    Auricoste Spirotechnique...new model...anyone?

    I am really intrigued by this watch.

    I really love myself a nice jubilee bracelet.

    Thing is, there is no chance of me putting my hands on one before purchase. Any current/past owners here? How is the finish/quality and mainly how is the bracelet & clasp combo...is it flexible and pliable (a la Seiko SKX)?

    I'd like to hear some thoughts (good or bad) and certainly some photos....

    I see they've replicated the original dial by putting the date in the wrong place:

    Wonky dates kill watches for me. Saying that I had a TAG Heuer Spirotechnique and sold it because I found it a bit too dull.

    To me it looks as if the Tudor PO1 and a Seiko 007 have had a love child...
    I do quite like it though especially in DLC with numeral dial.
    I like the type 20 they are making as well.

    I like it - but at €1,750 to €1,950 and an ETA 2824 movement I personally feel the Yema Superman Heritage in Bronze - with their own in-house movement at €750 (including VAT) and just as much, if not more, history - is much better value

    Can't find the l2l measurements, but seeing the lugs it will have wrist presence..

    That’s quite ambitious. I would hesitate at half the price. It’s hard to see in the pictures on their website but it does not look like 1700€ worth of finishing.

    Does anyone have firsthand experiences?

    Exactly that. Would love to see some close up pics and some first hand experiences.

    Given the Auricoste Spiro was launched c7 years ago, it would need to have been the "original" Tudor Commando and a 007...

    Must admit the Yema is a very cool looking watch and the bracelet & curved crystal on the Superman seems really nice.

    Also, the Navygraf might be even more toolish!

    Never seen one in the flesh, any EU distributors of these watches?
