I was on one of the Facebook Groups when I first saw the black version of these and I immediately had to see if they’d let me try one of the prototypes so here we are.
I am not getting paid for this, no free watch will come my way and I don’t receive a discount for this. They will pay for the cost of shipping it back but that’s it.
I’m not a reviewer. I’m just here showing off the eye candy that I love about this watch and I’m happy to answer any questions.
I will say that it looks and feels like it’s done by one of the 2-3 most popular factories that we are seeing used by Helm, Borealis, Halios, NTH, etc. I have no idea which one and I felt it would be rude for me to ask. The construction is really solid and I love the brushed finished.
Please keep in mind that this one has been used by whoever before me plus for demo pictures so there are signs of wear.
I didn’t get to choose which prototype I’d receive but I definitely wanted this one or the blue one with black bezel.
The owner mentioned that the ratchet clasp will either say Marlin or have a Marlin on it.
