What time is it? Watches and horology

It is a stone cold banger

So. I got hands on with the W&W sample. I think this watch is going to be a big deal. Honestly, it works so well in the metal. I'm not normally wild for titanium, or anything over 13mm tall, but it is a killer watch. The "Evolution 9" design seems very well suited to a sports watch (for one thing, the bigger hands and markers make more sense when they're filled with lume) and I love all the details, the dial, the case, the bezel numerals.

It's knocking on the door of polar Explorer II (16570) prices, mind, but the level of watchmaking is pretty damn high.
