Thank you

Thanks a lot

You bet

:)

It really is!

Sorry!

@@islandwatch All good, sir! It's not one of yours, you just sell them. With those specs, it's going to keep a lot of people very happy! I hope you sell-out in an hour. I've really got no room to talk either. The ST19-based watch I *did* buy is the inexpensive Merkur FOD racing chrono, which has 12 hash marks on the 30 minute dial.... So the hand only lines up every 10 minutes! Way worse faux pas than a bit of "Captain Obvious" text on the dial.

We ship worldwide.

Great to hear.

Thanks!

Lume for me.

Marvin is awesome

@@islandwatch I am in the "League of Watch Microbrands" which is a FB group that Marvin is very active in. The Air League Special, was picked there very similar to the one you are doing right now here on YT.

I thought the same

I probably wouldn't at this point.

Noted!

Functionally equivalent, so I'd buy on style at that point.

Yup!

It‘s hand wound. You have to turn the crown to „charge“ it. power reserve is about 42 hours so essentially you should give it a couple of twists every day in order to keep it running.

It will continue to run until the power reserve runs out. The bezel has 30 minute markers between the hours so you know which part of the hour you're on when timing longer than 60 minutes. It's such a simple but well thought out detail.

Keeps going!

No, just straight end.

Strapsco sells one with a straight end. I have it on my Glycine Airman DC-4 and I love it.

You'd need a straight end

Thank you!

Yes, I believe it is.

None that I know of.

Probably Parallax as the watch reset perfect for me.

@@islandwatch. I'm a photographer. It wasn't parallax. Offset the same from multiple angles... asn't

95% of the time.

@@islandwatch so do you have two different times going then, or you’re just that much of a watch nut :)

Good tip

Thanks for watching.

You are!

@@islandwatch Thanks Mark, so are you. Glad to be a long term repeat customer.

It's not, its 499 :)

They're pretty good movements, I bought a watch 9 years ago with the same movement and it still runs pretty well and has never been serviced. They're based on the Venus 175 and are made with tooling from the Venus factory. But, you can get a watch with the same movement for under $200. Is it worth $300 for a different case and dial? I'm not sure. For the same $500 price you could get a Lorier Gemini, which looks better to my eyes and comes on a really nice bracelet. This Hemel looks good too but I'm not a big fan of faux aged lume.

@@ilovejazz3s I agree the movements are usually pretty good. This is my 3rd watch with the ST19. My Hemel actually came in today. I bought the Lorier Gemini last May and it's a great watch as well. I'm definitely in the honey moon faze right now with the Hemel but I think I like it better than the Lorier. Upside of the Lorier is it comes with a nice bracelet that has a 16mm taper for most it which makes it very comfortable. Why I'm digging the Hemel more right now is it has a Sapphire crystal and not pexiglass like the Lorier. The Hemel also has an exhibition case back when the Lorier has a plain sterile case back. I prefer being able to see this movement on the back on my watch. I measured the case diameter of the Lorier with my calipers at 38mm and the Hemel at 40mm. For my 7 1/4 inch wrist I'm digging the size of the Hemel but that's my personal preference. Both watches are great and the finishing and quality of both watches are on par with each other. edit: The leather strap on the Hemel is not great. I recommend replacing it with a higher quality leather strap to have it match the rest of the watch.

okay!

Congrats.

@@islandwatch Thank you 2 or 3 in a row if only I had as much luck on the lottery.
