This has been one of the most enjoyable, stimulating and POSITIVE brand discussions we've had here for ages.
It's brilliant to actually have a two way discussion with the designer. If only Breitling would lower themselves to join our discussions.

Good on you Chris and welcome. I'd echo the comments about the degree scale. The date doesn't faze me at all but the scale crossing the white numbers feels awkward to me. But I love love love the vertical register watch! Best of luck to you, mate.

Thanks again! We are very excited about the Degreemeter project and I can't wait to see it evolve into Jardur's signature line. Love this site.

Again, it is you guys and gals that are Jardur's ambassadors.

Best Regards...CC

Well, I had an opportunity to pick up a new Jardur Bezelmeter a week ago from the initial batch of watches produced by Jardur. The watch is a lot taller than I was expected but the width is just about perfect. I seem to have a knack for bumping watches on door frames if they're really thick so I really prefer thinner models. I thought I'd go ahead and resell it and then thought maybe my son would like it since he likes the bigger watches so will be giving it to him on his next visit in a few weeks. Not much of a strap fan myself so thought I'd try the Bezelmeter on an aftermarket Pilot style satin bracelet I had laying round and I like the results. I do like the large white hands and numerals which makes the watch very easy to read quickly. I like the flat crystal and also like that the bezel coin edge is really flush with the case so the chances of snagging on clothes is minimized, important in a big watch. The red scale takes a little getting used to the way it overlays the numbers but I like the additional color it provides to the black face. The lug holes make strap changes a breeze.

Pics are working for me now. Looks like a decent watch, but I still think it's absolutely crying out for a black date wheel, and I can see how the red degree track would take some getting used to.
