Anyone ever handle a Gorilla Outlaw Drift?
First thing that comes to mind is what a stupid name.
The brand was founded by Octavio Garcia who used to design watches for Omega and most recently with AP for almost 2 decades. The outlaw drift is a wandering hours with the movement being done by Vaucher who also do movement for Richard Mille Proprietary module G-5238, Swiss Made Engineered & manufactured by VAUCHER Manufacture Sweeping seconds hand White Super-Luminova™ on satellite discs & minute markers Hand-chamfered & brushed carousel cage Hand-milled base plate fixed in place by two “poli miroir” fasteners https://youtu.be/pDvZpW5Y02Y?si=csmx_XfpVDO6C7Xs |

am interested in this too - have been watching the brand for a while because it seems like a reasonably priced/interesting way to get a wandering hours complication.
if you haven't already seen them, ablogtowatch did some reviews of both the drift and the drift safari. |

I think they're quite cool. Just to clarify - they are ETA2824-2 movements with a wandering hour module made by Vaucher.

Never handled or seen one in person but perusing their website, their limited run Fastback Thunderbolt chronograph is an absolute stunner. Thanks for mentioning them. The brand and its founding is quite intriguing.

I like it. Have loved the idea of a wondering hour for years but haven’t found one that is perfect enough on the wrist. At this price though…. And it’s a great size….
