    I have to say Peter I really like the differences Peren has in their watch collection! It would be some 18(?) months ago, I had at least one of these in my basket, but pulled out. Now after a while they seem new again!😵‍💫🤣 Today I’m wearing a German made Werenbach Spaceborn watch! Check ‘em out for a huge point of difference! P.s. Spaceborn gives it away.😉

    Impressive design let down by the loss of the marker symmetry to accommodate a tiny date window that would best be removed if it can't be placed between 20 and 25.Although not overly thick slimming it down by reducing the 200m to 100m would be worthwhile to me, especially if it helped lower the price.

    This watch has been on my mind for a while. I know I should be very careful (for my own sake) about allowing myself to be captivated by dive watches as it's just not my style. But here is a watch that keeps me coming back for its utilitarian feeling design that actually keeps things interesting with unexpected flourishes and while feeling distinctly contemporary does so with an aesthetic language that actually reminds me of vintage measurement or photographic equipment: thus an elegant toolish aesthetic. It presents quite compact and feels very coherent (e.g. powdery white hands with open like block indices. Yes, the date is small, but it also looks right at home. My eyesight has always been pretty good and unless it's a real feature, a less intrusive date is probably what I'd prefer. I used to struggle to connect to black watches, but this one just must be black. There is no other way. The double bezel has the welcome effect of making the face of the watch visually smaller. I like the eccentricity of the Regia's bezel, but it has that far more prominent presence typical of dive watches. And yet, as much as the design keeps me coming back, I'm not entirely sure how much I'd like wearing it and your remark about it wearing top heavy is a warning sign. So I keep yoyoing between design appreciation and still finding it too much of a heavier tool for my usual preferences. One I'd love to be able to judge on my wrist.

    Very nice indeed. I love Peren's original design, attention to detail, and quality. I like everything about this watch. The only thing, and not that I don't like it, but my brain fights the date at the 12 o'clock position. I think it would not take long for my brain to reset however 🙃 US $800 for the ofering I believe to be fair. Thank you for sharing Pete 👍

    I'm as concerned as you are that a fake bling watch will get me killed as quickly as a genuine, but that's the lawless urban, "defund the police" culture we live in. More than enough reason to refrain from wearing an homage watch in high crime settings. But then high crime countries and U.S. left wing-run cities are not habitable, which is why I live in a rural area where my Pagani quartz won't get me shot. The problem isn't watch value, it's urban anarchy, and that usually means drugs; dealing, using, addiction, etc.
