Can you share a picture of the movement? Is it open caseback? Looks very interesting.

The build quality is superb. Bracelet is one of the most comfortable i have worn. It also reflects light beautifully, akin to the Royal Oak bracelet but wears like an oyster. Makes my Explorer look downward cheap... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

That's so gorgeous, congratulations! Can't wait to get my Antarctique later in 2021. This manufacture has been wonderful to work with so far. Did you settle on a strap, and did it ship yet?

Thanks Matt. Yes i got the complimentary blue rubber strap and the deployant buckle but have not come around to cut it to size and put it together just yet. I am still enjoying the steel bracelet as its really fantastic to wear. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I think the closest competitor in this space at this price point is the Vacheron Overseas 3-hander. You're getting a luxury sport watch in a stainless steel case with bracelet, leather and rubber strap options with a quick change system. They price out almost identically when you add in a 2nd strap to the Czapek offering which ships with bracelet and one strap.
There are even similar dial options in terms of black, blue, and white/silver. With Czapek you get to customize your sweeping seconds hand, which is pretty cool. The Vacheron is beefier, has a 3:00 date window, and an auto movement with a big rotor. The Czapek case is a bit more svelte, has a 6:00 date window, and a more visually unique micro-rotor automatic movement. Vacheron bracelet is a bit beefier and predominantly brushed and it carries 15 bar water resistance, while the Czapek is rated to 12 bar and has a bracelet with some polished links. Both are great alternatives (but certainly not replacements!) compared to an AP RO and Nautilus. I hope that Czapek builds on this line to get some complications down the road if they are successful with this release. |

I haven't worn mine yet, but it arrived just in time for the new year. Front will stay under wraps, but I thought I'd post a photo of the (frankly insane) rear...
