GREAT REVIEW TC!!

I love this new one from Keith. Such a unique design. Love the name and the second hand that carries it's namesake.

BTW caseback design was done by a member on WUS. Keith had a little thread going awhile back and asked for ideas for the caseback.

Hope it's ok to post the thread here. I think it's a really cool back story for those that do not know. You can see how the idea shaped overtime in the thread. Also shows you how connected Keith is to his customers/fans.

Nice piece all around and great review. I am like the aggressive bezel, but it looks like it could catch on something...that is the only thing. The bracelet is very nice as well as case design.

Thank you for the review.

After reading the review I was surprised with the price point. I'd been expecting it cost much more.

Great review! I really like it. The curved lugs are beautifully done. L2L of 52mm is just fine, but if the watch was between 42-44mm, I would be all over it. The bezel, while unique, can be a weapon as well, lol.

Very nice, Don! It looked great, but the ceramic makes it even better! The lume is the kicker, man, that looks great! Thanks for the update and new pics!

The Bezel switch sounds great, but to be honest, I am a little nervous. Have you looked to see if the mechanisms holding the bezel down will wear with changes? I am afraid it might if switched too often, and then have the bezel fall off on when just wearing.

Rob, good question. From what I can tell, it all seems very well made, and I dont think it would be a huge issue. The bezel snaps in and locks in place, but you do pose a good question.
I would personally think its not something you would want to do on a daily basis(on any watch), but I dont think it would be an issue if you do it every few weeks to change up the look.

Hopefully Keith can chime in when he sees the update.
