Between the sinn and alpi, alpi, they'll improve the model over the years since it will be a permanent model for Seiko.

For a ubiquitous hands, it is the cathedral for me, could go to pilot, field, dress and pocket watches.

The date wheel is also instantaneous, but back and forth complicate things, must be a unique module or even movement then. Congrats on not only a beauty, but also unique movement.

The bracket statement is the problem, the material and finishing cost more than the bygone era. And those watches were not cheap either if you use gold valuation, not inflation.

Interesting, they swap the date wheel with the hour marker and change the wheel change from 24 hour to 12.

That one is a knock off of corum bridge movement, there is no skeletonization in that, they just pack and stack all the gears together, the posted watch is customize skeletonization work perhaps with the finishing to complement. Chinese has their own well respected brand as seagull and beijing watch with their own derivative of ubiquitous european watch movement. Still great they manage to get the bridge movement together and working.

Waste of money, wood + sweat = rot and stain. Better in writting instrument, at least you won't hold your pen as long as you wear your watch.
