Oh! surprise! :Laughing_on_floor:
(http://i989.photobucket.com/albums/af18/spoiltcheese/Defakto/17062010316.jpg)

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.

Nice catch. Congrats.  :thumbsup:
The candy at the bottom of the parcel is a nice touch.

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.

Title: Re: Finally it's here!
Post by: takashi78 on January 24, 2011, 05:53:44 AM

Read the entire thread.
Its a one hand watch.

Title: Re: Finally it's here!
Post by: bacardi151 on January 24, 2011, 01:45:24 PM

great watch you got there.

took me a minute to understand the concept of a single-handed watch.

good stuff.

now, where is that wrist shot yo?!?

 :thumbsup:

Title: Re: Finally it's here!
Post by: Kevlarr on January 24, 2011, 01:47:17 PM

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

Actually single hand watches are not new.
Meistersinger had a single hand watch as far back as early 2000. Also German but using either 2824 or 6497 depending on Auto/HW and size of case..

very simple dial & nice single hand watch.

abit out of topic, i see many forumers here actually buy their watch online, eg. Steinhart, Defakto etc. do you guys get tax when it reaches our shore? or is there any other hidden cost that we need to look out for?

Congrats and continue to wear it in good health. I like the idea that they actually included a small surprise. Their "old newspaper" if used as packaging can be possibly refreshing too  ;)
