Amazing to look at but not sure I`d ever want to own one, even if I could afford it 😂

It wouldn’t be your only watch for sure

Good call!😂
I like what they are doing, but will need more time for reliability. Their Joker collab is great, but do I want to drop $9k on a watch that potentially no one can service?

That’s what holds me back from seriously considering watches like this one and the Ciga Blue Planet. They’re neat watches and blow the claim that all Chinese watches are poor quality out of the water, but what happens in a few years when you need to service it? It’s not just Chinese watches, either. Take Bulova. They’re still alive and kicking, but even with the kind of heritage they have it’s hard to find anyone who can service a vintage Spaceview.

I've heard they have a large service team eager and ready to help.
I’ve been eyeing the behrens navigraph, only thing holding me back is the service and also the price point… so many cool watches not enough money lol.
$2.5k on a Behrens navigraph vs $2.5k for a used tudor gmt or pro….
Wait til a few thousand are out there in the field via reviews. My position on Chinese watches is that I would prefer a casio ,seiko, ETA , Selita , Kinesi , Omega , Lamania , Rolex , Springdrive in that order roughly . Porsche or Lada ? Which would you drive ? Watches to me are the same . Buy the best you can afford. A Casio over any Chinese watch to my mind is a no brainer . ( Opinion )
No thanks. It's not my taste at all. But mainly it's Chinese ( CCP) so that's a hard No!
Supporting the CCP isn’t part of my modus operandi . I am ethically opposed to spending a single satoshi on anything from mainland China 🇨🇳. If it’s from Taiwan 🇹🇼 I will reserve the above ethical stance for mainland China only .

That’s fine, but let’s talk watches not politics.

True, so much to choose from
Rare complications
But not for me

Fair point , but you can’t ignore fealties & loyalties , we are after all flawed human beings:)

Yes, it influences the buying decision, but the watch can be cool regardless
