I have just purchased the watch and I’m absolutely delighted with it, The dial is very classy, colourful, yet muted at the same time, it looks great in person, I also really like the unusual navy rotor and the engraved sides to the watchcase, beautifully done.
They make some of the coolest chronograph designs in the watch game. They really can complement a collection and add some color variety! Thanks for watching and the comment!
Glad someone did a video on this watch. A big thank you! Fact check - the Seagrave has a telemeter scale not a tachymeter scale. Also, what’s your wrist size? The Cobb looks good on you. I only ask because I have a 16 cm wrist.
Good review! Have had my Cobb Mono for a couple of weeks now and it is a fabulous watch and really is as good as it looks judging from the number of compliments I've received on it. The dial really pops next to my other watches and, dare I say it, makes them look a tad boring. Movement working really well but one minor thing I've noticed is that, and I don't know if its a SW510 issue as I've had the same problem on a Chris Ward C65 Chrono with the SW510, I find that you have to set the minute hand about 30 seconds or so in advance as when you push the crown back in it seems to take 30 seconds or so before the minute hand takes up the slack and starts moving....I've not experienced that on other movements. I understand the comment on the bracelet quality - comparatively, it's not as good as, say, the Christopher Ward bracelet and I've found the fold over clasp lock can come undone unexpectedly. That said, it's ok for the cost and worth having as an OEM standby when I get bored with the strap.
Thanks for watching the review! I've noticed the minute hand thing on this as well...I have a Doxa sub 200 that does the same thing, but those are the only two watches I've seen this happen
Thank you for reviewing this watch. I've been considering this one as well. Looking at the drawings on their website, I was concerned about the thickness - in particular how far out the caseback protrudes. It looks like it really lifts the lugs up off the wrist. However, it looked like it was sitting quite nicely on you. What is your wrist size?
Apologies for the late reply! My wrist is 7.25in...I would say it sits really snug on the wrist. It's because the strap is allowed to go straight down. If you find a really good pliable strap you will not have a problem. The Farer straps are actually really nice
Thanks for watching! The only speedy I know you can even get close to at that price is a vintage MKII, maybe an automatic speedy but those are closer to $2.5-$3k range from what I’ve seen on the market. Montblanc is selling the same Monopusher movement practically by Selita for $5200USD.
Great video! I’m visiting the Farer studio in the morning, this watch is very much on my radar!!
That’s awesome! Would love to hear how the studio was!
This will be my 4th Farer. I plan on ordering it with the bracelet, but you have also convinced me to go with the green strap. And great review.
Thanks for watching! They have been on a consistent win streak, especially with their chronographs.
Beautiful watch!
Thank you for this review. I've been considering this timepiece for quite some time and I definitely like it more now.
It’s a beautiful watch! Glad you enjoyed the review

I am so waiting to buy this piece. Thank you for that review as it helped me to make the decision.
Thank you for watching! Would love to hear your thoughts once you pull the trigger!
So happy someone made a video with this piece. Great video and I love that strap with it too. It’s exactly how I’d get mine.
That’s for watching! I appreciate strap combos that don’t sound like they’ll work on paper but look great on the wrist!
Love it just wish it was smaller and thinner.
I love the look of these watches

Bought one today! Your video was a big help thank you!
Congratulations and glad I could help with the decision! It's a beautiful timepiece. Farer use of colors is unmatched in the Microbrand space.
How do you like it so far? :)
@@siarez it’s a great watch. There’s no other dial like it out there for the money IMO!

Hey! Thanks for watching and apologies for the delay.
I’m a 7.25in wrist which I believe is about 19-19.5cm.
Good call on the telemeter scale!
Love, Farer, design language and quality
They’re becoming a major player. Love that they’re bold enough to try new designs and colorways
Great video, thank you for posting it! I think I need this watch...
Thank you for watching! It’s a stunning piece for a fair price
I appreciate this in depth and honest review. Thank you.
Thanks for watching! Hope you found it helpful.
Nice shots on the wrist bro.
Thank you 🙏🏽

Great review! Farer makes great watches

I like the lug to lug and seems very cool. What would be the weight of the case+ strap option here ?
On the leather strap I have it on you’re looking at 102g total weight.

What stores carry the farer watches ? The Cobb mono pusher looks great
Thanks for watching!
I’m not sure if they’re sold in stores, I believe they only sell on their website
The worry I have is £1700 fro a farer? I can pick up a speedy second hand for that.
Thanks for watching!

The music in the background is VERY annoying.
Thanks for the feedback!
