The chosen FEW
Re: The chosen FEW
Think I might be making a cheeky purchase of one of these as a birthday present. The real life pics look pretty decent and an automatic for £165 is good value.

Nice what case you gonna go for Andy?

Re: The chosen FEW
I'm looking at the other black option with the black GMT outer ring. Probably with one of the white faces with orange dials. Plan on getting both the orange and white (bit bling I'll admit) rubber strap as plan to use it for mountain biking.Dancematt wrote:Nice what case you gonna go for Andy?

Re: The chosen FEW
I looked at the orange rubber too, its quite hot! went for nato for comfort mainly. The pvd finish is very good so black is a good option - i rather like the steel bracelet - looks good quality considering the price...but thats the brand all over from my experiences. mines still going strong........losing a second a week, not awful really, i've had a fair few citizen quartz's that mostly lost 7/8 secs a month.
Hope we get to see it

Re: The chosen FEW
Problem is deciding! Just swapped to the black aviator style with the black/yellow ring. Means dropping the orange strap though

Re: The chosen FEW
That was my design before the latest one! I'm proving to be very indecisive.Dancematt wrote:How about black aviator, white dive ring, white or black dial, orange seconds hand and orange rubber strap?andys wrote:Problem is deciding!

Kind of a close kluge, but lacking in the polish and details.

Re: The chosen FEW
A quick update. Taken very quickly on the 'phone. The camera isn't brilliant and file size reduced for upload.Dancematt wrote:thats pretty cool Galton!...Galton321 wrote:Well done Dancematt for taking the plunge. ... Out of interest my Miyota auto powered Few is proving to be the most accurate watch I own bar none.
Now we need to see ST Riders efforts to complete the trio!
Must make a confession. I didn't design this one but it is almost identical to one that I would have (this is black instead of a dark blue and wouldn't have gone for silver on silver sub-hands). Found it under the bargains section on the Few site. I suspect operates a little like CWL's Nearly New (returns?) clearance bit. Anyhow, for a third off the price I thought it worth a try. Haven't been disappointed so far. A good everyday watch.
TTFN, Alex

Re: The chosen FEW
Nice one ST - first steel model i've seen - the diver bezel looks good and clean in reality too.
