What’d you call me?! 🤣

SU had my attention for a moment, but I can’t take them seriously.

Fears, OTOH, is on my short list for gens.

I just ordered two of them. My son and I both fell in love with the same salmon colored one with the open font. I'll post here when I get it and let you guys know what I think (ordering from Jomashop).

Sorry, I forgot to update this. We got our watches. They are very nice. I'm a bit disappointed that you really can't appreciate the texture of the dial when it's on your wrist. It's a small watch and very light. Personally I think it should be 40-41mm rather than 36mm. If you left it on a table and a wind gust came up it would probably blow away. It's nice quality, nice straps. Not sure if it's actually worth the money. It seems like an every day watch but it feel so delicate. We got both the blue and the green straps.

I want to love my MR01 so much but every time I pick it up it feels like a $75 watch

I like the watches, I like the way HDT designs them, unfortunately a bit steep price for a microbrand if you ask me (1800€+)
  • Swiss Manual Chronograph (ok but, which one?)
  • Sapphire crystal
  • 39mm steel case
  • Only 12.4 mm thick

Just received my preorder for my Henry Archer Vesterhav. It has a lot going for it for a watch under $500: 200m WR, screw down crown, bright lume, color matched date wheel, tool-less micro adjustment clasp, tapered bracelet, screwed in links, female end links with quick release spring bars, sapphire front and back. All in 10.4mm thin case with excellent fit and finishing.

Have you seen the new "Ultraviolet" release with the mosaic MOP dial? I love it.
