Audio Review - Alcadus Opus 39

In this Audio Review, Andrew and Mike kick around their thoughts on the Alcadus Opus 39. Available for pre-order via the Alcadus website now, the Opus 39 features a unique twist on the pilot watch (nay GADA watch). As always, hard to do this watch justice via words alone, but the photos in Mike's written review (link below) should make things CRYSTAL clear. Pre-order prices currently at $627 via acladus.com. Enjoy!
