Already ordered one! 🤣
not my cup of tea
...the movement is very beautiful but, the design of the face... it's not really balanced!
I'm a bit concerned with what they've done with the movement to be honest. Just removing the rotor doesn't really make it a proper manually winding movement. From what I understand the manual winding in an automatic movement is supposed to be used occasionally to get the watch up & running & using it everyday can result in failures. The winding in manually wound movements is heavier duty with wheels with bigger teeth so they don't strip out from regular use.

glad somebody thought the same, quite ugly really
I am an avid fan of both Marc and TGV. Having said that, I will not be buying the Rangemaster Mechanical. Field watches like this are so plentiful and few are quite as expensive as The Islander version. I don't like the strap and the movement is a tremendous concern for me. The Miyota is a noisy movement to begin with and I think it was a poor choice.
