Also posted on tz-uk, but for anyone who isn't a member there. This arrived on Friday. Really loving this watch. I'm a sucker for pvd and rose gold combined, and it works really well here. Also love the 'swiss made' etched into the bottom left of the dial. Can hardly see it with the naked eye! As with all pvd watches, dust was a problem, so apologies for that. Hopefully this will give you all a look at a watch that is truly different.
As always all comments, either negative or positive, are welcome.

I like it at any rate! the lume looks cool as well

Any chance you could get a shot of it on the wrist at a greater distance?

It's a watch that personally I don't get at all.

Like with all disk watches, not an awful lot of the available space is utilised to display the time ...that's just the way the rotating disks work.

They then chose to make the little display there is somewhat hard to read. Yeah, ok ... it kinda resembles a gunsight and that is sort of cool ...but I'd rather read the time than aim at it

But what totally distracts is all the gubbins that are going on away from the time.
That outrageous crank winder, the gold tone hexagon bolts, the deeply structured surfaces make you look anywhere but the time. So no ...as a timepiece it doesn't work for me at all ...at all.

But I do appreciate the fact that someone went out there and built it. To hell with conventions, this is what I want and this is what I'll make.
And I do appreciate that this is what you wanted and that you obviously spent a lot of time (and dare I say money) to get it ...fair play.

After all that's what makes our hobby so satisfying ...getting the watch you like and not what convention tells you to get.

So, well wear and may you enjoy it in good health for a long time.

Out of interest I make it 6:46 in the first shot above

Genuine question, am I correct?

I make it 6:46 as well ...but it took a while

interesting....no my cup of tea though

Strange the time goes from right to left...you would normally expect the digits to increase from left to right

Not for me - but, like free speech, I'll happily defend your right to it! If you like it, great!

Hopefully, it will inspire more watch designers, creators, etc to produce more revolutionary watches, and I'm sure I'll like one of them!

Well wear!

I have to say I like it. And I'm not exactly modern in my watch appreciation. I like different stuff and that's certainly different.

Bogmanfan,

Hard to associate a watch like that with a man with a Boards sign-in name like yours! Is it turf proof!

Doesn't float my boat, and took me a long time to figure out the time.

Is it a prop from an old Star Track episode:)

In any event best of luck with it.

In saying that the lower part of the dial could do with a perpetual calendar or sun dial.
