@flythe did you find the add on bracelet worth it? I’m considering one, but it’s 170$ for the specific one that fits this case

Very cool. Welcome.

I just picked up a Farer for the first time as well!

Update:

So I reached out to the seller and… nothing for like 48hrs. Then I went ahead and gave him a negative review. I kid you not, within like 2hrs he had sent me three messages explaining, offering the watch back to me, and pleading to change the feedback.

According to him someone else messaged him with a similar username asking to ship to a different address so he just canceled everything. I ultimately caught him some slack since I know what it’s like to be seller and when you feel a scam you just want to cut off all ties. And I did get my money back right away, so I amended my review but didn’t take up to offer to buy the watch. Life’s too short…and i figure that could have been me. #grace

…now for the good news. I was inspired by some the comments here and started looking more earnestly for an Omega AT pre owned. They still are like 3K minimum. Though there are some interesting quartz options. But I really wanted something nice, you know, to go big (at leader bigger than I ever have for a watch), in commemoration of this personal milestone.

Soooo I pulled the trigger on another micro-brand watch instead, the #Farer World Timer. It’s totally different style of watch but I dig the complications and find it actually useful for my work. Plus I also got it for well under retail. I especially love the decoration on the movement and the rotating globe on the dial. Here’s a terrific review of the newest model: https://youtu.be/_zTqXhb6tWs?feature=shared

Unfortunately, gonna be 45 days till i get to wear it, since i shipped back to the US… but I’m psyched!

Thanks to all for helping me process that momentary loss. I’m back stronger and more enthused about the hobby

Interesting … I’m definitely not that bold. do they name the movement inside? It looks a lot like the seagull 1963 from the picture and that one also only goes to 30min?

Really, I love the teak dial patter, ima sucker for a textured dial, but haven’t seen any of those for less than 4000 pre-owned. Although there is a vertical striped one from like 2017

Yea, same…I actually live in Thailand so got to go to the HQ and they were very welcoming. Got a chance to handle some of the new models coming out…the gmt in particular.

But as for this model the ad7 each time I see i think of the #omegaaquaterra. Its very stylish yet sporty but i wish it had more textured dial variants to lean more the sport way.

The folded steel case material is something that I think you either love or don’t, so I for one am stoked that they have come out with just “plain” 904l steel options.
