That's a really cool looking case / bezel combo...love the knurled texture on the edge of the bezel.

I just wish that we have lesser interesting watches rolling out. Too many, too quick...

I can’t take it. My wallet can’t handle it.

These are really cool. But I'm really trying not to buy anything. Also not sure how the 45mm would look on my baby wrist

Thinking with no discernible lugs and a wide bezel, there's a good chance it could wear a lot smaller.

That or I'm being an enabler.

No, actually Doug (of MWW) said that it wears like 40-42mm.

Plus... you can’t fault the 11mm height, can you?

My 8 year old son wears a 40mm. [emoji6]

Two hours left: Manchester Watch Works!

Post by heliopod »

This is a great watch, from a great indie watch maker. A reissue of their very first watch. Crazy affordable and damn pretty.

And there are only two hours left! They just need a few more buyers to make this possible!
