Always liked David Walter's clocks for their technical nature, so I am glad to see he finally made an attempt on watches.
Couple of observations.
1) Dial doesn't look very clean. Areas of brown stains or oxidation, especially the area around the edges of the name plaque.
2) Movement clearly handmade. But handmade should still be neat. The edges of the W shaped bridge has some "wobble", I think improvements can be made here to make sure lines remain straight.
3) Movement definitely not Unitas as a poster has mentioned. The size of the movement is wrong for one. And the stud holder looks like those found on Omega 266.
4) The straight graining finish for all 3 cocks and bridges are not in the same direction, which makes it messy visually.
5) Not sure how I feel about the oversized jewels in relation to the movement. It reminds me of the oversized blue screws FP Journe used on his Historique Tourbillon T30. Right now it feels whimsy to me, and I mean it in a positive way.
6) Not all the rounded top screws are blued. And the screw slots of the two flat head screws look chewed up.
I think improvements can be made and I have seen how some indis make a difference to a watch a few months down the road.
