Thank you for the review and the critics, the more feedback we get, the better we can do future projects :)))

[@JonathanTReviews]

My pleasure! It's an excellent foundation and will only get better with updates. Cheers

Pascal, did you regulate the Swiss STP movement? Mine is running consistantly 15 seconds fast a day over past 2 months.

[@pascu50i]

@@crvols we do regulate them to be within the specs given by STP.

I have the Swiss made version...with carbon goldust dial....the watch is simply stunning. It was worth the wait...best Lume and best bezel I have ever experienced. I had one issue with mine and Pascal was true to his word and sorted the problem for me. The packaging and attention to detail is second to none...even the warranty card is beautiful.

[@JonathanTReviews]

I really like the gold carbon dial in the bronze packaging! I agree in all respects, it's an impressive package for the money. Cheers

Bought Bronze Raven with black MOP dial and Seiko no date movement from them, received it last week. Outstanding watch and the package for the money! Interesting, well made and definitely original looking timepiece 👌and that lume ✨ What also amazes me is the brushing on the hands, precise and clean. They play so well with light 🤎 This meteorite looks so cool, I am strongly considering buying one of these. Also, they have these stone meteorite ones, which are pretty cool. Would like to see more pics of these also 👍

[@JonathanTReviews]

Thanks for the feedback! Great to read you're loving it! I agree, they have loads of unique elements and very solid execution for the price. If you do decide to pick up another, I pinned a discount code for 12% off. Cheers

I received my Swiss variant with ceramic bezel and MOP dial a couple of months ago and have worn it ever since. I love the watch and, like you, wear it on an elastic Marine Nationale strap with bronze keepers from Jwesties in Austraillia. The only complaint I have is it gains 15 seconds a day which, is within spec of 20 but, thought it would be better regulated. Otherwise I love it and it is starting to patina nicely.

[@JonathanTReviews]

That's great you're loving it so much overall! The elastic straps seem perfect for this package. That is higher than I'd like with regulation as well. Watching them patina is my favorite part and I think this design begs for its vintage touch. Cheers

Good review! Got the exact same watch! Love it! Just ordered the red dial watch with the Xmas discount code.

[@JonathanTReviews]

Thank you very much! Awesome! I hope you enjoy your new addition. Cheers

[@WINDINGCROWNS]

That lume looks great!! Very nice dial too.

[@JonathanTReviews]

The lume is really impressive and I like natural meteorite a lot as well! Cheers

[@Horology_Report]

Isn't this case and bezel literally a blancpain fifty fathoms with modified lugs?

[@JonathanTReviews]

Without having them side-by-side, I can't say with certainty but the proportions look different to my eye. There are similarities though. Cheers

[@erikbasil2787]

Well done, JT.

[@JonathanTReviews]

Thanks buddy! Cheers

[@stevenmccarthy112]

I bought one of these recently. The lume on the indexes is blue while the hands and bezel have green lume. I would much prefer to have ALL the lume green because the blue lume is not as bright.

[@JonathanTReviews]

Thanks for sharing that feedback. I didn't realize the BGW9 versions kept C3 for the hands. I like the whiter color of BGW9 and the blue glow, but you're right that it never gets as bright. Cheers

[@AlexanderB.]

It's a shame they only make it in bronze. Bronze watches aren't for me.

[@JonathanTReviews]

They actually just dropped a 904L Stainless one and some different watches in Damascus and Timascus! Cheers

[@TheLchr]

@@JonathanTReviews Are they copying Zelos?

[@JonathanTReviews]

Zelos definitely broke the ground for a lot of exotic materials but several others are trying their hand too. I wouldn't necessarily say copying, as it's inevitable to borrow some ideas, but Zelos did introduce a lot of cool options. Cheers

[@TheLchr]

@@JonathanTReviews Have you seen the 904L in the flesh or have you reviewed it? What is special about 904L stainless steel?

[@JonathanTReviews]

Unfortunately I have not. I've been tempted to give the Wise Adamascus a try and it features 904L. While I'm not an expert, it's my understanding the main differences are increased corrosion resistance and a shinier appearance (that's also supposed to be easier to polish), relative to 316L. Cheers

[@natebrick1078]

I ran right to the site, but they were out of Japanese movements

[@JonathanTReviews]

They're coming back soon though! Cheers

[@pascu50i]

there will be a restock in August :)
