Very pretty, a monopusher / JH lovechild?
A lot better looking than the original, its a bit more Nomos or Meistersinger now I.e not trying so hard.
I'll never be in the market for one of these but my thoughts are the 43mm case is too big, stretching the dial space too much making it look blander than it should be and the jump hour would be easier to read in arabic (oh and blume flame that hand to make it look special).
I miss all the great things that may never be.

Single hand issue aside, I prefer the MK2 to the MK1, owing mainly to the loss of the spider web dial and applied logo. I agree with Welshlad that it is a shame the C9 case has been used again but guess this is to keep costs down and present the MK2 at a similar price to the MK1, rather than tool up for a different case and see prices run away.

My 2p worth when I see the picture it's 100% a looker and IMO its more pleasing to the eye over the mk1 actually it's very nice looking watch! for me I don't have any plans on a jumping hour for me but I can clearly see the beauty of this watch its a very good looking watch indeed

Well done CWL and Johannes and his team

Seems a generally positive reaction.

I wonder how many will be ordered during the first day.

I really like it, not so sure about the 15/30/45 though. Otherwise, great!

It would still be a C900 for me, despite the price difference.
I thought I was helping you to fund this! :lol:

After my dithering two pages back, a rant at my credit card company, a pleasant exchange of emails with Wera.... the deed has now been done :). No 012 in the bag :thumbup: .

The Mark I was a hotchpotch for me and the sticker made it look cheap and tacky.

I like this one but will not be buying.

I prefer it to the first one....cleaner face,nicer hand. However i don't like the mix of Roman Numerals and Arabic.

Same. I think it's the font makes me dislike those arabic numerals. I actually think I like the MK1 more than the MK2. :silent:

Hi

I like this a lot, but I though Chris said he would not produce another version. Maybe I got it wrong.
