Hmmm, the really "modern" look is unusual but it seems like they tried too hard to be original/different, forgetting some practical thing: The crown look uncomfortable on the wrist...
Seems like a cheap welded nut&pipe in brass: Too sharp angles to pretend any long wearing comfort in my opinion.
The bezel screw is too simple: Look like a welding-manometer release valve(Argon regulator): There's other ways to be industrial than to go for the little mechanic tools around in my meaning.
For ex.: A case shaped like a 1" thread steel nut used on flenges ,would have been better if they wanted to make something like that...? And still rounder on edges.
I like raw industrial steel and the laser scars don't disturb me on the case... I would personally cut it with water-jet to avoid heating on surface who can modifie and weaken the structure of the alloy in contact with elements...
Also the strap-lugs look way too weak compare to the rest: Remember me of some women's models...Let's be raw or not please...
Ok, good lume! Well the markers's shape,dial .hands and colors seems like a Buzz-lightyear watch to me...
The "industrial" futuristic toy isn't for me: Sorry to be so hard on it! Angular Momentum is a great company who is innovating a lot compare to other usual trades and I respect them for that but did they consult anybody from the
mechanical industry to make this model? I doubt...
I will not speak of the price: I'm too shocked.
This is the grumpy opinion of a Pipefitter from the oil industry...Don't take it too hard
