Wanted to pull trigger on this one since the price is fair for an ETA movement,lots of brands are switching to SW these days,I have a SW one and i can say i can see more dusts in there than an ETA would have,and some other details are not as good as ETA if you check it closely with a zoom lens.
But yeah it is good to see Massdrop doing more watches.
Just a few questions,what is the lume on this watch?Is it Superluminova?Or some cheaper lume?
And about the nylon strap,i heard it is not comfortable on the wrist,especially if you got it wet.....So if it is true?I think it is but some brand use leather or rubber lining on the inside to solve this.Does this has any?

DeathWatchEdit: Confirmed a few things.
There is a thin leather lining around the buckle holes on the inside and outside of the strap. This nylon strap is pretty comfortable because it is substantially thicker than the average nylon strap.
I have confirmed with the vendor that the lume is green superluminova.

ChristopherJThanks!Your information really helps!
BTW any chance you can tell us any of the brand Massdrop will work with in the future?That would be really interesting.Or how high up of a brand are you guys going to get ?Tissot?Omega?Rolex?Maybe Patek even. :)

DeathWatchI would say that Tissot has a chance of being dropped but for the others you've suggested i wouldn't count on it just cause of the the way those manufacturers are run.

DeathWatchThat's a difficult question to answer. We don't know how deep the rabbit hole goes yet. We do know that it would be near impossible to get an ultra-luxury and horologically significant brand such as Patek to discount their watches on Massdrop. However, I will say that Massdrop is a pretty unique platform, where stuff like this can happen: https://www.massdrop.com/buy/akg-k7xx-massdrop-first-edition-headphones

ChristopherJdo you guys only contact the vendor after 200 votes or do u see a poll that is popular with sub 200 votes and then contact a company to see if they are interested?

Hughs8Thanks!Yours Omega is nice too!
I am just checking if they have any idea,if they already have some progress with some brands i can save my money for it,otherwise i will have to buy from else where.I had a to put one of my watches for service due to a part falling off the movement(I have reason to believe it felt off before i got it).....I just got that like for 2 weeks....Massdrop would be a much safer place.
