It reminds me of wine so much. I think it'd be perfect as a Sommelier's watch. I don't know if you drink wine (I don't drink very much of it), but I've been studying it (we spit it all out after tasting the wine) and this watch just makes me think about wine.
AP copied Moser. 😉
fascinating piece. Thanks for posting. 😊 Best Thomas
It's a very sporty piece too! Rubber strap, screw down crown. And for the money, it's only a few thousand dollars more than the retail price of a Rolex Submariner, which is not finished as well and they make tens of thousands of Submariners per year! Interesting value proposition.
Own two of them and i def can see myself wearing one of there red dial watches too . There amazing
in the family. IMHO you get very much watch for your money. The quality is fantastic and the design unique and avant-garde but nevertheless timeless. The brand I still underrated. If I compare it with some “standard top brands” which many run after uncritically... Your sporty model is VERY intriguing. I have to make a little walk to my AD. He has always a nice offer of Mosers in his stock. 😬
