Watch enthusiasts are fickle…
…the complaint was that it was too expensive (at $3K) and it didn’t use a Zenith movement like the original (as if that could have even been possible).

Looks pretty good!
Reminds me of one of my very first automatics, a Tissot Quadrato from like 2005! I’ll have to check out RW’s offering , to compare
A nice Santos homage…
…but this C-case re-edition of their 1970 El Primero Datron mines their own library and should have been a home run, but wasn’t. ETA 2894, of course. But there’s nothing wrong with that. I will need to seek out the Santos lookalike—very nice and I don’t t...
Very nicely executed… interesting that it wasn’t well received.
I’m very interested to see the Santos version if you can find it.
