking down the thread with only 50 movements, a very special limited edition.
Wow! This looks great. I hope they're available soon.
If the watch is to be supplied with a glass as well as a solid back then can you specify which one the watch supplied is fitted with? Will you get a tool to swap them yourself or is it a trip to the watchmaker.

The watch will be fitted with the display back...I don't seem to recall a free case opener supplied with the watch. So it will be a trip to the watchmaker or you'll just buy a good case opener which is also quite handy for all your other watches. I can also very much recommend the rubber ball type opener which ensures that you don't scratch the case...

Looks really sweet Eddie 👍🏻
Very nice .. When is it listed for pre -order ?

That's a proper good looking flieger if there ever was one, including the best movement you could wish for.
This could even make me forget my Wempe.................
Daddel.
Got a new watch, divers watch it is, had to drown the bastard to get it!
How do you order?

Not sure matey, either keep an eye on the website, or pm Eddie (the owner) on here under username "swanbourne".
its a bloody lovely looking watch!!
mike
When it's ready, it will go on sale on a first come, first served basis. AFAIK, Eddie has never done pre-ordering.

I'm imagining winding it with that onion crown, will be a great watch for sure.
Must admit the B-Uhr isn't my style but I do fancy buying the strap.
now that is nice, i'd consider risking the wrath of swmbo for that!
Took some more pictures today for the booklet.

Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".
A minor detail, but an absolutely vital one, is the arrangement and decoration of the hands.
I've loved, but had to let go, two Stowas because in use I could not differentiate between the hour and second hands. I then ordered, but pulled out of, a Stowa 6498 without a second hand because it was too much of a compromise. Having the white on the second hand roll on as the lume on the minute hand diminishes cracks that problem.
This has the potential to be absolutely definitive Eddie.
It is a lovely lovely thing :)
Is it my eyesight or is there an "I" missing off the back?!!

This better not delay this even more....
This might get interesting, the graphic I sent them spells it correctly and the proof they sent back spells it wrong.

It all depends on whether you had to sign off the proof!
Any update Eddie?
Time for a gratuitous re-posting of Eddies pics.Took some more pictures today for the booklet.
Eddie
Now that is a thing of beauty.
I had made myself a promise not to buy any watches this year, but I don't think I will be able to resist this one.
Does this mean they've produced all 50 of them with the spelling mistake?
If so, a considerable cost for either party to eat I'd have thought?
Ouch indeed.
Any update on these?
cheers,
Adam.
I didn't see any.

Knock £1 off the sale price for the missing i. Sorted.
I think I was reading somewhere that although they look nice they actually are there in order to trap dust particles that might find their way into the movement.
It was the Swiss response to some engravers' strike or something!
The article was quite interesting but I cannot for the life of me remember where I was reading it....

I read that they were originally done to disguise blemishes on the top plate.

That could very well be one more use.
I found the article;
It was hodinkee. I am not always a fun of what they are posting or promoting but I did find this one interesting;

Edit;
I also found this interesting article which mentions three reasons;
- To hide blemishes from the machining process
- To decorate
- and to capture dust particles
Interesting stuff indeed!

That looks awesome, especially that big ole honkin' crown and the wheels on the movement. I hope the lug to lug is in my range.
Dare we hope the strap will be available in 20mm and 22mm as well for our smaller and less deserving watches?
looks awesome but on the big side for me.
Have you hit your target, or have you another two hundred to go?
This is gorgeous. Likely going to be out of my price range at the moment, but an aspirational watch! Love the premium quality look of it and can't wait to see real world photos of it.
