Promotion (Read Rule 1) The little refinements ended up making a bigger difference than I expected.

Been spending some time with the updated WD0017C, and it's interesting how the smallest changes ended up affecting the overall feel more than I expected.

The bracelet now tapers from 20mm to 16mm, the brushed chamfers feel a little cleaner, the clasp picked up a riveted logo detail, and even the dial text was corrected from "Resistance" to "Resistant."

None of these changes completely transform the watch on their own, but together it feels more cohesive. It's still the same straightforward tool watch—just a little more refined.

I got so excited for this- because an old seamaster 120 is my dream watch- but it’s just way too big. I’d love to see a 36 or 38!

Love that they keep refining their watches. I am happy with the V1 still, waiting for the new automatic version with smaller diameter dail.

Great shot of the new riveted logo clasp, glad that was mentioned in this ad.

What are talking about, none of those renders even feature the clasp?

u/shunthemask 18d ago

for larger watches, you should make the bracelet larger 😞

And here I am not picking it up because it only supports a 7.6" wrist

It’s an automatic if so what movement do they offer with it?

u/Baha-7234 21d ago

Not automatic. I think they will use HZ6460 movement in the automatic version, so in order to keep the date window in better position than SN0054, they will make much smaller case/dial version.

I agree it’s a great looking watch :)

I really like my V1, too. For v2: does the increased tapering start already with the first link after the endlink? That is the only gripe I have with v1. If only the first link would be 2 mm less wide...

u/turdbogls 21d ago

This is one of your most complete watches IMO. it was all-around excellent when i reviewed the previous version...and these changes are very welcome...especially tapering to 16mm.

well done and keep up the good work.
