3 watches with class 5 hardened titanium case and bracelet, ceramic bezel, drilled lugs, sapphire crystal and frame and applied markers for less than £600. No brainer!!

Re: Kickstarter: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Didn’t add Sellita as yet, having a think about my options. Looking forward to seeing stretch options.
Guy, not necessarily looking to sell on, colour choice dependent of course. I have 3 Samurai, so I’m ok with multiple watches of similar style etc. But you’re right, I won’t lose money on any as I could easily sell on eBay or on here at the price I paid. I just wanted to ensure I got in at Launch Day price. Looking at some comments, it certainly looks like some missed out on the “one day only” price due to demand and/or connection problems.

Re: Kickstarter: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
That’s good to hear. And looking at the colour options being discussed in the comments, I am considering upgrading mine to 2 watches. Decisions decisions!!

Re: Kickstarter: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
I’ve seen renderings of the blue and the green so far. Blue a possibility, not sure on the green at the moment.
Might need a new dedicated “Hamtun” thread before long.

Yes the blue looks good, but I also like the titanium 12 hour bezel.TheBeatles wrote: ↑Wed Mar 06, 2019 6:11 pm

Re: Kickstarter: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Twelve hour, Titanium bezel is gorgeous. Changes the whole look of the watch.
I had decided earlier today to pass on this. May have to reconsider.
@TheBeatles - definitely a good case for a separate Hamtun topic, Brian.

I came across this elsewhere, when the brand owner started a thread asking for feedback.
Quite quirky. Seems to be looking to launch fundraising in Q2. Brand based in Scotland.
Date at 6, Internal adjustable bezel and a bracelet style different to the usual suspects. Choice of 5 colours.
Acura Wayfarer.

Re: Kickstarter: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Well, after seeing the pics of the Trident MK3, I think I'll be contacting Ross to see about upping my order from one H2 to two
Re: Kickstarter: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
I changed mine to 2 at the last minute, as wanted the all blue and the white/titanium combination. What colour are you going for?TigerChris wrote: ↑Thu Apr 04, 2019 4:57 pm Well, after seeing the pics of the Trident MK3, I think I'll be contacting Ross to see about upping my order from one H2 to two

Re: Kickstarter: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
To be honest I haven't decided 100% yet. I really like the blue writing and pip on the second hand so will probably be the black/titanium bezel as I don't need another white dial. If I decide to ask Ross if I can add a second it'll probably be the all blue. The metorite was tempting, but until I see a proper prototype to see how light or dark it is and whether it will retain the blue writing/pip I wasn't prepared to commit.TPS10 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 04, 2019 9:31 pmI changed mine to 2 at the last minute, as wanted the all blue and the white/titanium combination.

Re: Kickstarter: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Decisions, Decisions - I’ve ordered 3 Super Early Bird and have yet to make a final choice. I think the blue/blue is a definite though. And that titanium bezel looks amazing, in addition White dial no-date option has a great balanced dial.TPS10 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 04, 2019 9:31 pmI changed mine to 2 at the last minute, as wanted the all blue and the white/titanium combination.
