In a world being taken over by fast fashion designed by ai bots the Proton MB-1 is a breath of fresh Tennessee mountain air. If my girl left me for a guy wearing a Proton I wouldn't be upset at all. Class recognize class. But the odds of that happening are pretty low considering there are only like 20 of these wrist panthers in existence. Think about that for a second... if you're reading this review you have a chance to buy the watch equivalent of bitcoin in 2012. It's been my daily wearer for about 4 months now and I would describe it as clean AF, versatile, and indestructible. Like I could stop a bullet with its sapphire dome then walk into a deli like I didn't just get shot at.
Not a Proton piece, but Matthew took a vintage '65 Seiko I found for my husband's 60th birthday and restored this unique watch to its original beauty. Amazing craftsmanship and attention to detail.
This is genuine craftsmanship- and everything from first contact to purchase to delivery was smooth. I’ll be buying again in the future.
Excellent quality and craftsmanship, I’ve had my piece for nearly 3 years and it still holds time perfectly and looks amazing. Couldn’t be happier with it.
Perfect craftsmanship with attention to detail! A unique, sturdy, heavy duty design which is the perfect mix between rugged and classy! Great seller, great contact! I will wear it proudly 🇩🇪🇺🇸🫡
