It appears to be a fine product though, and I've never minded spending money on something expensive which I consider to be worth the cost As mentioned before, the compatibility with the watch's existing clasp is something which (to me) makes it worth the pricetag (although of course, it could definitely be done cheaper )
Thanks for the link, I didn't realize that the MBWs had the faux valves, I'm glad I haven't asked a friend in Bangkok to have a look at the prices in the mall, as that would've really ground my gears, I think I'll just wait and see what happens when I eventually order one from WatchEden and hope for the best
You are correct there, there is no need for a land-lubber like me to actually need the functional HE valve on the watch at all, and it is certainly a function which I would never see used. For me though, the knowledge that it was non-functional would probably irritate. A bit like the aforementioned faux chronos. I don't mind if a rep Daytona might have one of those day/date/24 hour movements, as those hands still perform a function, but when a watch has a dial with subdials marked out, and a hand just glued in place... That's what I really find frustrating Of course, as before, it's all a pretty much moot point at the moment till I can spare the cash to buy the piece, as with the lume tests, I'm just doing my groundwork to try and get a good project out of it Of course, anyone seeing it who knows what it is, would likely immediately know something was wrong ( ie why would I be wearing one... ) but I'd still like everything on it to actually work properly
They do indeed Of course, a cheaper option would have been to re-finish the bracelet and brush the mid-links
