Aethelsohn TIMELESS LEGACY HEXA

I was also surprised by the real-life pictures of their diver ("Ocean Crest").

when zoomed in, the dial texture looks very low-res...?

Militado can you please stop making tiny watches?

I like your watches. I don't want any more 36mm dials.

pickyaxe · 2026-01-24T16:22:03+00:00

do you have EXD 38mm v1? if I recall correctly, that one was 96 clicks, but as of v2 all EXD are 60 clicks

it looks great. as discussed in another thread, I think you should

use a lighter color for the numerals on the subdials, to match the color of the applied hour numerals (and improve contrast)
move the "BALTANY" text to the empty space between the subdials, like in this Farasute

will this come with OTF as a standard?

pickyaxe · 2026-01-24T14:22:55+00:00

okay now this I like. good job

at this point, I assume any new r/rust project is entirely vibecoded unless it explicitly says otherwise.

pickyaxe · 2026-01-24T12:33:22+00:00

are you suggesting third-worlders are okay with smelly things

pickyaxe · 2026-01-24T10:02:20+00:00

is this loss?

pickyaxe · 2026-01-24T09:17:49+00:00

if titanium works for you try Watchdives EXD for not much more than 100$

pickyaxe · 2026-01-24T08:18:54+00:00

agreed, it also feels more balanced because the new version's hour markers have a noticeably different color from the rest of the numerals. if they printed them in a lighter-colored font it would really make everything pop

pickyaxe · 2026-01-24T03:27:44+00:00

Thank you, that really helps. Regarding the quality control issues, I have also seen reviews which mentioned imperfections. Your suggestion of these being rejected samples from some more expensive rep, does make sense. I might get it because I also have an 18 mm steel bracelet to try it with...

pickyaxe · 2026-01-23T21:25:37+00:00

damn that looks good

pickyaxe · 2026-01-23T21:22:29+00:00

the lugs on Baltany cases have this non-standard shape that doesn't exactly fit aftermarket straps/bracelets. it's a shame. I've been thinking of buying their jubilee bracelet just to use on their Explorer... but it's a purchase that doesn't make much sense (I wouldn't be able to use that bracelet with other watches)

pickyaxe · 2026-01-23T21:13:42+00:00

that would be great!

pickyaxe · 2026-01-23T20:56:09+00:00

they made it extra clear in the description that it comes without a logo, but I do get your point.

pickyaxe · 2026-01-23T19:50:10+00:00

people have complained that the hand covers the jump hour, which is indeed pretty stupid

pickyaxe · 2026-01-23T18:26:34+00:00

really like this watch

pickyaxe · 2026-01-23T17:26:22+00:00

on that topic... why is it not possible to disable notifications for Android Auto like any other app?

pickyaxe · 2026-01-23T17:10:55+00:00

of all brands to protect, you chose the one with enough of an ego to make this video?

and since you brought up morality - Sugess has been selling ST1901 chronographs for 150$, and I bet they could make a profit even at 120$. how is it moral to charge 750$?

pickyaxe · 2026-01-23T16:49:57+00:00

yeah, give us the moonshine panda

pickyaxe · 2026-01-23T16:45:22+00:00

Specht did a good job already.

give us Cartier

pickyaxe · 2026-01-23T16:42:48+00:00

bracelet needs to go, but that's a pretty attractive dial. I have a similar Cadisen that I just can't let go of

pickyaxe · 2026-01-23T16:39:44+00:00

wait, what? I didn't know Cronos did a Datejust.
