anOrdain Model 1 Fabrik GMT

It finally arrived! I have been following anOrdain for a while and jumped at the chance to get their first watch with a complication when they offered it.

To be honest I started having second thoughts about the purple, but it's subtle enough to make it classy.

Lug to lug: 46mm

Depth: 11mm

Case: Polished 316L Steel with brushed case back

Movement: ETA 2893-2

It also comes with a leather carrying case.

Very cool! Great addition to the collection!

That is so cool! I generally love purple dials, and that dial is gorgeous. When I saw the picture I literally said “holy shit” out loud. Enjoy it.

Beautiful watch, own the uniqueness with pride my friend!

·

Purple isn't for me, but this really would be an exception. Classy.

Thanks! Yes, its an office GMT using the small hand by the 16 in the picture.

That’s a unique conversation starter for sure. Not too many purple dials out there.

·

That dial 😳! Super sharp!

Nice to see something unique and unusual (and beautiful) on here today.

Thanks! Yeah, they are something special. Great buying experience (outside of the 2 month wait). I highly recommend.

I regret not getting to the list when I was there. I’d have one on my wrist by now. I wasn’t sure about the 38mm. It felt and looked a little small on my 8.5” wrist. If they come out with a 40mm or 42mm. I’ll be there.

Congrats...beautiful watch. Love the purple.

I have to say, I was a non-purple guy until I saw this one from Fears...

Thanks! Same here, this is my first purple watch and even second guessed myself after the purchase, but that all went away once I saw it in person. That Fears is a beauty as well!

@tempo365 do you know if purchasing the Model 1 Fabrik puts you on the list for one of their enamel dial watches?

@project880 I don't think so. In my case, I'm on the list for an enamel and they offered early purchase of the Fabrik.

Thanks, guess it’s back to the waiting game for me

How has your Fabrik been keeping time? I’ve been quite pleased with mine. It’s usually only about a second slow per day, but over the last few days, I haven’t had to touch it.

·

I came oh so close to pulling the trigger on this watch when I drooled over it on the anOrdain website. But then I decided to cheap out and order the blue dial fabrik, because anOrdain lets a person purchase only one model in a series. If they would take my word that I would never flip, shouldn't they give me a shot at this GMT too? AnOrdain, are you listening?

Same here, I haven't had any issues.

Lol, it would be nice but my guess it is a way for them to control their backlog. I'm still infatuated with mine but that blue dial is really nice as well. In yhe meantime I'm patiently waiting for my Model 1 build slot to come up ;-)
