DeWitt Sequentiel Academia Chronograph

[Guest Sql_pl]

One of the new reps ofered by King and the rest of the cartel are the new DeWitt Chronographs - Sequentiel Academia.

Have to tell you the design look really interesting and what is more important the quality of the rep seems to be really really good.

Was never really familiar with DeWitt products but have to honestly tell you this watch starts to call my name.... looks sophisticated and .. expensive?

Just look:

Rep:

Gen:

Rep again:

Just look at the finish:

What do you guys think?

Well...it does need a couple of minutes to get used to its design, but I must say I like it a lot...and the finish seems amazing...

For some gawdy strange reason... I'm liking it... Here's some more shots of the gen:

The front is really good, but the rotor is way off, The good thing about the gen is the rotor and on the rep it is [censored].

[mikellem]

I actually like this also...

Very different, except the dial looks

very well done from what I can see...

Don't really know exactly how close to gen

it is....Buttttttttt I like it!

I really like this non radical design. This tops my wish list at the moment (much more than that Porsche Design new replica).

[Corgi]

It looks like an optical illusion.

I like the dark blue, rose gold and steel combination, very rich and handsome.

This is a very intriguiging watch, it's growing on me.

Talk about a conversation starter when worn.

[LordRasta]

I like it, but it reminds me of the circus..

My mother told me that If I can't say something nice, I shouldn't say anything at all.

So I will remain silent.

The watch has a black dial.....it looks blue due to the Double Sided AR.

Just my 2 cents

[luisik]

I love it ! ... this is a brand for the very high class and styled people who not only have money

DeWitt is, beside Fran

Yes an amazing 2 year climb to the top of the horological heap...

This is one of my favorite "moderns"... The DW 6005 movement is in fact based on the ETA/VJ 7750 ebauche, in this model without the hours counter.. and the first ones to be produced have a chemical etched rotor, much like this rep... later ones are supposed to have a skeletonized version, I haven't seen that version in the flesh yet.

This is a VERY nice rep, I see no really major issues. This might just be a proper "Super Rep", but I can't say from the crappy photos. It looks like it stands a chance at being a better rep than the SFSO...

BTW... Has anyone seen the Roger DuBuis Excalibur JFK yet?

Very nice watch but for the rep nearly 500$ makes you think
