Proudly announce 1st MWF project watch by Vintage VDB

[chrisyen]

We are proud to present MWF is going for our very 1st official project watch for our active member

the MWF project watch has been discuss for years, we finally decided to have one for the coming Annual GTG
last annual GTG we have our official polo T done, coming annual GTG we wish we can achieve this

back ground
many members who have exposure in international watch forum is hoping to have our very own project watch here in MWF, however MWF a young watch forum in a small country with small population do not have the numbers to have a project watch at affordable cost. We been rejected by many manufacturers and we also dropped idea to work with others due to budget and confidence issues. to cut the story short, today we would like to announce, our very 1st MWF watch is confirmed and started.

The watch


Yeah ! it is a bronze case watch ! 46 mm
with a curve lug case, it should wear smaller and sit well on smaller wrist !

the diver bezel is so unique and the pvd bezel marker and crown matching the overall bronze case and bezel

Swiss eta 2824-2 will be used

watch will come with dark brown leather strap and a matching pvd buckle

15 of this to be made exclusively for MWF members

No regret. At 46mm, the watch is too big for me... and Gigi too.

Congratulations to the people who turned a dream into reality.

The watch is so unique, either you love it at first sight or you don't.

For a fat boy like me, can I ask for a long strap? (200mm in total without the buckle). Or all standard measurement straps?

Sorry for correction:
the Watch will get the normal VDB size buckle in 28mm, but the buckle that comes with the VDB Rubberstrap is 26mm
