When I said I prefer a no date option, this is when there is no date wheel behind the dial.

If there is a date wheel anyway, I would go for the date option.

The recent Hamtun on Kickstarter and the new Dan Henry 1962 both offer no date options, but both have a hidden date wheel.

I think in general I agree with you. I much prefer a no date watch, liking in particular the clean lines to the dial. Out of my 14 watches, all but one has a date. And I used to wear without bothering to set it. But now it’s part of the time setting ritual when I decide which to wear. I quite enjoy ...

Just had my Northwind Armstrong Black hand delivered to my door, by the owner of company no less. Now that’s customer service. I took advantage of the £50 off and for the price, it’s a cracking piece of kit. All indices line up, hefty and solid feel to the bracelet. Nice milled edge to the bezel. Di...

Steve Bruce noooooooooooooo

Dilema is...do I wait for the Maen Skymaster

Damn, I forgot about that one!

I can’t seem to find if the no-date option still has the date wheel behind dial.

Anybody know?

Blue one looks very good.

Just had a quick response from Dan, there is a date wheel behind dial.

Just got 2 significant updates from Newmark which certainly makes a significant difference to me personally. 1. We have introduced a non date silver dial option for all backers (this isn't a stretch goal) so it's yet another choice at survey time! 2. After much calculation and deliberation we have ...

One of the WatchChat mods runs a review site and was very complimentary about the Newmark. It was chatting with him privately that convinced me to back it. https://zaltek.co.uk/watches/newmark71.html Phil, maybe Newmark should use the pic in the article you quoted. Looks better than on the Kickstar...

No problems for me. I had a red/white GMT in my basket, then changed mind.

Still don't think this one will fly....

Seems to have moved on a bit in last 24 hours or so, could be close.

Just my opinion, but I still think that shipping from Far East for a UK company has been the undoing of this campaign.

It may well still reach the required goal, but going to be close.

Great stuff, so glad you’re also happy. Good pics too.

Saves me doing some when I get home tomorrow.

How’s the accuracy so far?

Interesting article today on WatchPro about the success or otherwise of Watch projects on Kickstarter. Guy Sent from my Xperia XZ Premium using Tapatalk Good read Guy, thx Luckily the 2 campaigns I’ve backed so far have made it with time to spare. Just been checking out the Maen Skymaster, looks go...

@thebeatles - good watch for the price, Brian. Grey / green is unusual and distinctive; I like it for that. Chuncky tool watch, quite large and hefty. Beware, bezel is fixed. Black is more normal and will likely sell well, but if you can find a grey / green I'd advocate buy it, as they are not prod...
