Looks fire, enjoy in good health!

You should have seen the guy that got it like two days after it was announced. I just ordered mine and it was with DHL within a couple days and in my hands a day after that 🙂

Beyond just "don't," my advice would be to look at your collection and try to identify any actual gaps that you have actually been looking to fill for some time and then maybe use this opportunity to fill them. For example, I got the Christopher Ward Twelve because I've wanted a good integrated-bracelet steel sports watch for a while, somewhere between the PRX and a Zenith Defy. The Twelve was exactly that (I had a Frederique Constante Highline that also hit that niche but which I sold for overhanging my wrist), so it made sense to buy it, and I didn't consider it an impulsive purchase even though I bought it right as it came out.

The same could be the case for other types of watches that you've been looking for for a while. For example, maybe you've had a longtime hankering for a "true" GMT, or a compressor, or a monopusher chrono, or whatever, and so getting one now both scratches an itch but fulfills a longer-term vision for your collection. Whereas if you don't really have anything you've been looking for and you just buy another watch exclusively for the little dopamine hit, it's probably not worth it.

Yeah I know that it's within spec and it really isn't running horribly but I'm a bit neurotic about these things. I guess the point about the warranty does make a lot of sense though... it's just going to annoy me to think that I could get it running within COSC if I could just go in and tinker a bit.

The marketing copy definitely makes it sound like the screws are functional

Of course the lack of any technical information whatsoever makes it a little suspect

You know what… I don’t hate it? It kind of subverts the whole cheap homage thing because obviously no one is going to mistake it for a real Rollie and you’re not trying to front that. I kind of dig it actually
