The #8 - so cool. Since Asaoka san is now part owner and partner of Katayama san , even if his diver whiffs he’s got a monster winner in the Ostuka release! Agree on his diver, both too small and too large and heavy , neither of which I like even if I applaud trying to do it differently.
The "hammered" Anoma A1 is actually hand carved / chiselled, so the resulting watch ends up slightly smaller than a standard A1. I saw a prototype last year and they've refined the execution since then - I thought it looked really nice (and would look amazing in gold).
