Thanks Jon! Stunning build and design. Wonder how long the assemblers could work at a time without going snow blind...2 years to assemble. Wow. I would assume the accuracy is good but no mention of that or if it is water resistant to 100m. :p Like Kent said I liked the 10x scale acrylic prototype also and represents a whole new concept in weight, inertia and holding tolerances in acrylic. Also the double sided bezel was stunning imho. I can see the cost for something like this and 6 new patents (Wow), but $2.5m on my arm scares the stuffing out of
me. But as an investment...maybe...just out'a my league for sure!
Not much for bling on a watch but just received my new Seiko,
first with Bling, (a chronograph BD gift) to replace my old Kinetic (5M62-oc80). Way out of my normal price point but thanks to Amazon and a gift from my better half. The old Kinetic lasted 12 years through hell and high water (several 20-40m dives in Australia), day in and out every where I was. It finally died quietly, plus nobody locally wanted to work on it (not cost effective). It also held to about 10-15 seconds a month all that time and worked out to about 6 cents/day. Been a Seiko fan since my first self wind in 65'...had a couple of casio's (G-shock & calc watch)...but short lived and hated the bands on them. Best thing is the new one is a 43mm case and I can read it night or day without trifocals...:rolleyes: We'll see how the solar works out, accuracy and longevity, but for my 53 years and 6 of them...should be fine for
me.
