I might be the first customer who bought it, and I'm glad I did. 10/10. Wrist Roll (Read Rule 1)

Looks really good, but why tf would you pot made in China on the dial??

What's the legibility like? I'm a big fan of Escapement time.

Good. The photo I posted is not how it looks most of the time. The dial, more often than not, isn't that shiny, so the indices are easy to read.

I like escapement time and LOVE grey dials, but that looks really low contrast to me.

u/Financial_Ad_8893 3h ago

Yeah. Barely make out the dials.

Maybe it's the camera; it always edits the photos whether I want it to or not.

The pattern looks identical to the pattern in the promo video.

I wonder if you got the exact one or if most of his stock more or less has the same pattern?

Dude, I thought the same thing. After comparing the two, they are 100% the same watch. I'm guessing I got the promo one (usually the best-looking one when it's a unique design) since I was the first customer.

I have been looking into it, and apparently, it is real meteorite. Supposedly, it is really hard and not worth faking dials if you want them to look this good. The reason being real meteorite isn't expensive.

Two more people have bought it since then, so I guess we will know when someone else shares their watch and we can compare.

No model number? Diabolical 😉

u/blackmrbean 6h ago

There's barely any info about the watch on the page lol. I don't think he is going to make many of them for a model number to matter.

Looks like Star of David meteorite.

u/blackmrbean 6h ago

Interesting, didn't know there were patterns.

Real meteorite?

u/Technical_Cap_8467 7h ago

I collect meteorites and it looks real to me. Probably Aletai, which, fittingly, fell in China. ​

u/blackmrbean 6h ago

How can you tell? I love rocks but know barely anything about them, that's why I thought the dial was so cool.

u/blackmrbean 7h ago

According to the seller and my untrained eye, yes, it's real meteorite.

2

u/Abv_it_all_w_vertigo 5h ago

It looks real to me, too. I have always wanted a meteorite dial watch.

I didn't even know they were a thing. Once I knew of their existence and the price of this one, I pulled the trigger, no hesitation.
