    How do you find the 24hr dial readability? I have a metric retro dial, and my 46 year old eyes struggle to read the subdials in anything but bright light.

    I love my brew though, and I think yours looks great in red

    Maaan, what a beauty! I had the steel dial version that I ended up selling. I much more prefer a colorful version like the one you have. Wear in good health!

    Just got my Metric Retro in yesterday. These watches definitley look great in person; photos don’t really do them justice.

    Do you have any issues with the bracelet pulling your arm hair? I had a brew but had to get rid of it unfortunately because it was literally painful to wear 🥲

      Mine was bad for a day or two, but then settled right down. I don’t even notice it anymore. Maybe it has already removed all the hair from my arm.

    I got one too and hate to say but it’s worthless. I have to break out my phone so I can zoom in on the hour to tell the time. I might as well use my phone at that point. It truly is just a piece of jewelry at this point.

    Brew knocks it out of the park with this crimson chronograph. In fact, it’s technically a chrono-regulator since they removed the normal hour hand while retaining a separate 24 hour and small seconds hand. I think this is quite clever given how much mechanical regulators can cost and the lack of red regulators of any kind of the market.

    I’ve wanted a metric for a while but it never sparked my interest just enough to pull the trigger. This one was a game changer though. Limited to 200 watches per colorway, this limited edition is (in my opinion) a solid value at $549 for those who managed to get them before they sold out in August.

    What do you all think?
