From my side, as I ever said, those price for a 2824-2 ETA inside are too high. It is my personnal opinion that for this price range, I want an inhouse. Well: Most of 2824-2 in good watches got the Incabloc. Nothing SO damn special there... Kobold got this soft iron housing: For anti-magnetism as I understand it. Seriously, I live in the Arctic: 68.5 grades North. I worked 3 winters at 70.4 grades norths and had much of -35 dg C there: When it's as cold as that, you cover yourself enough ,your watch is protected and your wrist warm it anyway: Never heard of a guy who had his mechanic watch freezing since he had it on it's wrist. I've made the experience with a Tissot T-touch in titanium puted on a steel bench outside, who took half hour to go from hand temperature to -5 dg C. So a watch is far to freez at once even it's cold outside. The anti-magnetic??? When I'm outside in the wind at -35 , I don't need it or I should hang around magnetic fields who would even be bad for my health(high tension convertors for exemple)...No polar expedition there: You're a high-tension pole worker in the arctic maybe...??? Get yourself a Rolex Millegausse if you really need a watch for that job. I tell you what: A simple good 2824-2 ETA incabloc is good on your hand even you hang outside in -50 gr C like it can be sometimes in the plains up here. You don't need a Kobold for that: A good Marathon SAR will do it as good. If your watch have to freez, it will anyway. To conclude: Yes I believe that you will find those feratures in the Kobold but you can visit the Arctic in winter with another good automatic watch without experiencing troubles... I will make soon a test actualy! I will let one of my watches: Maybe my SAR to have a night alone outside in -15 dg C and we will see what happen! Matter of weeks before I do that Last edited on Sun Jan 17th, 2010 10:09 pm by Hammerfjord |

I'm with Will on this, I like Kobold design and I'm sure all their watches are great timepieces but I think it's an over priced brand. I would doubt that they would survived not saying the truth about their specs. Not only it would be a shame but it would probably drastically affect their share of market and kill all the good things that the brand was built on. So I would say yes, it has to be true and have no doubt about it. Just think that even with all these specs, the asking price is way too high, just my humble opinion.:D We'll see soon i guess...
