wants thousands of dollars for it (which seems like a lot even if you do get the gold dollar coin embedded in the back of the case?).

seriously, this watch is priced at $5800 in SS, $8400 in carbon.

double ewe tee eff.

Fit and finish on the watch looks like something on a $50 watch. And the design looks like an alien trinket from a super hero movie. Also, the font needs to be larger.........

Wow, I'm negative today.

Movement is Eterna, so at least there is that.

An almost $6000 watch with a joint line like this.......

Doesn't suggest precision manufacturing to me. That line should be seamless and you should NOT be able catch a fingernail on it if you run it across the seam.

It makes me think they based too much off the 3D printed prototype.

It looks more like a CAD fabricated item.
It's a beautiful world! Gerald.

It looks gross and I am assuming it cannot be comfortable. I thought they were going for a $2-300 price point, which this watch looks like a $300 watch, apart from the random gold coin in the back.
