I've always liked the orange Shogun, but they never come up for sale.

Thanks, I will check it out.CGSshorty wrote:They have two orange dials. One is too bright but the second one looks pretty nice.mattcantwin wrote:The Kalmar, Chris?CGSshorty wrote:How about the new offering from H2O?
I know they don't get much love around here but it looks pretty nicely finished.
Looks interesting, but the "orange" doesn't not look orange.

Re: Yellow or orange dial watch possibility
I was thinking about staying out of this, but I had a bad experience with one of those chronos as well. Pretty rough quality control, and a hassle with getting it resolved. I think I upset some of the WUS regulars in the process. This was back in the Y3 days around here.matt.wu wrote:I think this dude had some quality issues with his watches.

If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH', the paint wouldn't even have time to dry.

Re: Yellow or orange dial watch possibility
Think you would like either one of these actually Matt. The yellow is different, and almost has this
amber, on it's way to gold look, and the orange seems extra deep also.
Seems like they have a nice hybrid style about them. Something old, and something new !
Plus you can imagine the different combinations with straps, or bracelets. Would be a really
nice choice sir.

Re: Yellow or orange dial watch possibility
Matt, what about the yellow dialed H2O Kalmar? Using the configurator with mat steel hands I think it looks good and am about to pull the trigger on this one myself.

Very nice, but I prefer the standard lug design.Marjak wrote:Matt, what about the yellow dialed H2O Kalmar?

respectful handshakes and awkward hugs.

watch you're looking for. They seem traditional, and look to have a very cool design, and are just
something you won't see out there much either.

Re: Yellow or orange dial watch possibility
I did not see this drawing, the case looks pretty good then. With a different set of hands either one will look pretty good to me. Definitely different and unique.
