Looks like another winner from them Paul ! :salute:

Can imagine those changes will make a big difference in comfort, but
then at the same time still has a real boldness. ..Has that cool controlled
aggression theme happening which is great ! 8-) Thanks so much for the look !!!

I think it’s a good bit more than that.

It will wear like a coaster instead of a hockey puck.

true, which is unfortunate. I really like the finish work they put into their watches. they are just way to long and tall imo. funny, the dude who owns the company has a small wrist.

So do most of the guys who buy them. The new chronograph is thick, but a much better size for most people.

I saw the handwind one he did a few years ago at a recent GTG. It was a pretty watch. Hell the finish was as good as Aegir, but it was a long mofo. :crybaby:

This all looks and sounds real good with that lug to lug and killer bracelet. Thanks for sharing.

I had the K2 bronze for a little while. Wore great on my 6.5 inch wrist. Since the lugs curve down it grips the wrist and stays in place. It actually felt more comfortable than the Seiko for me.

Interesting. It doesn’t look any larger than the Seiko there.

Like the dial, don't like the lugs.
