I like it. Could do without the verbiage on the lower half.
Re: First new watch purchase in a long time!
I'm curious about the in-house movement. Did Sjoo Sandstrom develop it from scratch, or is it based on an existing calibre?

Seems like a solid choice, but I don't know that I'd call it "in house".
Re: First new watch purchase in a long time!
Beautiful watch, or watches Todd !!
I'm going to wish you a SPECTACULAR Sjoo Sandstrom congrats ahead of time !!!
Am thinking the white would be incredible in person as well. Because it looks
really incredible just in the pic here. Not only is it overall a classic look, but it
IS different too honestly. Being nice, and sleek, but somehow full of attitude,
and stealthily bold. Even the touch of green on the GMT hand is subtle, as well
as just plain cool.
The in-house movement is yet another highlight on a watch that seems to be
one continuous highlight sir.

It’s another in a long line of brands that lie to us to make something seem superior, when it’s not.tattoo chef wrote:Selym wrote:I'm curious about the in-house movement. Did Sjoo Sandstrom develop it from scratch, or is it based on an existing calibre?

This is not to shit on Todd’s new purchase or the movement, but I review watches and I call out things like this when I see it. Many brands like to use the term “in house” or manufactured movement”, as I guess many do not care or just will believe what is written without doing research.

I like. I'm not sure I 2,340 Euro like it, but its still cool.
The blue and grey dial variants are pretty good looking too, although it looks like the grey is only available in 36mm.

Looks good without being too derivative.

Definitely my kind of watch, I really like both the white & the black versions. Looking forward to seeing wrist shots when you get it.

Re: First new watch purchase in a long time!
Those are both great-looking watches. For my girly wrist, the 36 would be the closest (38 perfect).
