case, lug , trap
Hi Kong ,
Open work, dial of K3 is impressive with sunburst pattern , angry face ,3D moon phase underneath skeleton dial is impressive too . The design of them are contemporary , rough and daring, they look strong and pure . The case , especially the lugs seem do not follow that spirit , they are classic design , smooth with the curve . I think the case , lugs would be made more stronger ,and rough , or other option is : case should be made very thin to create the feeling that the dial spread whole the face .
Beside that , the stronger looking trap like carbon fiber strap (or leather with carbon fiber pattern 
should be more suitable than the croco leather .
Just my thought .
Sarpaneva K3 Red Moon review and pictures
So - I promised to share some images of my new Stepan Sarpaneva Korona K3 "Red Moon" so here they are. Initial thoughts - - Love the size - a bit bigger than it appears in pictures measuring in at 44mm but nice and thin. - The box is ingenious using two s...
Magnets........?
I'm no magnetic flux maven but anyone know how much (or little) magnets in the presentation box may affect the mechanical watch movement without soft iron core protection? Scott: Nice pictures BTW. Regards, MTF This message has been edited by MTF on 2008-...
Since the use of Nivarox hairsprings ...
... practically all mechanical watches are "antimagnetic" according to the (German) industrial standard 8309: the daily deviation of a mechanical watch with a movement larger than 20mm must be under +/- 30 sec. per day, after an exposure to a magnetic fie...
Daring design
I always appreciate the moon phase of Sarpaneva K3 , the daring design , and hope that the case would be daring too
LVT, saw your previous comments about the CASE design, could you elaborate a bit?
Your previous comment " ....But the case 's design is too normal, it would not be suitable with the spirit of dial , the adjustment of case and lug would bring more effect." Thanks. Kong
Thanks for sharing SBS!
Nice pics. After looking at a side-view picture, the case looks too thin (below 10mm) for the character of the watch - the dial. At 44mm, could be thicker, and provide more depth to the dial. Interesting dial work...any closeup, SBS? The box-cover was int...
Pictures of my K3 for comparison
Congrats! Nice review. The RG moonphase is lovely. Here is her WG sibling. George...
one moon face seems reversed...
... The second from last picture above seems to show a reversed moon face (nose and lips set back, eyes forward). This is the opposite of the other moon. Is where on the watch is this moon?
I prefer this Sarpan....
The best of all the Sarpans....except the Supernova. I always think the stainless steel without the DLC makes it standout even more. And i can see an up and coming watch reaching there very soon Sarpan has proven itself with its quality and unique ideas. ...
I also like this date version ....
... while optically, I prefer the moonphase, the date version is a bit more practical. Personally, though, I would ask Stepan to add some SuperLuminova to the hands' arrowheads, this would make the watch legible at night, and also help the hands to stand ...
Diamonds Jacky? That is blasphemy! Go wash your mouth with soap...
Or at least your keyboard. Gaz
