My name is Rich and I am building a collection of unique complications. I know it sounds more like the way you start a watch museum and not a personal collection. So far I have a Tourbillion, Retrograde, a GMT, Moon Phase and a Spring Drive. I am looking to acquire a chronometer, a world timer, a minute repeater and my holy grail is a chain fusse.
I enjoy fun watches and conversation starters which is why I have a breathtaking Royal CasiOak which looks similar to an AP watch which costs $74,800.00 more than mine. I am a believer that fashion watches have a place in this world. Fashion brands have nothing to lose when taking a risk on a new shape or style. They can design outside the box unlike Rolex who changes the dial color or makes a left handed watch because they are afraid of failure. I just wish fashion brands wouldn't use junk movements and price them as if they hadn't.

Great friend but it is ashame that he gifted you such an ugly watch. Why would Tudor make a dress watch and then use the utilitarian hands and indices from a dive watch?
The reflection photography looks great. Another standard diver does nothing for me. I hope you sell enough so I can see what's next.
No paint. Use the light on your phone to light up the dial if you must look at it in the dark.
Tritium is no good for your health which is why you see it encapsulated often when it is used today.
I last saw Richard from Studio Underd0g at the Wind Up Watch Fair in NYC in 2022. He said he had not yet asked Sea-Gull about that movement.
