EWF 36mm new explorer 1

[Feefo]

No one beats anyone here, de gustibus non est disputandum. Taste, mood, it really changes, what you like today you may not like tomorrow, the "I'll never wear a TT" becomes "man is that TT hot!". My taste was very different, or better, narrower, before falling into the rabbit hole.

I doubt so man.

Look at the movement. It looks like SA3230 which I think is just SA3130 decorated with 3230 engraving.

It might not even have 40hrs of PR.

70 hours for a clone movement? Not a chance.

VS3235 can achieve that.

VS3235 can achieve that.

Really? Show me the certification. Just kidding. Well that's impressive, I knew VS was the best around (right? Well at least better than VR) , but didn't imagine that it had reached such sofistication. What about watchsmith feedback? Is it an easy movement to work/service?

Can't wait to see some pics and your review! Really really curious. Would you mind sharing the link to the model you chose?

Does it have the correct 19mm end-links with 16mm clasp ?

70 hours for a clone movement? Not a chance.

As far as i understand, EWF uses the Hangzhou 7 series movement, decorated to 3235, and yes it does have 70hrs PR.
On a side note, it might also be more reliable than the clone 3235, and definitely cheaper to repalce.

I however, do not know exactly the model number of the base movement, if anyone knows please advise.

Blasphemy alert: Is it possible to swap in a quartz movement? Perhaps a Seiko Mecha-Quartz?

 

[FaekieOne]

Here’s my EWF:

Had it for 3 days and seems to be running about +20spd.
The clasp has a bit sharp edges and the bracelet needs an oil bath. Maybe it will help a bit. The dial is very good. Crystal LEC is too easy to see.

 

[wubsub]

EWF is a solid contender for this model but i still prefer BP. i hate how the pinion isn’t capped on the EWF. BP is solid in that regard.

A sub at 36 would be lovely imo hahah

Tudor used to make one of those. I don't think a rep has ever been done though.

I like it. Only doubt I'd have is the gold color. In the pictures it doesn't look as glittery as the real thing. BUT (big one) lighting is key, only real life will tell. Can't wait for the pics when you got it in your hands.

Would have been exquisite in rose gold
