 Been waiting for this Rotary Mechanical to arrive and it came, and Im stoked!! Talk about overdelivering in a product. wow. From a finishing standpoint this thing is tops. Love the ETA 7001 movement with Geneva stripes etc. Interesting as the movement has some name printed on it but its hard to make out, anyone out there have any ideas what it is?

Also the size of the case was larger on wrist that I thought it would be which is a nice surprise as well, the strap is actually 25mm which is large for a dress watch!

Also love the actual hand guilloche dial and true furnace blued hands, the CEO of Rotary said it isnt stamped, but actually hand "True Guilloche" which is the first I own where its true guilloche and not stamped out by machine etc.

Came with 2 very well made straps, Black and brown both with their own deployants as well. Its a Limited edition of only 400 which ofcourse i like!

I am fascinated by the movement as I have never owned, not seen one before, its a screw down crown and when winding, has a very unique feel/sound to it like none other I have seen.

Ill let the pics speak for themselves. I would have paid 4 times as much and still thought I got a good deal.
