I will be happy to close 2019 now....:)

Sep 01, 2019,01:09 AM
 

Went to the shop wanting to check out the Freak X but went home with this πŸ‘‡πŸ» instead.....






I was ready to add the X to my collection but the decision process was incomplete without a full due diligence.  
So here comes the Freak Out...putting the 2 side by side and it becomes so......unfair to the X.
While the X sits better on my wrist with a smaller case and shorter lugs, I could not get the  o"u"ther Freak off my mind.
The X would not be a substitute as it is not.  It has its own identity and stand its own with the spaceship movement minute hand, a unique conversation piece around the table.
The Freak Out carries the tradition of the original.  It is light in titanium (colored ceramic should look good too) and the open work cruiser movement is a sight to behold.
Truly happy to be part of the Freak family.
Cheers!

Apart from JLC, probably the one other brand that I'd safely consider as a manufacture's manufacture The Freak, The Sonata, Enamel, Hourstrikers, GMTs.. etc wow the list is long! The few "blacked out" pieces that I like and this original Freak wow.

Going in for a Freak X that is a decent chunk of change for most people and then yea why not 2-5x(i dont really know) that when going out from the store with your new beauty.
