I'm surprised this one isn't doing better in spite of being on KS. The price for a full Damascus case and caseback trinket with the 9019 movement is very good even at the second level tier.
 
If I was OVD I would go on FB .. this site specifically to get the word out. This stuff seems to get more traction when the brand puts the post up.

What color would you choose? They all look nice. This is a great price for this watch. Damascus bracelet would be nice.
 
Manufacturing Complexity: The process of creating a bracelet from Damascus steel is significantly more complex than producing standard metal bracelets. The intricate layering and patterning require skilled craftsmanship and advanced metallurgical techniques. Each piece must be carefully forged and treated to ensure that the desired patterns emerge correctly during etching processes.

Cost Factors: Due to these complexities—material properties, manufacturing challenges, and design considerations—producing a Damascus bracelet would likely be very expensive. The labor-intensive nature of crafting such pieces means that they would command higher prices than standard bracelets made from more common materials like stainless steel or titanium.

I like the light Damascus dial and that one .. tough choice, but I have two Timascus Zelos dials. The lume on the hands looks weak they small area they have to apply it on the markers.
 
I'm always skeptical of adding color to materials like meteorite. I have a feeling the patterns on Damascus will be muted as well with this dial in green. That's why most likely use the heat treated method to bring out the colors. Like the Sinn, I think the monotone dials in the lighter or darker work well in this case. If I could mix and match I might pick the darker Damascus case with the lighter dial to add some contrast.
