I think this is their worst offering yet. So many odd design choices.

i'm with chris, just when i thought they were establishing a brand identity, these seem totally out of left field.

+1

I've liked some of Farer's earlier offerings but these are pretty awful.

agree with the "which railroad track did they run off of during the design phase?" sentiments.

Honestly think they look really nice Paul ! :) 8-) Like you are saying, they are
not your typical Fliegers, but they still have all of the aspects that make a pilot's
watch a pilot's watch. From the hands, and crowns, to the different kinds of
numbering, and markings. ..Then on top of that, you have some eye-catching
accents, color combinations, and even lume ! :o

What's nice, is there is something for everyone, and they are refreshing pilot's
watch wise, and watch wise in general Paul. :salute: THX a ton for the look !!!
