They have taken their time to get this one as they want it and it looks to have paid off. I’ve been following the project for three years.

Yes. I see San Martin has a similar thing in pre order status. I am assuming they will ship the damn watches before Iceborne.the cost is also cheaper

It's a really nice watch, I like it and there are no real issues with it. Is it perhaps an alternative to the Tudor Ranger? In my opinion the length of the hands is right, if the hour hand was longer it would be too long in relation to the minute hand. There is a some text on the dial, under the 6 o'clock mark it says "Zealandic", but it's unobtrusive and easy to miss. As for the price: don't get me wrong, I wish them all the best for their campaign. But if I were them, I would reconsider the price. They are a new brand that hasn't had a successful campaign yet. They should bring the price closer to $ 300 USD, I doubt many people would be willing to spend significantly more than that on this watch, as nice as it may be.

@@AlexanderB. You're right about the text at the bottom below the 6 o'clock. It's that small and close to the edge that I completely forgot it was even there 🤦‍♂️

It’s different which is good only thing might be if people have a large collection and rotation trying to squeeze in this might be a challenge as the used market is flat as a pancake.if you need to sell to make space for a new mid range piece like this

Nice looking watch but at a crazy price. It might be assembled in NZ but all the parts almost certainly come from China so why so expensive?

@HonestWatchReviewsHWR 4 ай бұрын

@@ccooper8785 Microbrand watches always cost more than those from China. That's just to be expected, as they don't have the economy of scale that AliExpress brands have.

@musik4u343 4 ай бұрын

So my problem with this watch is that overall it's decent but it looks like a mod watch. A lot of these things I've seen on AliExpress and other places where you can just buy a lot of these things individually and just make your own watch. It doesn't have the same look (in a bad way) as other brands. Also the price is too high, especially given what I said.
