Not bad, they went a little crazy with color combination options though.

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.

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 headaches

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.

am i the only one who thought, "why did they render the serial number mirrored in that rendering?"

.....and why not just engrave the case? This stylistic serial number plate is just something else to go wrong.

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!
