Hello there everyone.

We are proud to announce the Watchfreeks 2014 Limited Edition Forum Watch.

We were able to work with Maranez for the Titanium Bangla model to offer a limited edition of 50 watches, at an INCREDIBLE price point.

Right away I would like to thank Maranez for working with us on this and being able to offer something unique to their lineup.

So here is what you will be able to purchase.

Limited to 50 pieces.

Custom silver dial with LE printed on dial.
Custom color hands
Engraved Caseback with Watchfreeks and LE number

The price for this will be $349 plus $50 Fed Ex 2 day shipping , so with shipping will be $399.

Preorder will be a deposit of $75 that is NON Refundable
Preorders are NOT Transferable.


Production will take about 6 weeks. Balance payment will be due before delivery.

Here is what it will look like:

Well done.
It would be great if you have an idea for a cool strap mod for this watch, too. The one thing I'm not high on is the cuda rubber (because I just make it on the last whole and no other reason). Just a thought anyway, maybe a cool 2 piece gunny nato or something like that?
NATE

Just for reference, I'm a 8.25 inch wrist and I have 5 holes left on the rubber strap. There is also a nice tab at the end of the strap that makes it wear a little longer. I'd say a 9 inch wrist should be OK with this strap.

I love the two versions I Have. The blasted Brass casing is taking on a beautiful patina and the Ti is very light. Truly great strap watches that can handle thick leather. They really don't wear as big as some may think. I can't wait for the L.E. watch. I'm in the second the preorder begins.
I agree that they seem to wear a bit smaller than the listed size. Also, the Ti makes them lighter than you would expect for a larger watch and that adds to the comfort. I'm in as well. This is on my 'To Do List' for today.

I wish there was a way to show the rendering with some straps from the different custom strap members. I am one of those guys that has trouble visualizing what a strap will look like on a watch. I'd love to see what some of our talented strap members could come up with for this LE.
Joe has taken a ton of shots on his two...
Yes, I have been in contact with Joe. I was just thinking out loud and know that it would help me if they could somehow show some of their cool straps on this watch head. I think it would be a cool app for the strap makers. Maybe load up their strap samples and you could see what they would look like on any watch. Now I've gone and said too much......

Damn. I've wanted a ti watch for some time now. I love Ennebi. I love silver dials. This is calling me but just to verify, this is no date? I'm on the fence about the minute markers (I prefer the dots on the regular Bangla), but the lack of the date? That's a deal-breaker.
I would argue that the dial is clean and thus unique. The lack of a date and the minimal writing are part of what I am attracted to. I own a Ti Cali and it is a wonderful watch. I can not emphasize how much value this watch provides for the money. As any watch, it is not for everyone. However, I think those that get one will consider themselves extremely lucky to have one of only 50 made.

I'm working on designing a custom leather strap for this watch. I hope it comes out as nicely as it looks in the design phase. If it does I will pass on the information and you can order the exact one or a modified version as they are custom made with titanium hardware. More information to come.......this is just a tease.
Hi guys. Just saying, but I have paid the deposit for item number 0050...
What number did you get?
I have #49.
Cool..I thought you posted #50. That one is MINE....all MINE. :smile-thumb2:
No problem as long as you keep your hands off my #50. After that it is wide open.

There is a lot that goes into a Limited Edition watch. First you need to find a company willing to work with you and meet your needs and specs. This is harder than you think considering we are asking for a very small production run (about 50 units). The price needs to be right, the watch needs to have broad appeal, the production company needs to agree to stamp Watchfreeks LE and piece number on the case back, and some other minor conditions need to be met. So far, we have been very lucky finding 3 companies that have been great to work with and have produced fabulous LE watches for us.

Currently no decisions have been made for 2015. We are exploring all options and if anything looks promising we will keep you updated.
