    Autodromo Group B

    Hey guys! Autodromo just released a new watch called the Group B at Salon QP.

    It's Steel/titanium, 56g, 39mm, comes with 2 nylon straps and I believes it's $925 or £600 odd.

    What do you think?
    I quite like it.

    Good for something different although they are not entirely my taste. I like the yellow the best.

    The hexagonal crown is a nice feature. Nut crown?

    Not sure about the Group B font, even though it feels appropriate for the time the watch seeks its inspiration from.

    Wondering how it will wear with the quite aggressive down slope in the lugs. Haven't seen a L2L measure

    What's driving the price? Not the 9015 movement.

    The bimetallic case perhaps? Titanium and stainless

    Seems very high still

    I see what you did there

    It's okay, but a bit put off by the 'tail' of the minute hand.

    I was a bit fan of the Prototipo, but this leaves me cold. It looks like a Swatch.
