That’s one good looking watch

Nov 12, 2020,08:42 AM
 

Been trying to contact Hajime san to no avail. Even translated my message to Nihongo.
Now am tempted to get a Kurono as a temporary palliative. Just cant bring myself to pay 3x release prices. Even 2x. Maybe 1.5x should be OK.
Oh well. The “hazards” of our hobby.
At end of the day, nothing still beats that Hajime original. smile

It’s the subtle finishes that make this watch for me.

The sandy appearing sub seconds, the octopus wheel and the drilled lugs. Very thoughtful design. Congrats on this one!

Good points !

I know this is a small thing...

Sublime watch. I noticed the number 006 on the movement. Could it be that yours is the sixth Tsunami ever made?!

Thank you my friend

 
 By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : November 7th, 2020-01:34
Yes mine is the 6th movement made by Hajime -san

I am curious how many watches

 
 By: sham1 : November 7th, 2020-03:17
he actually makes a year. Would be too impolite if I ask you for an introduction because it is not so easy to contact him? If it is complex, I totally understand Robin.

No problems mate happy to help

 
 By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : November 7th, 2020-04:55
I don’t contact him directly (and he doesn’t communicate in English). I met him once 3 years ago when his brand was launched in Singapore in a dinner hosted by my AD. I ordered the watch from my AD. If you want the contact of my AD, feel free to pm me As ... 

Pleasure ! Happy to share :) [nt]

For today, will target the Grand Akane first.

Sorry to hear

 
 By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : December 15th, 2020-23:14
Yes he’s a bit elusive indeed. I wonder if you can try to find an authorised dealer ?

wow

 
 By: timlua : November 15th, 2020-19:00

Thanks mate ! Yes it’s harder to get one now sigh
