I bet you would.
I started a post about it about three years ago and never finished it, maybe I should resurrect it.
I like it. It's the only watch I've ever liked fauxtina on, mainly because the white on the regular version is so white it hurts my eyes.

·I really like this version of the Pelagos, LHD, red & black date, red text, all make for an interesting watch with character.

I'm not fussed about the silly red black date if I'm honest

·I might be going a bit crazy over this piece. "Repaired" this by separating the hair-fine gold wires on the PCB - previously only showing on half the display (wish I'd taken a picture while it was open). Probably going to get it the case re-plated and polish the acrylic.
Here's what I'd probably end up with:

·Not a brand I know much about, only that they keep changing their logo and have great summer sales. But I do think this is rather cool & a pointless complication, but still cool nevertheless.

·They've been doing some pretty cool stuff, this is particularly awesome. I'd definitely be buying one if I didn't already know I don't quite like wearing the haute horlogerie look

·Being honest, I preferred Christopher Ward when their watches were more in the £200-500 range. They're moving a bit too far up market for me. Ignoring the fact it's too big for me at 41mm, and I also don't like the haute horology look, I'd never spend £3k on a Christopher Ward (sorry). Maybe that makes me a brand snob, but I just don't believe the finishing will match up to that price tag. Happy to be corrected.

·I wouldn't buy it either, but I think it is a good thing that the Swiss market gets a healthy level of competition and is challenged by affordable brands who can do something like this for only 3k

·It’s bloody impressive what they’ve made in such a “compact” size. There is no record to top now, any deeper and it’s pointless as we’d have to go off planet and find a deeper ocean.

·Never handled one in person, but IIRC I've never heard (incl. read) bad things about their finishing and QC (And I do spend way too much time on watch forums 😁 )

·Nothing bad. They do a great watch for the price, but as that price gradually increases, I feel there are better brands out there. But yeah, to get a movement/watch like this from one of the big Swiss brands like JLC is going to cost a bomb more for sure.
Kinda doing the Biver approach, here's your Swiss tourbillon for pennies.
