My Thorn BB has arrived and I couldn't be happier with it!

I ordered this right at the beginning of the anniversary sale, but shipping took a while. I did arrive almost exactly on the date the store had projected from the beginning, which was a bit longer than the 10 days that Ali assumes for shipping to start.
Anyway, I'm super happy with the watch. Awesome finishing all around.
Resizing the bracelet was somewhat difficult - you need to turn the screws from both sides at the same time, and there is only one screwdriver included. It does fit very comfortably now, though. Also, the bracelet does have some regulard screws on the endlinks that were not screwed in all the way, but that was an easy fix.
The lume is INSANE, lol. The best lume in my collection until now was on the Seiko 5M43, but the lume on the Thorn is way, way better.

This watch is indeed very good. You remind the internal sound because the internal optimization of the case is not good enough, and the movement is not optimized because of the cost. I am also the owner of this watch, please forgive me if I harass you.

Remove name and make logo a bit bigger !! My surname is Thorn but i would buy a sterile if avaliable 🤣🤣

Yeah would be much nicer

Looks really nice. Can't get past the text logo. If they just removed the text and kept the logo it would be great.

Tudor had a very similar font back in the day. Also, the house of Tudor's symbol is a rose. Pretty clever of Thorn, IMHO.

Leagues better than the comic sans font they were rocking in the past.

Just ordered one. Can't wait to get it, just in time for vacation!

I just got mine today and it has the double-sided screws in the bracket links. This is a bad choice by Thorn as they are a Royal pain to remove so you can take it links. Does anyone have a solution for removing these pins that didn't include buying a $200 tool?

two screwdrivers

Thank you. That's exactly what I did

The logo is similar to an early templar cross !!

Link to a store? I can only find version without a date.

If that doesn't work for some reason, it was the Heimdallr Watch Store.

Thanks, it works!

Congrats on the new watch! This looks much better than the store listing photos.
