Kickstarter 2/4 this month! I don’t think the market is saturated quite yet, but it is certainly more saturated than it was a couple of years ago. For a $300, NH35 powered dive watch to succeed, it has to offer something different. Is the MMI Turret different enough? You tell me. Cheers, Jody

For many, the Skyraider, and especially the skeleton version, remains the top of the Zelos ladder. This truly is a stunning watch, but is by no means perfect. If you want to tell the time accurately and easily, this isn’t the one for you, but if you want arguably the most striking watch possible for the money, step right up. Mine has a few bits of crap in the caseback. I’ll be keeping my eyes on it, a flaw definitely worth pointing out to prospective purchasers. Cheers, Jody

With 580+ orders already in the bag, it just goes to show that there is a big demand for somethign other than dive watches. Ivan at Vario has long ploughed his own furrow, and if the success of the 1918 is anything to go by, he’ll be a fixture on the micro scene for a long time to come. I have issues with the movement and the length (or lack thereof) of the Bund strap, but the enamel dial looks amazing and $250USD is a very fair price, I think. Cheers, Jody

Shout outs galore and a long and rambling video about the Alpinist, old and new. I have borrowed two and bought none, it just isn’t for me, I prefer my tool watches in a dive watch stylee. There is definitely more to like about the new one, including various colours which are easier on the eye than green and gold, but I don’t think the price justifies the extra features. Shop the deal on this one, HARD! Cheers, Jody
