I didn’t end up getting one but I liked the simplicity of the cream dialed Bourbon. And I appreciated the honesty and earnestness of the designer’s / owner’s pitch. The look was good and the price was right. If I had an open slot in my collection, I think I would have pulled the trigger but I went into the event looking for a Worldtimer.
The price was definitely an outlier compared to most of the watches at this event. That said, I think it's probably a justified price considering what you're getting. While I appreciate the look and the obvious artisanship, I wasn't ready to spend that much on a watch that might not see a whole lot of wrist time based on the design. Still, I'll definitely be checking back to see what Eugene is up to next!
Thanks for the input and ideas, everyone. The Omega AT WTs definitely seem a representatively popular choice. For me, I like them fine, but I've always liked the clean look of the 3-handed ATs more, so the WTs are probably not for me.
I really want to pull the trigger on one of the Farers, but I think I am going to hold out until next weekend's District Time Watch Show. If I don't see a WT there that captures my fancy, I may have to pull the trigger on a Farer.
