H2O KALMAR - the picture thread

[richc1958]

Looking at the photos, I see where the Kalmar is written on the back and the dial, and I do see where it is a 'K' but only after looking hard - it certainly looks like Halmar. Kind of like if you had a Bolex watch.

But what's the WR of this watch? The website says 3000m, the dial says 3000m, but the case back says 2000m. Is this the O7 57 click bezel or the Korsbek ..... engraving on the caseback, part III?



It really does look like Halmar.

I think we have a watch fail.

Watch FAIL ???? did you purchase one ??? if not how can you say this???? Drives me crazy how people on these forums can say the things like this without ever seeing a watch first hand...yes this watch is big but it wears so good as it is very light for its size....buy one and wear it awhile before you call it a watch fail.....till then go away

How long before any watch hits the sales corner? As much as folks around here love to flip watches, I would expect that it won't be long. I wouldn't view that as a failure of the watch or brand. I've often thought that after going to the sales corner and seeing watches that folks had been clamoring about for months for sale in droves. Then low and behold those same brands continue to sell new watches that folks love. So I really don't think that would be a good barometer to use to measure the success of any watch. IMO that is.

There was one for sale here as it was too big for the buyer sold in less than a day....

What constructive purpose is there in showing up to a thread and making juvenile remarks? In either case, if your point is to troll the thread, then I encourage others to not bite. That sandbox of yours isn't large enough for two adults, let alone one.

And now I've seen a bunch of others and the various compositions, I feel compelled to say I am amazed. At the truly horribleness of this watch. Garrish hands, way too thick case (what's in it?), lugs that protrude like buck teeth, and the meccano/lego toy aspect of the watch.

How long before they hit the sales corner and languish?

I'm going to find some shoes that are three times too big, paint them different colors, put on my clown nose, put on my stripey blazer, put on the ginger Ronald wig and scour the SC for a matching watch.

IMO, of course. Your mileage may vary.

Well said Eric.....

It would be difficult to develop a watch design that suits everybody. If itīs not yours itīs OK.

Just to add some words regarding the WR/dial/case back engraving:
1. Our watch is officially certified for a water resistance of 6000M by a German company! Yes, we are even underrating the WR by 100% or to just 3000M on our dial and case back. The closed case back has of course the 3000M engraving like the dial.
2. The OPTIONAL display case back is reducing the WR to 2000M, but even though it might be the deepest rated display case back in the market. We will WR test the display case back as soon as possible and we are confident it will survive at even much higher pressure. This fact is written many times on our website.

Thank you for the clarifying response. I do wish you well with your watches and it certainly seems you have a strong following here.

I can say it because when I see a WR on a dial and the caseback is different there is an inconguity, otherwise referred to as a fail. It has nothing to do with buying or having the watch. I have already stated my personal opinion about the watch! Hence I chose not to buy one, but I'm not sure that doesn't preclude my posting an opinion on it. Drives me crazy when people don't get context and get a little emotional.

Showing up in a thread? Making juvenile remarks? Troll. My sandbox is not large enough?

And who exactly is making inflammatory remarks that are off-topic which is the general definintion of a troll?

Showing up in a thread - thought I was expressing my opinion of a new watch. Is that not allowed?
Juvenile remarks - I assume you are referring to the clown comments - that was humor, albeit in negotiable taste!
Troll - not sure who is the troll in this thread and whether my comments are more antagonistic than yours or not. There was no antagonism on my part, just expressing my opinion. I kept it on topic of the watch. You didn't. For example, the sandbox comment and those above!

Let's please keep this thread on track as Clemens originally intended... people posting photos of their new H20 Kalmar purchase that they are excited about. Thanks.
