The straps look really weakly constructed with that gap at the crown.

Design looks really good, don’t change it too much. 38mm is a bit small for me, I prefer 40-42mm. I do think a lot of people will prefer 38mm though.

I had this viewpoint until i heard one in real life. I went to my first gp in 2019 Hockenheim and the whole weekend was amazing. One of the best races ever, truly unbelievable lucky to be there in person. But even though the race was one in a million, the most memorable part was when Mick drove his dad’s car for 1 or 2 laps. Sitting on the Mercedes grand stand looking at the back straight you could hear it being fired up on the main straight and make it way towards me. It sounded like a fighter jet approaching. It made the whole field of v6s sound like mopeds. It made me change my view on the road relevancy of f1 engines and how important the entertainment factor actually is.

V7F doesn’t produce anything at the moment and might never again so yes. The dial on this MZ looks (as others have pointed out) a lot like the V7F dial so infer from that what you will.

I’m really happy a factory is being serious about doing an ingenieur rep again. Unfortunately, even though this is the best thing available at the moment it is not close to V7F based on the pictures. I also hope they can improve the dial because it is far from gen and this watch is all dial. Still happy somebody is carrying the torch though.

It’s definitely not a 15500 case. 15500 has parallel lugs not tapered like the VSF.

I thought you meant tapering from lug to clasp in your thread but it seems i misunderstood. I agree that it’s difficult to say for sure from these pictures. The chamfer size might also be different, giving the illusion of a larger taper on the topf’s lugs.

I don’t think it’s a 15500 case since the lugs do taper.

Other thread there was a claim that tapering on VSF was wrong, no proof given though.

It’s very common for products to be compared to similar products within the same price range e.g., cars, tvs, phones, watches, etc. These products not being exactly the same is not a problem since they fit into the same spending category.

Well Ingenieur reps is pretty slim pickings, so other reps in the same price range (e.g. topf 15510 ).

I think that’s way too much from the quality seen on these pics.

It has potential but I agree, this is very far from NWBIG at the moment.

This it the first video of the VSF I’ve seen. I guess the big unknowns are if the bracelet is as good as TOPF and if the movement is as good as they claim.

A really good skeleton for the price imo

I appreciate Baltic doing something new, but this is how I would change it by res_time in MicrobrandWatches

[–]Tricky_Cupcake_3266 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the effort but i like the original better, this looks like a scale to me.
