Just got this one in on Friday. What a great watch. Quality is top-notch and it looks fantastic. This is my second Ginault - also have the Expeditioner with the blue dial. If you’re on the fence about giving Ginault a go, I’d say you won’t regret it!
I have been wholly disappointed in my Fears Brunswick. Flaw after flaw. The dial has more than 5 specks of dust on it (5 & 7 are covered), the bezel is off center and the bracelet is trash. Specifically, the flower engraving in the clasp seems to done with a fork. It's SOO ROUGH and one side is only half filled with paint.
Fears has no business charging 3+k much less 30k for watches... I mean, the bezel being off center of the real 'wtf did I just buy' flaw...

Anyone attend any of the WindUp shows this year (Dallas, Chicago)? I am going to NYC and it is my first time, I am wondering what to expect. Do most of the brands sell from their booths? How long is the line to get in -- do I need to arrive before the opening time to avoid a long wait?
Been eyeing this for a while now and my gf surprises me this morning with it !
A few months ago I shared the first concept of KEEL here. Now the first physical prototypes are finally here.
KEEL is inspired by my day job in shipbuilding, and this prototype was photographed right where the idea came from.
The grid on the dial was inspired by the structural layout of ship construction, while the NB001 marking comes from the build-number markings we use in shipyards.
Really curious to hear your first impressions now that it’s a real watch.
I recently posted the day my Lorier Neptune landed (4 days ago), where my expectations were completely exceeded.
A few days later, and I’m even more thrilled. This thing is just so frickin beautiful. I love it. Averaging +4spd, I’ve not been able to wear anything else in my collection, and that is a rarity as I rotate pretty much every day, even after picking up new pieces the most I’ve spent is a couple of days!
I’m thinking about trying it out some nice leathers soon, but for now the bracelet is comfy, no hair pulling (and I have lots) and it fits the style of the watch superbly.
I love the hands and markers, they look so different in varying conditions, hopefully you can see this in the pictures.
Yes, you can get more for your money, and I have lots of great microbrands, swiss and Chinese, but when a watch looks this damn good I couldn’t give a shit. That’s the price we pay sometimes.
Meteorite dial, aventurine chapter ring, hardened stainless steel, 200m WR on a triple calendar
The domed hesalite crystal was the correct decision imo
With the release of the new 39mm dive-style case of the Trident Biscay, which fits great on my 7.1" wrist, I’ve decided this would be my perfect Christopher Ward.
I've started a bespoke order request with CW, so let me know if you're interested. I'm imagining around $2k. I've already posted in r/ChristopherWard and received a decent amount of interest, so sharing here as well.
If we reach 25 people, I'll also open a Form so we can vote on some of the specifics, like adding a date window.

I use to like 41mm watches and still I like this 35mm Kuoe Old Smith. Hope you’re all having a nice Sunday :)
It's their "Teleport" feature. Reminds me of StumbleUpon 🥲
As if I didn't already spend too much time on that site lol I love this hobby so much
Hiya,
Has anybody found any brands doing something similar to this style watch?
TIA
