I don't know what you are talking about, that orange paint is worthy of Vacheron's finest enamelists!

I still like it “old-school” 😉 Like fine wine, gets better as they age 👍

So I showed my wife some watches last night, she said this watch was okay, but it needed some orange on it or something.
How about something like this?!

Or a little brighter

Not bad, though I think I'd want more than just the hand. Hubert's is closer, or maybe you could go with something kind of like the Orange Boy Autavia, with some accents on the minutes subdial and hands.

I was gonna do a mockup, but I realized we'd most likely end up with something a little too close to the existing 160 panda,

Side note: Did you guys realize that on the product page on the site (at least in the US), you can click on the start/stop and reset pushers to operate the chronograph? Very cute touch 😜

^ Yes, they did a good revamp of the website to illustrate the watches in motion.

Have they fixed the Bamford Aquaracer Calibre 5 yet? It was ticking, then it stopped altogether...

That's pretty good, although I kinda like the orange hand against the silver dial.

Your design would look great on the blue leather rally strap of the inspirational watch 👍

Whith these last Carrera photoshop customizations we are seeing in our forum (changing dial colors, removing second hands...), is that perhaps we are getting closer to Bamford’s philosophy? 😁

It would be amazing to have a collection designed by our Calibre11 community. LVMH should be investing in this community!

I'm halfway considering reaching out to Bamford and asking if they could customize watches like these, to remove the running seconds. Or to remove the date & cyclops from Aquaracers etc.

Keep me in the loop because I'm down as well.

If there were a regular-production TAG that I liked enough to spend 2x MSRP on having Bamford customize it, I might! But there isn't anything out there I want... yet

The Ti Aquaracer is very cool but I wouldn't want to mess up a LE, maybe if they had some extra cases lying around though!

Just spotted on a tag H facebook group. Can’t see the 160 on the official EJ website, but it may pop up. Worth keeping an eye if legit. A bargain for someone!
