Not bad, they went a little crazy with color combination options though.
Re: NEREIDE GMT - not bad for 499 Euro
Interesting side note. It has a numbered plate that screws on the side which is intentionally made from Corten steel. Corten steel was popular starting in the 70's on buildings as it rusts rapidly and then the rust stabilizes into a rusty patina. Strange choice as this will be a rusty plate quickly if it ever sees water/salt. Suppose it could look interesting with the leather, but they are going to get a ton of buyers complaining about rust as most don't know what Corten is.

Re: NEREIDE GMT - not bad for 499 Euro
huh, learned something new today - I think that's pretty cool feature and will look interesting (maybe even good) if nothing else it's different, but you're right, unless they tell potential that it is supposed to rust/stabilize they are just asking for headachesdnslater wrote: ↑Thu Jul 05, 2018 8:22 amInteresting side note.

Interesting info about the side plate!
Aesthetically these look alright. Has anyone handled one of their prior watches?

I can already picture the WUS shitshow that will explode weeks after delivery when everyone's watches are rusty.rockmastermike wrote: ↑Thu Jul 05, 2018 8:52 ambut you're right, unless they tell potential that it is supposed to rust/stabilize they are just asking for headaches
Re: NEREIDE GMT - not bad for 499 Euro
am i the only one who thought, "why did they render the serial number mirrored in that rendering?"
Re: NEREIDE GMT - not bad for 499 Euro
.....and why not just engrave the case? This stylistic serial number plate is just something else to go wrong.gwells wrote:am i the only one who thought, "why did they render the serial number mirrored in that rendering?"

I didn’t like it at first look, but the white dial grey bezel is growing on me.

That white dial with “gold” bezel looks tight!
It's a beautiful world! Gerald.
