Who cares about the technology: a TUTIMA disaster design-wise...

Where to start: the Nomos Ahoi-like crown protector? The hands' over-sized central point? The inexplicable double logo at the top? The unnecessarily thick bezel? The uninspired lugs? This watch brand (or should I say "watch brands"?) deserves scorn, rather than a comparison with LF or FPJ.

so what do we make of this? It seems like the affordable product of a one night triste of LF and FPJ. Free sprung balance, Breguet overcoil and chaton mounted jewels to boot. photo from Tutima. Rapwatch ...  

Here's one I snagged, Nico.

no inward angles, but at this price?...... Hmmm, Journe offers none when there are occasions to use more than 10 on the 1304. Lazy or a ‘different aesthetic’? Lol Rapwatch

Internal angle finish....

And the Galet square is a squashed rounded Panerai? And Journe's lugs are painful. Except, at least LF has shown some Observatory credentials in timekeeping; and as for Journe?

Interesting your view on Tutima who at least has an audited track record of quality for military supply. Rapwatch

A very nice watch, but too big for this style, IMO.

I believe its 43mm. Still good, though; but beyond my size preference for this style of watch. Cheers, John

I hear you...I just don't think it would work on the wrist (mine, at least).

But for sure it is an eye catching design and execution.

OK. I'll weigh-in.

Having looked at quite a few views on the web (unfortunately NOT in person, which can make all the difference, I realize) I just feel the seconds track is too bold, and detracts from the overall aesthetic. I look at the watch, and I don't see the time, I ...
