It seems like a fair few among the WPS community have dipped a toe.
It's evident that a great deal of effort has gone into its design - from conception through build to quality assurance. The end result is a classical, aesthetic treat at an entirely accessible price. Replace the OEM strap and an already above-average piece of work improves further.
I'm indifferent to the fact that this watch runs on a mechaquartz movement. I've used the analogy elsewhere: if we visit an art gallery to take in the work of a promising newcomer, we're not going to dwell on the hooks and twining used to mount the exhibit.
The 'Mr. Grey' has been nominated in this year's GPHG 'challenge' category. My vote would go to the Ciga Design Blue Planet, but the folks behind FM have built up quite a lot of good will among learned collectors of vintage, so that may count in its favour. Either way, this is a good watch.
