Seen this on the reptime sub and realised that gen owners have the same fear of water.

I posted here a few months ago asking for feedback on Montera. 120,000 views and hundreds of honest responses later - you told me we needed a stronger USP.

You were right.

So here’s what we built.

The Montera Bluewater Collection GMT. Mediterranean inspired. Seiko NH34 movement. Custom shark engraved caseback.

£300. Limited to 100 pieces. Pre-order live now.

Here’s everything about it - ask me anything:

•	40mm 316L stainless steel case  
•	Seiko NH34 automatic GMT  
•	Sapphire crystal  
•	Textured meteorite-style dial  
•	Applied indices  
•	Date at 3 o’clock  
•	Blue and cream 24 hour GMT bezel  
•	Fully brushed oyster bracelet with micro-adjustable clasp  
•	Custom shark engraved caseback - Bluewater Collection GMT Series  
•	Light blue rubber strap included  
•	100m water resistance  
•	48mm lug to lug - wears comfortably on most wrist sizes  
•	12mm thickness  
•	First batch of 50 ships June 15th  
•	Second batch of 50 ships July 15th

I’m a student building this brand in real time. This community helped shape what Montera became. It felt right to launch here first.

Thanks!

Managed to pick up, time to turn a profit ;)

The AP name is doing a lot of heavy lifting for the £335 price tag.
A Casio G-shock with a metal case and solar power is £230.

Paid retail ($345.00) at local jewelry store. Didn’t notice until I got home that there was a smudge on the dial; looked like grease/oil. The watchmaker said he could fix, so I left the watch. Picked it up the next day, and again I couldn’t see it at the store, but as soon as I inspected closely in bright light, I saw where he had buffed it out.

I want to stress that no one will ever notice this (except me), and that I can’t really see it while the watch is on my wrist. Took me several tries to get a pic where it showed up.

I feel like this shouldn’t bother me, but it does, a little.

Would you live with this?

I just got this Bertucci A-7TS, and I’ve noticed a crosshair pattern on the dial. There are two perfectly straight and perpendicular lines that look like faint shadows, but are only visible in just the right light. In this photo, you should be able to see the line that runs between the 10 marker and the 4 marker (through the date window); there’s another between the 1 and the 7 markers, which isn’t visible in the photo.

Anyone see this before, or who can explain why it might be there? I’m wondering whether I should return it.

Charlie Brown just showed up. The strap, the Indiglo, the throwback dial with that killer typeset …it just awesomely fun. Love my new Timex.

Then the new sub-shield is the product for you!
