Finally it's here!
« on: June 17, 2010, 08:30:03 PM »
Hi all, Today I received a parcel from Pforzheim ,Germany.  :-* Finally, my first german & also order by parcel, it took 3 days from Pforzheim, Germany to Malaysia by FedEx.  :Dancing_banana: Arrived safe and sound.  :Cheers: Now just a little photo review. They even included a little extra surprise in the parcel... look below.

TECHNIC SPECIFICATIONS:

42MM STAINLESS STEEL CASE - PVD COATED
MECHANICAL MOVEMENT ETA 2824-2
FULLY FLUORESCENT DIAL
SOFT CALFSKIN BAND
WATERRESISTANT 50M
SAPPHIRE CRYSTAL

Here goes...

FedEX wraping gift box. :Laughing_on_floor:


Lotsa of bumpers & Bubble wrap.


Ermmm... could have been a better box.


here comes the watch...  :Dancing_banana: :Dancing_banana: :Dancing_banana: :Dancing_banana:


Sorry for the lousy pic... didnt do the watch justice... now where is my camera? :HammerHead:


see thru back casing


Swiss ETA 25 jewels... maybe some sifus out there could explain furthermore...




Really need a real camera... lume?


Saw something else at the bottom of the box...


Oh! surprise! :Laughing_on_floor:


It is very kind of them to include the suprise.

Pictures taken with E72 and poor skillz. Please forgive the shots.

I am very excited to share the watch, after waiting for 3 weeks, and finally it's here. I am happy with the feel of the watch and it feels right on my wrist. So, now I am charged up, to make another German piece... by mail... Lolz :shocked1: :Startled: :angel:

Thanks Defakto, especially Manuel who patiently answered all my questions thru emails.

I went thru their website. I think it's a brilliant concept of telling time! Shouldn't worry if a watch is slow/fast by x no of minutes a day, etc. :thumbsup:
Now it makes me appreciate the watch even more.

Great pickup!
Always nice to see ppl buy from smaller or independent companies.
Its a true minimalist watch.

Cool single arm watch. The time in the lume shot is somewhere between 4:30 and 4:45. Each index mark between the hour index is 15 minutes.

This is unique and novel concept. Single-hand watch is good as long as you don't require precision time measurement.
