Love the spare parts kit - great idea for a watch that is to last a lifetime.

Thanks [mention]WPybus[/mention]! Lots of options 
[mention]watchpalooza[/mention] - I agree. Appears to be quite a thoughtful campaign.

I was really keen on getting in but unfortunately that crown-lock bezel system is a big deal-breaker for me. I'll have to see what collaboration piece they have with Waltham lined up in January.

The sign up link: https://watchangels.us17.list-manage.co ... ffdb792d37
Their tagline is quite cringe-worthy though.

Yeah. I was going to post, but didn't want to get political. Especially ironic given the .ch domain name.pdsf wrote:Ha, yes, I saw that, too. I had to do a double take.ManOnTime wrote: ↑Sat Dec 26, 2020 9:08 amThat looks pretty interesting.pdsf wrote: ↑Sat Dec 26, 2020 6:00 am

Isn’t the domain .ch Switzerland....!?
I wasn’t aware of any international geopolitics relating to the Swiss at the moment, their navy is a bit rubbish though

Prices are up for the Cedric Bellon add ons, kinda pricey but definitely shows that the Watch will be top quality;
Sandblasted dial: 199 chf
Extra strap: 129 chf excluding buckle (35 chf I think)
Spare parts kit 69 chf
Lume change 199 chf
So basically changing the lume, getting a sandblasted dial and a spare parts kit is about the same as the angels price for the PO24!!

I think it's the idea of using a domain of a neutral/foreign entity while talking about "The biggest American story" and using an arguably politically suggestive slogan.
(Not going to get into politics here, obviously)

You're right. I think you can easily get leather straps of comparable quality for a lower price though.WPybus wrote: ↑Sun Dec 27, 2020 5:36 am Prices are up for the Cedric Bellon add ons, kinda pricey but definitely shows that the Watch will be top quality;

The blue lume would look quite good!

17% of these remaining, after they have gone they will not be making any more.
I’ve been speaking, via email, to them and they can personalise the watch- I liked the idea of having the two screws on the dial in blue, I’m still tempted and it will be the only one like that.... any thoughts!?

Howdy, not sure I am the best person to comment on this because I am incredibly monotonic in my color preferences so I prefer the original design but that's just me and you're absolutely right - it'd make it very unique. Oh, maybe a dark navy leather strap would go quite well with it!?WPybus wrote: ↑Fri Jan 08, 2021 6:05 am 17% of these remaining, after they have gone they will not be making any more.

Yeh I hear what you are saying, I’ll probably give it a miss anyway as it’s $75 for 4 screws and I’ve just blown my budget on the CW sale!! Only 8% of these left....
The next watch, the Waltham,is due for angel release on the 1st of feb.
