Thanks Matt. That's too big for me, and stupidly they don't offer that design in a smaller size. It's a really good looking watch. It's like a Damasko but without the goofy shit that they always do to their watches.
Yep. I wish it was the smaller case. That would be my choice as well.
I think they are trying to replicate the size and look of the original Bunds, which were about 43mm. That being said, I agree.

I've had mine for a few years now, very nice watch very well regulated, good value. The back on mine is a display back the movement is nicely decorated

I was thinking it reminded me of Sinn...not sure what they use for movements, but if they are standard and they dont have that moisture capsule or the Ar gas (like Sinn sometimes uses)...you could really get it serviced anywhere which is a plus.

I like the look a lot. Havent ever really investigated these.

So did you end up resisting the guinand urge? I thought I saw you were selling watches because you bought a Rolex? Looking forward to seeing what you ended up with. A ton of great options on this thread.

Yep, holding off for now due to the other purchase. However, my interactions with them have been very pleasant and I hope to add a Duograph later this year perhaps.

They really are an under-rated brand I decided to wear mine today. The movement looks to be a top grade 7750 nicely decorated with flared 'spokes" on the wheel

I'm in the midst of a self-imposed watch buying moratorium but this is very tempting.

It’s a lot of watch for around $1.7k. My email interactions with them have been very pleasant as well.

I’m tempted now. Their website is way better than last time I visited.

They seem to use top grade movements as well, and then regulate them at Guinand once it's set in the watch before they ship . Mine is at less than 1 sec per day it gains +5/wk

I keep going back to this page, I keep telling myself I don't need another chrono, especially since I have a Wilson Watchworks Bund, I dont need this watch
