I LOVE this
Pre orders on Thursday. At around £600 after tax it is a strong proposition

I think you are correct - looks like hard work.Originally Posted by seabiscuit

Interesting idea, that doesn’t quite work.

I think it would have been so much nicer with a simple cross-hairs dial.

It looks a very busy dial and it’s difficult to tell the hands from the lines.
Finish looks good but as said its as legible as a Daytona..
It’s a no from me.
It seems a bit pointless as a watch tbh
Pretty challenging to read, so no.
Ryan, didn’t your last Nivada have some significant timekeeping issues out of the box?

I like how they used the original case shape with the distinct lugs, but I'm not a fan of the dial. I'd definitely take my original over this one.
What time is it Mr.Wolf?
What a stupid watch.
That on the other hand looks very nice indeed.I like how they used the original case shape with the distinct lugs, but I'm not a fan of the dial. I'd definitely take my original over this one.
It was magnetised and was +1 minute a day. A tenner spent on a demagnetiser from Amazon and it went to +2 secs a day.
I like the overall look (being a sucker for this style of watches) but in terms of actually seeing what time it is, that would drive me mad.

Oh this is lovely
It really is lovely, and very evocative of a bygone time. But the dial could almost have been designed to obscure the time from the wearer.
Pretty as a fashion watch, but if it’s easier to tell the time with the lights off then it’s a no from me. Also, they were so concerned about legibility they put a cyclops over the date window, but then chose that dial.
Bit of a confused mess.
Does it have the penguin on the back?
I’m curious whether it would be more legible with a black dial, silver spiders legs and the same silver handset. Probably not now I think about it!

The spider dial is a legitimate idea for a re-issue but the most interesting thing with this one is the fact that they've corrected their mis-step on the first iteration with the re-introduction of classic chamfered lugs. Well when I say corrected it may be more accurate to say attempted to correct - all of the pictures on the website show the edges of the chamfer as very, very soft - almost as if they've been polished by a backstreet bodger. I've been following the originals on Ebay for almost a couple of years and they rarely look as soft as this - has anybody seen a real-life photo?
Here's a really good example of an original with crisp edges:

In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.
Hmmm do people still do this?
