They are using ETA's now. Some stellar designs for sure. I guess I'll be kicking myself in a few years when they cost more, but I'm dying to try one on. As usual, there are no flipping AD's anywhere near me in the midwest. Sucks being in a non WIS town.

They have quite a following on Timezone I believe.

I have one and want two more.
They are more comfortable than a ROO to me (and actually a larger watch). I have small wrists but it wears great. Many have ETA and they are also adding. A few now have the legendary Sven Andesen movement. Most if not all are limited editions. Very unique pieces and great owners as well as amazing customer service.

Don't know much, other than I like the look of their silver dial GMT and strap options. The limited edition green dial one is pretty nice, too. Haven't seen a LW in the wild....

PS I have the DLC Oktopus, its a series of 88
I want a SA Skeleton and am trying to make it happen!!! Again I can't praise the watch enough. Its shown me not to buy the ROO (I have 6.8 in wrist and would rather it offer a regular buckle instead of the deployment this one gives the diver possible hope in my collection). If I had bigger wrists(7.5 + perhaps) The Piggyback chrono is a let down on a watch of this level (heck its a let down to most on the Tudor Heritage chrono so why we should accept it on the ROO is beyond me) Again by no means have I dealt with any repair so can attest to that BUT I have spoken to customer service various times about questions I had and am ALWAYS replied to quickly and given a very personal response, they really go out of their way to help you decide whats best for you! I have MANY quality high end watches and the beyond PP (problem is the cheapest PP I like is about 40K) the brand that intrigues me most these days is LW. They are built by real people, designed by truth enthusiast, adventurers and are unique.
