Considering grabbing a Sherwood Commander on launch

I've been looking for a decent colour-face watch that will look good as a more "dressy" watch for special occasions. It'll be my second big watch purchase.

This one caught my eye as, being from Nottinghamshire myself, I like the design and the fact that it pays subtle homage to the city.

Obviously it's a new microbrand, but it's got some good reviews (see here for example) and some nice specs - a Miyota 9039 Automatic movement and a double-dome sapphire crystal.

What do you guys think? Any words of caution/encouragement?

My first "proper" watch: Seiko 5 Sports "Fleiger"

I fell out of love with smart watches and decided to get a nice mechanical.

This came with a black Milanese strap which I swap out for a black sailcloth for regular use.

I've got the bug now: I want a quartz chronograph (love the Tissot PRC200), a colour face watch for occasions (I'm eyeing up the Sherwood Commander as it's a microbrand local to me) and I'd love a nice Farer watch as well.

It's gonna take time to save for all that though and I'll likely change my mind along the way.
