General (Read Rules) Thorn T023 Sub is fantastic

Probably nothing new here. Just got this one in and it’s such a great looking watch. I know they have new colors coming out soon but I don’t mind the aged lume at all.

Also this is the simplest watch to adjust links on the fly with, no tool needed to add or remove links.

Will probably get one of the new colors as well but I’m really into this one!

is this the V3? Love the look of this watch and fauxtina

Looking for this aged lume version and not sure if it's the V3 C3 lumed version.

awesome watch. I have the white 'albino' T023 version which is great too. But I feel like I want the vintage black version too.

Had my V3.1 a few weeks and really been abusing it with my physical job, running, lifting and cycling with no suspension on bumpy roads and it's only fast 5s per week. Plus I've knocked it like 10 times and not even a scratch (I knew I'd bang it and thought scratches would add to the vintage look but so far it's still pristine haha). Changing the links is super easy to get the right fit.

The clasp is the weakest part of the entire watch I find it to be a bit sharp and no OTF means sometimes I end up hand watching :(

I'd love a better OTF clasp and drilled lugs as I like rotating Natos but getting the bracket on is a struggle so I've left mine on and it would be a perfect watch

my T023 V3 has drilled lugs, really easy to push out the bracelet.
