Erebus Origin review

My Erebus Origin. First I must commend Erebus for their excellent customer care. I received the watch in teal color in error. It was actually mostly my fault. I ordered the teal version and changed the order to white the next day. Unfortunately, I still received the teal. I contacted the company and they replaced it with the right version at no charge. They sent me a pre-paid return label and re shipped it all in about 12 days. Considering it shipped from Sidney to the U.S. , that’s excellent. Now to the watch. The measurements were spot on a described. 41mm case, 47 lug to lug, 20mm lug with, and 12.5mm thick…perfect on my 7.5 in wrist. The white dial is textured and has a slightly silvery sheen to it. The orange highlights on the seconds hands, on the 10s , and on the “20 ATM” text , along with the color matching date at the 6 completes this striking, perfectly balanced dial. The bezel is a very nice grayish/ black ceramic which complements the dial beautifully. The case and bracelet are both nicely brushed and look and feel more expensive than they are. I selected the curved link bracelet. There is also a flat link available if you prefer. The extra strap package comes with and excellent FMK , a silicone , and single pass nato style straps. The quick release spring bars make strap swaps very easy. You also get loose QR spring bars to use with nato straps. This is a nice touch that shows the whole package was well thought out. The venerable NH 35 isn’t sexy but it keeps great time to the tune of about +4 seconds a day. One complaint, and not a small one at that, was with the inner edges of the bracelet, which were a bit sharp and irritating. I took an cheap fingernail buffer block to it on the 3rd level grit and then finished it off with the second grit and it cured the issue after about 5 minutes . Visually I don’t notice anything was done. None of the reviewers mentioned it this issue, so I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt and chalk it up to a QC miss. Overall I love this watch and find myself reaching for it in my watch box often. I experimented with an orange tropic strap and also a light grey Perlon and both look fantastic. No regrets!!!
