I’m hopeful these will be faithful designs of the originals. Timex has proved with the Marlin that there is a market for smaller affordable watches. However, the cynic in me thinks they may be over sized and over priced.
Yeah I feel the same way. Let's cross our fingers and hope for the best!
You just know these will release in 42mm for 8k. lol
Yup that’s the worry :(
That’s my concern too. I don’t even understand why most brands nowadays keeps pumping large watches like those 42mm or bigger? I mean, most men watches back in 60s to 70s are around 35 or 36 and people wore it on regular basis so why they got bigger nowadays? It might work well for others but my 5 1/2 inches couldn’t wear anything larger than 38mm. I also prefer my watch to be less noticeable so I don’t really like a larger one (I want people to see my face first, not my watch).
I would pay Rolex prices for a tasteful, respectful reissue of the Polerouter, provided it was less than 40mm diameter.
I think many people would. We'll have to wait and see!
من فضلك عندي ساعة pierpont نسائية قديمة ميكانيكية وهي بحالة جيدة واريد بيعها60000$ وعندي ساعة Sndoz قديمة رجالية ميكانيكية لكن في مشكلة بسيطة بالميناء ولكنها تعمل بشكل جيد 60000 $ وساعة sirgint بحالةجيدة 5000$ وساعة ام صليب قديمة يلزمها قليل من الاصلاح واريد بيعها 15000 $
I’d rather get a Smiths transglobal
No way! I do like it but it doesn't come close to the Polerouter.
If they are selling 15k watches, yawn, it will be another brand I ignore.
If they produce wafches below 10k I hope the opposite - 40 or 42mm watches.
The last thing the watch world needs is more tiny watches. I want vintage inspired, occasionally, but not an actual watch that’s stuck entirely in the past.
I disagree there are loads of 40mm+ dress watches and chronographs. 'Tiny' watches are the exception not the rule!
What are you talking about the market is LOADED with massive watches
