Venezianico...What about this watch

Fellow Cruncher, Has anyone out there had hands on experience with this beauty ? I'm thinking of pre-ordering during this one second release.

Eclipse vibes 😎

I have no experience with the watch but I think it looks great.

Musou black dial I believe. The blackest black in the world; absorbs 99.4% of light. Saw a YouTuber paint a room with it. Very weird, could hardly see even with a light on.

I’ve had one in the past. Here are my thoughts. The build quality is typical for the price point. Sufficient, but not substantial. The dial was cool but not as mesmerizing as I thought it would be. In sunlight, a lot of light still reflected, which surprised me.

Still, I enjoyed wearing the watch. It was elegant and classy looking. My biggest gripe was the band. It was stiff and not great. It felt like really cheap leather. In fact, when I got it it creaked really loudly whenever it moved, which added to the cheap feel. Fortunately, straps are easily replaced. Also, the lug width is small for the size on the 40mm.

In summary, it’s a good piece if you don’t set your expectations too high. It felt more like a $300 piece to me. It looks good and wears comfortably. I wasn’t blown away, but it wasn’t bad. I’d give it a 6.5 or 7/10 score.

One more though.I had a sour experience with their customer service. Very eager and friendly when making the sale, but ignore you for days and days when you reach out with questions after the sale. Even after trying multiple channels. Left a bad taste in my mouth for the brand.

Thank you! Very helpful

@JaeBust has a whole collection including this one.

I can vouch for @SamwiseG and his remarks about customer service - at least during the sale. They were chasing me for the sale incessantly on WhatsApp. In my case it actually turned me off the purchase altogether. 😔 Still love the look of the watch however. There's nothing like it at that price point that I can find.

Thanks for the insight. I feel like I should love it, but it doesn't seem quite right in videos. Like the crystal isn't sleek enough and is too reflective, which ruins the effects of the dial a little. It should be ultramodern, but seems to mix in some vintage choices that don't seem to work here.

The strap and buckle also look awful, sad to say. A sleek black crocodile strap and angular buckle would really complete the look.

These aspects have kept me away from buying it, though I did consider it briefly.

It's like, how much more black could this be? And the answer is none.
