Karlskrona Hemlig LE Pass Around -UPDATE Round 2

Post by Bradystraps » Wed Mar 10, 2021 10:44 am

Hi guys,
I have the prototype of the Hemlig LE (render below) in process and would like to throw out the offer to conduct a pass-around here between members. Many of you have reached out and expressed interest in this watch so it would give you a chance to handle and test it.

I am thinking 3 days per member and then pass it on to the next. I would assist with the logistics and order of who passes on to who.

Please reply here if you are interested. If I have enough interest, I will make it happen.

Regards,
Todd

It doesn't use numbers or moving hands
It always just says now
Now you may be thinking that I was had
But this watch is never wrong

I've got the original, but I'd be happy to do a comparison for those interested. Heck, I'll even take it surfing if you'd like to have a practical evaluation of water resistance!

Hey guys,
Wanted to update you on this project. Now that many Covid restrictions have loosened, I am able to move full steam ahead. I am hoping to have the prototype in my hands by mid to late August. I will update this thread with pictures, specs, etc. as warranted.

Regards,
Todd

The first wave of pass-arounds is complete and I want to thank all that participated. The reviews were great and i am so glad everyone enjoyed the watch. I would be willing to do another round and would especially like if someone could compare against the Benrus Type 1 Reissue, with the price points considered ($495 vs. $1,695).

Let me know if anyone wants in. :cheers:
