SAN Jump Hour?!

There's a new SAN series numbered 1.4, 2.4 etc. the Bugatti Veyron of watches aaccording to the pitch. The last revealed is a Unitas 6497 powered jump hour. Interesting...but it retains the rotating diver's timing bezel ....

Check them out if you still have visiting privledges

Hmmm....didn't know about the jump hour offering.

2.4
Interesting but need to see it on TV
Probably won't buy it anyway - Personally SAN3'd out

1.4
Not moved in any way whatsoever.
Just a 5040F with a different dial cutout treatment

3.4
Hand painted dial - interesting idea
Day display vent and Seconds turbine - Tacky

4.4
Jump hour - Ultra tacky
Poor execution with signage and red arrows pointing to Sec., Hr, Min, etc.
Sorry - just plain awful to me

. . . . Invicta slam approaching . . .

. . . . what is this? Get rid of the last of Lalo's left over SAN III parts before the IV comes out.

I rarely vehemently declare my distaste this way, bit I detest that crap . . . .

No slam, nothin personal - just the facts from my POV.
Eyal is trying to sell watches - leverage the SAN brand - I get it.
I just don't like 'em

jumped in and looked at them but don't care for any of the dials

OK, I really liked the SANIII, but this new version does absolutely NOTHING for me at all! Plus, being an Invicta, I probably wouldn't buy it anyway. I'm pretty much over my Invicta infatuation.

Is it on the main page?

I also have to ask, does such print on a pic such as "only use with permission of, property of, etc" REALLY hold up it it is NOT legitimately copyrighted material?

I think after I posted that really bad lume job on the Imperious Gearhead thread a month or so ago he started putting that on his pictures to avoid any embarassment beyond WG.




Maybe I can get his express consent to use it... BTW - Alan you have PM

Ok, don't ask, dont' tell into play here...

I just saw a picture of the new Invicta and it is NOT a Jump Hour. It has an hour "window" that shows many numbers (10, 11, 12, 1) much like the expanded date windows do with an arrow pointing at the appropriate hour. For a watch to be a JUMP HOUR, the hour should literally JUMP from one to the next, NOT show a gradual progression.

THESE are actual JUMP HOUR watches:







And the ULTIMATE Jump Hour:

Good to know...

I was wondering about that, why couldn't someone post the pictures for reference, as long they are not using it for purposes of gain or saying it's their own. Why wouldn't Invicta want these to be posted on every watch forum so that they can increase the sales?

ROUGH rendering...

More like a limp hour then! In any event a timing bezel is useless.
