    This is only the second automatic I have ever bought, and the first from Farer. I received it a week ago (No.99), and I'm enjoying it. When I saw the dial, it was an instant love-at-first-sight deal.
    It's a very poppy watch without being too showy and vulgar (I also got the pink strap!).
    Customer service from Farer seems good - they sent the watch out when they said they would.

    I’ve been eyeing farer for a bit. Glad I stumbled into it. My next watch to collect was going to be a 36/37m gs or iwc but this, this is a strong contender.
    Looks beautiful

    • @theknightswatch

      Definitely punches fairly against the other competitors. Gs of course will be finished better but there sub 40mm options aren’t that great.

    Great review, great channel.
    The watch reminds me of the Kurono Toki. It's nice that smaller watches get back in style, especially for smaller wrists.

    • @theknightswatch
      @theknightswatch  Рік тому

      Definitely can see the kurono like style. I will say those case shapes to wear a little more comfortably/ feels nicer.

    Fine review. Thanks! All us broke collectors have ALWAYS wanted a Jump Hour but had to settle for caller type only. Enter the Miyota 9075. Ck Zelos and Traska also makes a True GMT. These are sub $700.00 USD. Waiting on my Zelos Mako V 3 GMT now. Meteorite dial….$629.00 USD.

    Pink to 11, nice! I'm surprised how much I like that case, I'm not a fan of the dial but for some reason that case shape just does it for me. Personally I'd put that on a royal blue strap, I have a bunch of salmon dials and that's just a combo that pops.

    • @theknightswatch
      @theknightswatch  Рік тому

      Can’t argue. It fits nicely, and agreed the blues work really well on this dial, just don’t have any royal blue in my strap collection at the moment haha.

      I was surprised too. Always liked the original gmt online and when the 36 came out in pink I ordered it immediately. But sometimes all that glitters isn’t gold!

  • @jaredstephenson6468
    @jaredstephenson6468 6 місяців тому

    GMT’s are my favorite but 36mm is too small for a GMT for me. Add to that the Arabic numerals, which again I love-it’s too crowded. Needs to be a 39 for sure. Love the pink, though.

  • @RasenRambo23
    @RasenRambo23 3 місяці тому

    I'd never use the GMT hand to track my local time zone when I travel as you suggest. That just invites trouble. You're jet lagged, tired, and you have to show up to places at critical times all while you have to remind yourself that the correct time is not shown the way you're used to reading it.
    I am honestly surprised that manufacturers can just call their watches GMT without making the office/travel distinction clear - they are very different complications and use cases.

    • @theknightswatch
      @theknightswatch  3 місяці тому

      I think if you get used to reading it a certain way it shouldn’t throw you for too much of a loop. But I understand for those who have always used a gmt one way and then transfer to another. Shock to the system

      @@theknightswatch Thanks for the response. You're right, that's especially an issue if you have both kinds of GMTs.
      You made a great video! I wish Farer and Christopher Ward could bring the Miyota 9075 to this 36 mm form factor.

    When I was looking at their new releases yesterday i went back to this collection which didn't really "grab me" when they came out, but i was kinda drawn to the Sea Coast version. I suppose i'm in the new summer watch mode, but I'm really glad i watched this video because it does seem to be a tad lacking considering the price ( I also hate perlage as well...so it's nice to have a friend) My other thought it might feel rather insignificant weight-wise on my wrist so If i did get one I'd get the milanese option. In the end I don't love the all polished case even though I love shiny things ...like a crow perhaps. In the end I'd probably get the Lander IV as that teal is my favorite color and you do get polished and brushed finishing. To your point about the hands...if they had made them differently it might have taken away one of the things that you like about the watch. it's non-Farer esque going overboard with color. i do think these are nicely restrained. I got a lot out of the video as always, so thank you.

    • @theknightswatch
      @theknightswatch  Рік тому +1

      Absolutely. I think this whole gmt series is just a case of I think I need this color so the watch isn’t too bad overall. Even for me who’s been looking for a pink watch forever, this isn’t it even if the color is great 🤷🏻‍♂️. With how well this case wears I don’t doubt the larger size would also fit nicely. Appreciate you watching and glad you got something out of it to help you a little 🙏🏻
