Title: Would you buy a watch not knowing what you are getting?
Post by: takashi78 on August 07, 2013, 08:05:01 PM

See the pic below.
The brand of MWF project watch maker.

It basically is just knowing the dimensions and the movement.
Knowing what strap and such you are getting.

BUT, the look and design of the watch?
No idea.

Would you?

Why?

In this case for me no. I fear uncertainty  :P
And design and look of the watch is very important aspect for me, although from history we know roughly the design "style" of the brand.

Absolutely not. Look and feel of a watch is very important to me. And with dimensions like that, it is very difficult to gauge or guess how it would look like on my wrist. No, certainly would t take a gamble like this, even if it was for very little money.

Very mysterious indeed. I have a feeling it will turn out to be a nice one. Just a hunch. I believe they must have confidence to do it this way.

For those who are game enough to go for it, pls share the pics of the watch later.  :Cheers:

No, I will never buy a watch without seeing it. For me watch is a very subjective thing, and if it's good for one, it can be total turn off for the other. Plus, they are asking quite a sum for something that could possibly be something I will not wear.

Quite a special approach to celebrate the 5th anniversary of the brand. Anyhow, just saw this thread today and the numbers of participants should have exceeded 30 long ago (no more chance to consider participating or not).   :HammerHead: :HammerHead:

I would if I really like the brand has been producing. But in the case of vintage vdb, nope.
