Kobold Soarway GMT Avantgarde Watch
Why just 25 pieces Kobold? I mean this watch is really quite nice. While I appreciate the "Avantgarde" designation, this watch isn't that weird. I could easily see myself wearing it daily. I wonder what other styles of straps it would well on? Well for just 25 pieces, they are pricey. Is that Kobold's way of recouping the development cost for the piece? Well, I will tell you what you need to know, and then you can decide whether it is too expensive. Either way, very pretty timepiece.The most avant garde aspect of this Soarway GMT is the bezel.
