Guys, have you had time to see Tuul’s Filthy 13 watches?
There look to be two bead blasted stainless steel, and two bronze
so far. With details like 38mm case size, black, white, and green
dials, cool straps, as well as Sellita SW261-1 under the hood.

I like how the stainless / black dial looks. Cost is kind of off ($1k eek!).

I love the bronze, but I wish it was 40mm.

I like these a lot but $1k is ambitious for brand new microbrand and fairly basic specs. Moreover, as far as I’m concerned, it is too small and they should offer two size options.

I’m not seeing the price. I just reviewed a much more complicated watch in the Tuseno Shellback with an SW200 that is $649 preorder and $749 retail. It’s also stamped “Swiss Made”. Im not saying it’s a bad watch, it could be nicely made but $1000 ? They should have launched at like $700 max.

Agreed especially when you’re new and trying to establish yourself in a sea of microbrands that are more competitive.

It’s definitely a handsome watch. I really like this version.

Maybe just me, but I kind of wish this watch was a hand-cranker rather than an automatic.
This style just seems like one you'd want to manually wind. Somehow the auto movement just feels wrong to me in this style watch.
