Am I the only one that thinks those Alpinists looks funny because the numerals don’t match the hands?

No, that's one of the first things I noticed too. I don't think it looks terrible and it certainly doesn't ruin the watch for me but I think it's an odd choice. Hoping to see some more real life pics. That's one of the reasons I didn't purchase the Yema Superman Bronze which I kind of regret now. It turned out that the renders and pre-production models showed hands and indices of different colors but those colors all matched on the watches that actually shipped to buyers. :(

The Orient Singapore Instagram account probably has the best glamour shots of this. There are more there too. They look good but $$$. I'm interested to see what kind of prices these sell for in a year or two, especially grey market.

Well, the movement seems to be on a better side, 50 hours PR, and tighter accuracy. Currently on eBay for about $1.5K. My guess will be about $500 in a year or so.

Copied from their site:

40.5mm diameter, 10mm depth (11.75mm including domed crystal), 44mm-lug-to lug, 42mm pin-to-pin

20mm lugs

20ATM

SELLITA SW330-1 Top Grade movement with bespoke rotor featuring Farer A emblem in skeleton. Glucydur balance wheel, Nivaflex spring, Incabloc anti-shock mechanism
Upon announcement of the Farer GMT models, folks expressed concerns about the legibility of the white-dial model as it had silver hands. Farer reportedly took that into consideration and made a design change at the last minute. Now, the hands are black, as suggested by some of their potential customers:

It looks good. I am very happy with their World Timer so I cannot justify getting this, but my gosh, it's so tempting.

Yeeeeesh! That's what the MSRP is? I didn't do the currency exchange. That's outrageous. MSRP should be more like $400 with a street price around mid $200. Ouch.

Nice! LE, but needs hacking. [emoji6]

They've gone Swiss pricing with Seiko.

Chinese are going to be the next affordable non swiss.
