I still think Hodookie will make something nice.

Which watch is Adams based off of ?

It looks like an oddball variant of the Mark XVIII 'Tribute to Mark XI' to my eyes.

One you can’t buy in flyover country.






It looks like a different dial on a regular mark xxxxxvvvvvvvviiiii case. Dateless I think, and probably still having the date functionality in the movement, because why do a good job when people still buy?

I think a good hodinkee would have been a 3706 remake without fake aged lume

I'd buy that with/without the aged lume.

Aim higher: 3705

A normal sized ceramic cased chronograph. People would go crazy.

The XVIII case has become the new Turdle. :

Do miss mine on bracelet... was the most comfortable watch I’ve ever owned.

What a surprise ;) Figured it wouldn't be a Genta-styled Ingenieur as that would really highlight how bad the standard Ingenieur lineup has become.

Looks like Ken is right. $6400, not as bad as I thought it would be.

Damn it. I really like this one.

But $6400 worth of like?

I bought a cheap watch from a crazy man
Floating down canal
It doesn't use numbers or moving hands
It always just says now
Now you may be thinking that I was had
But this watch is never wrong
And If I have trouble the warranty said

Ken obviously knows someone on the inside ;)

Nice watch but I think I would have preferred it in steel.

I have a lot of friends that BS about knowing watch industry info all the time but sometimes I guess they tell the truth. Totally thought they were messing with me when they just agreed with me.

These are the specs I guessed Hodinkee most likely would choose based on what I think they would design, but I didn't think they'd really get to use ceratanium.
