 I think the Korsbek represent a fantastic value when compared to some others mentioned
The bezel width is 45mm similar to Kobold LSD, with a Marathon like configuration according to Poul, it really doesn't look anything like the LM6.
The design id bezel dominant, curved 4mm crystal and very thick 17mm plus, i think the base case is very similar to the LSD
Kenzo calls his watch 44m this is the case edge measurement not the bezel which is closer to 42mm, standard case from the Alphatime and Atlantis, very nice by the way, but different look
For US based consumers Seattle locale is huge
The German made Fricker case is an advantage over Asian sourced cases, O7,Nauticfish,etc, I know these are nicely made but would stick with Fricker.
The mov't 2824, not sw200
The price is 850USD vs 890euros for the Kenzo
The bracelet looks very similar to the Kenzo and the Rasmus
The only issue with any of these projects is how much effort is put into regulating the movements, I have the Yao Blackwater which is the most accurate watch I own because Bill does a great job regulating them. My Enzo ran very fast but after Enzo regulated it it was spot on, my Bathys with the 2892 was incredibly accurate.
I honestly think if these guys would take the time to check each watch post delivery and ensure they are running accurately, put them on a timing device and send the strip with the watch, this would be very helpful, fewer returns for regulation and good feedback.
