...I am sure you are aware you are not the only one producing a watch with lumed ceramic bezels,high WR cases,or killer designs,and that most knowledgeable WIS know these components are readily available and offered by the manufacturers that are being used by the micro brands.
...so my question is,what is your experience with watches,and what sets Tempest apart from all the other micro brands?



Oscar, yes your right that I'm not the only one producing a watch with lumed ceramic bezel, high WR case, or killer designs but can you name another watch that is doing all three together?
OK Ben, I'll play,just off the top of my head...Benarus did the 3 in the Remora last year(ceramic lume dial and bezel)...OWC 5517 Milsub...even Deep Blue did a ceramic lume bezel,WR and many considered all of these killer designs,since they all sold out...the list goes on...even rouhlena and helenarhou on the Bay are offering their replica cased designs with ceramic lumed bezels,at a fraction of your price...Benarus and Helson are also offering sapphire lumed bezels so once again you are not doing anything new,that we have not seen.
,...now please answer my question>What is your experience with watches?



Oscar, Deep Blue does have a ceramic bezel but its not lumed. The other, really depends what you consider high WR cases...The ones you mentioned have have a maximum of 500M WR. Anyways this point is not important.

To answer your question about my experience with watches I have been an avid collector for many years. With my partners years of combined experince in collecting, design and watchmaking.
you're right Ben,it's not important,but it seemed to be important to you...maybe you can share some pics of your collection,and what watches your partners or you have produced in the past...these would be good things to know,and can only be a positive towards your success with Tempest Watch imo.
...especially in a market that is being flooded by micro brands, all looking to the forums, in order to sell their wares...in todays market it is as important to review the owner/owners of a micro as it is the watch,and that is only if the reviewer is truly unbiased and is not motivated by a free watch.
