This design doesn't really do anything for me personally, and as other's have already stated...when I first read about this one from the owner, it definitely smacked of Olivier/Tempest. The Makara owner (over on another forum) did mention that this is not his first watch project, and that he's produced a couple prior to this so take that for what it is worth (I don't have any insight or experience with any of those). Best to do more due diligence if you are seriously considering this one IMO.

As Will pointed out, the Crown design is not consistent between the front and side view renderings (the stepped case shown in the front view is also not consistently rendered in the side view), so I guess the renderings need some work.

At the price point being asked, I suspect that you are not really getting Bronze, but some Brass formulation (and I personally prefer the patina of Bronze to the corrosion of Brass).

I wish Mr. Makara the best with this offering...and most of all, I hope that he can deliver to his customers everything that he is promising.
