Seems like a decent looking watch for 315 Euro. Anyone getting one?

Holding out for a no-Date release myself.

Ideally automatic but I could do the quartz without much bother.

Not usually a fan of dates at 4:30 but this is matched to the dial (same as on my Longines) so it is not an eye sore and is, imho, forgivable.

At least it is centered at 4:30 and not at 4:20-ish as usual.

i kind of like it. great specs on it. they even did the date correct imo. my only gripe is the bezel paint. i hope their kids isn't the one painting it.

I think those pics were the prototype. There's a couple of production model pics on Instagram that look better.

Those are terrific Paul ! :clap: ..Seriously, the entire design is perfect, and then
the attention to detail looks to be out of this world really. Even the crown
has the submarine on it. ..You don't see that every day. :o ..Insanely nice !

Thank you very much !!!

Just arrived. I don't usually go for quartz, but this one seemed well done. It's as nice as I expected. I love the design and 39mm case. Looks and wears great.

Wow Paul, thought that looked like a new arrival in the WRUW section,
but wasn't 100% sure ! :o :thumbsup:

Really does seem so well done, and thought out, and like it is the
perfect size from here honestly. ..Love how at first glance you
would swear this was decades old, but then see the neat modern
touches ! Enjoy Paul, and BIG congrats here !!!

The French micros seem to really get things looking good. I’m kicking myself for not getting on Akrone’s list sooner. I would have surely bought the K-02, 03 and perhaps the 04, but prices are high but fantastic movements.

This seem priced well because of the quartz movement. The design and finish exude quality. I need to look harder at this brand.
