I'll have to take a pass on this one. At first look, it looked interesting. But then as I studied it more, I did not like where the crown was placed. And it just seemed to simplistic to me. Just my 2-cents.

An interesting collaboration between Gevril and Omega to make this GV2 hand cranker. I am thinking about it. It's a limited edition of 500 and rather cool yet simple for a bridge movement. It has the Omega 1070 Movement inside there. Winds from the 12 O'clock position. I may wait for the shows live shots to decide one way or the other myself though. ;)

I was seriously considering this one earlier today, but the "decorative" gear design on the front killed it for me. Kinda cool, but then again, sort of pretending to be something it really isn't. Probably STILL a good buy, though...

I like the watch and it is a nice homage to the Corum Golden Bridges but ends there for me.....I doubt there was any collaboration between Omega and Gevril and that GV2 just picked up some old Omega mechanicals that were used in womens watches years ago and are a much lower price alternative than building a very expensive narrow train movement as used in the Corumhand6.gif

As all here know..."skeleton" watches, of any type, simply leave me cold. While I do enjoy a beautifully done movement, I prefer to look at it from the underside of the watch....give me "solid" dials...and keep the skeletons in their closet! :D

It sounds like mostly everyone is on the same page like me, interesting but probably not "your cup of tea"
