I hate that it looks so much like Sinn, no offense

Re: Karlskrona Artillerist Basic Field Watch - Blasted or Brushed Finish?
I don't mind the blasted finish.
One thing I will comment on is the use of Swiss at 6. It just wreaks of marketing. We in the know are aware it does not mean anything more than movement but to the non Watch enthusiasts it gives them the impression it is Swiss made, which it is not.
It's like the made in USA or USA on the dial.
In my opinion if it is not Swiss made, do not put Swiss anywhere on the dial.

I usually like brushed SS but for this watch I feel BB would work well

Brushed lasts longer than bead blasted. I have a great Glycine field watch that is blasted and it shows wear very quickly.
Love the look, btw, even though I agree it is sinn'ish.

Blasted finish looks uglier and wears worse. Do what you want.

Brushed, can you use "Swiss" on the dial?

I like it a ton. Brushed please.
And yeah, dump the "Swiss" thing. Not required.

Leaning brushed. Perhaps I produce a small run of blasted watches as well and offer a choice.

Prototype of blasted finish case. The crown will not be polished on the production watches.
I am still deciding on the final case finish, blasted or brushed.

Your pictures suck; so it’s hard to see how nice the bead blasting is, but I still will probably lean towards blasted.Bradystraps wrote:Prototype of blasted finish case. The crown will not be polished on the production watches.

Yes my production team’s pics are dirty. Once I have the watch I will post better shots.

This watch needs drilled lugs.
