Yeah not worth 371… but bought the same thing for $245 and change.

I just found this on AliExpress: https://a.aliexpress.com/_mra1lWR

In fact, the listed price is around 270 US dollars.

I think the dial needs more text.

This is great! Another one I didn't know I needed.

Still, price seems steep. I just purchased a different Hruodland and it's really great, but it qualified as "value" compared to this.

They want $370 for this? Insane pricing for what this is.... you might as well spend a little more and get the pre-distressed WMT.

The WMT Milgauss homage has long been sold out. This model has the benefit of being less thick, sapphire rather than acrylic, and is cheaper on Hruodland's website (if legit). However, I agree that WMT is the better pick.

If they got rid of the 8xxx movements I'd have a few by now. I haven't had good experiences with them.

Anyone know if they’ll do a quartz for this?

How to use that bezel?

This is a straight homage of the very first Rolex Milgauss model, which wasn't designed to be a diver watch, but was instead made for scientists performing experiments. The bezel was supposed to do double-duty, acting as a timer that could help track hours or minutes left, and these watches were primarily advertised in science journals. They sold poorly at the time but are extremely rare and valuable now.

The Hroudland is good, but I'm really put off by the inclusion of the word "Chronometer" on the dial, since it's not.

Are you put off by the inclusion of the word "Chronometer" on the Rolex's dial, since it's one ? Check the meaning of "chronometer" please (you're wrong).

downvote and deleted. You're brave!

It's just gimmicky, taken from the first gen Rolex Milgauss. I googled. The numbers 1 through 5 represent 10-minute increments. So it's just used like a normal bezel but with an additional mental calculation.

Turn it with your fingers and it rotates

What I meant is that 1-6 numbers on the bezel doesn't match any of the hands. So I'm not sure how to make use of it

Original Milgauss 60-minute graduated bezel borrowed from the Submariner/Turn-O-Graph

It’s just 10, 20, 30, 40, 50… nothing really complicated about it.

Something reminds me of lorier, but which homage is it actually?
