I got one a year ago in bronze with blue dial and bezel. The lume on the dial is almost a joke but for a couple of minutes it looks very nice. The bezel is metallic, aluminum I think, a very good looking watch not so a recognizable homage. Good video and review.
The idea of the lume on the dial was good but could have definitely been executed a little better. I’m glad to hear that you’ve got one mate - enjoy 👍👍
Just got my Blue sea turtle titanium. I ordered it on December 15...it is now March 5th. It has been a nightmare! Customer service was never honest with me about the hold up. Several points. The watch I received did not come in the nice leatherette case...just cardboard (although it was very nice cardboard!). The blue in Boderry's stock photos is MUCH lighter than the actual color. To me, the hands are not quire thick enough. The minute and hour hands can be almost indistinguishable at times. The good stuff: I was wearing my Orient Kamasu when the Boderry arrived. I slipped it on and the difference was amazing. It did not even feel as if I was wearing a watch. The difference in weight is very noticeable. The FKM strap is terrific. As noted in the review, it s soft and pliable but not squishy. Much better than regular rubber and silicone and it is quick release. To appease my frustrations with the delays, they threw in another (black) FKM strap.. It is a very nice looking watch. I bought it directly from Boderry for $107 total. Bottom line, not a perfect watch but for the price I'm happy with tt.
Sorry to hear about your experience mate, that is way too long for postage and I really can’t make any excuses for that. The watch is a great proposition for the money - enjoy 👍👍
I've had my eye on this one for a while. From the online renders, I was hoping this watch would be a little lighter in tone. It is advertised as "Sea Blue" but yours looks navy blue to me. It still looks like a well made watch.
Nice review. I wonder what increase in price we'd see with improved lume application, but most importantly, a full proper nice titanium bracelet. Ti is a lovely material, and interest in a Ti case would assume interest in a corresponding bracelet.
Both are great recommendations mate and given the addition of the Titanium bracelet on their Voyager watch, I don’t think it’s beyond the realms of possibility that they release one for this, watch this space 👍👍
This and the Voyager both great watches. I was waiting to hear what you said about the bezel. This would be solved if they made it out of steel. As it is, I think it’s still a great buy. Thanks as always.
I was a bit dubious about this at the price but picked one up out of interest. It's fantastic, great looking with a slim profile and a decent strap. Couldn't ask for more for the money.
I recently bought the bronze model. The crown pulled completely out of it. They sent me a second one and the ccrown is defective on it. Now they're suggesting I don't know how to use an auto diver. Don't buy one.
Really sorry to hear that mate. I think they’re probably more struggling with the fact that 2 watches had the same problem, which in now way is your fault either. They are releasing a really cool new Admiral GMT watch, so don’t be too hasty as at the moment, for the money, it looks out standing 👍👍
Sorry to hear that mate. I do know there were some serious problems with the postal service and that they were very sorry for any inconvenience caused, as I spoke to them. I completely understand your frustration though 👍👍
Nice looking watch. I've got a seiko solar chronograph with a red honeycomb dial which looks stunning in sunlight. Quite similar to this.
I know the one you’re speaking about and I can see what you mean. Thanks for watching mate 👍👍
@@WatchtheTime Seiko SSC771P1
I got one (the blue) a few months ago. Absolutely love it. So comfortable, you forget its on your wrist! Very well made.
Nice one mate. I’m pleased to hear you are enjoying yours 👍👍

It is definitely more of a navy blue as you say. For the money, it’s certainly a very good option mate. Thanks for watching 👍👍
Sea blue is a dark turquoise blue. I just bought one.
I just received mine and it's definitely navy blue
@jasons.298 nice one mate - enjoy 👍👍
Great value and nice to see it isn't just a straight homage. Good review 👍
It sure is mate and as you say, makes a nice change not to see a straight up homage watch 👍👍
Absolutely brilliant and honest review as ever, and really like the watch 😊
I appreciate that mate and am happy you like the watch too 👍👍
Thanks for the review. I got my sea turtle recently and think it is a great value!
Ah nice one man. Am really pleased you’re enjoying it, it’s a cracking watch 👍👍

They are both very good, well made and affordable watches, no doubt mate 👍👍

I’m glad you like it mate and I can completely understand why, for the money it’s an absolute cracker 👍👍
good video 😊
Thank you my friend 👍👍
Just ordered one
Nice one man - enjoy 👍👍
👍
I’m glad you like it mate 👍👍
Great video and a nice watch but i dont like TITANIUM Watches.
Fair enough mate. Titanium watches aren’t for everyone 👍👍

Back cover is steel and not titanium.
No problem. Many thanks for the info mate 👍👍
Boderry took 18 days to ship a voyager off their website and a month total to get it to me. Burn me once...
