These are great looking watches, especially the “Batman”. I find the detail in the dial interesting and not overwhelming.
I’m so over the flyer/caller debate. I have a black 16750. I leave the hands on EST and turn the bezel to wherever I am. Voila, and if someone is in India, it has infinite adjustment not 24 clicks like a GMT2. Been doing it this way for over 30 years what am I missing except less wear on the winding mechanism?
Yeah you know, the fact that a so-called caller can actually be adjusted to any timezone, not just those with full hour offsets from GMT, without paying five figures for a Vacheron Patrimony World Timer ;) is a nice plus.
And those are still so affordable. Parenthetically Jean Arnault wears a very early – I think actually first – complicated LV quartz watch from the 1980s and he's told me that LV has no record of where the movement came from (although I think they could probably find out if they wanted to, surely there would be some clues on the movement plate). Always wondered if JLC or IWC had anything to do with it.
Any idea what's the bracelet width and how much it tapers? Love brushed steel, watch looks great overall, but my concern is how the angular case and this type of bracelet with what seems like a male endlink will sit on the wrist. Seems like it could sit similar to Tissot PRX which unfortunately I find chunky and not refind enough.

The yellow and rose two tone is fun. Reminds me of the JLC Odysseus.

Great job! Keep up the good work!
At some point in the future. I would love to hear your take on Erwin Sattler clocks.
