Another solid offering from Spinnaker.All the right specs, Seiko NH35, sapphire, decent lume, plus now on a good quality bracelet. Just don't go for the champagne coloured dial, OK?! Cheers, Jody
Whole heartedly agree with you J, black dial would have been preferable! Either way, I do appreciate this watch!
Jody thank you for this review. I ended up buying a blue dial on leather strap and this watch just makes you want to stare at it all day long. Pictures do not do it justice. Thanks again for showing us more new and interesting things.
H-link jody lol ..Excellent intro your up front attitude about sponsorship changes the whole feel of your channel in a very positive way ...love it
Thanks bro 🤟🤟🤟
Buy two for you and one for your granny 😃 ...you are so cool, you really are 👍 , that was the first laugh of the day for me, thank you for that...and for the review of course👍 .
Very Nice watch but I’ll stick with my Seiko SNHZ57 and give it sapphire upgrade👍
Steven Harper no sapphire needed at all. Hesalite is spot on this homage watch
First thing I'd do is yank out that dial and mod it with a Fifty-Five Fathoms dial for the SNZH5x. Nice H-link bracelet though.
Not sure why anyone would buy this watch to do that when you could just get an Invicta pro diver and do the same thing for much less money with the same exact movement. Kinda dumb idea...
Business Monkey because the Invicta is a Rolex Submariner style case design that also has “Invicta” engraved on the side of the case and a poor bezel and limited insert options, whereas the Spinnaker has a better bezel with an insert that is both lumed and reminiscent of the original Blancpain design. The only expense to make it a quality FF mod would be a dial and handset. The result would be a much better Fifty Fathoms homage than the Invicta.
@@stevenwymor1398 fair enough, good point. But what about the Seiko SNZH57... Would be cheaper and even better I think. Minimal changes needed. Hell, I'm considering it myself now... but you're right, Invicta would require too much effort to get not as close as this would, so I stand corrected.
Business Monkey yep, I’ve done three of them myself. But the SNZH5x runs on the 7S36 so you’d still have to throw in an NH3x to get hacking and hand winding. But it’s also a great starting point. And there are a few more insert options available.
@@stevenwymor1398 true, but you can find reasonably priced Sii NH35A movements online (roughly $35-50) so I think it'd still come out cheaper than this in the end, and definitely something I'm interested in looking further into. Roughly the same size as this too, though about 1mm thicker which isn't a deal breaker. The Spinnaker has a better bracelet than the Seiko though, by far, but that's not as important to me ... I'll probably end up throwing it on a nato anyway ... hmmm, guess there's always room for one more watch lol... Also, sorry if I was a dick in my first response with the whole "dumb idea" line... it's really not a bad idea at all... Cheers...
Just got mine - a blue dial on the water resistant leather bracelet - A one hell of a nice watch and would be an extra killer with an ETA 2824 or SW200 movement. Cannot go wrong with this one!
I enjoyed that shooting with Mr. X in Sydney, I mean outdoor. To me, as a Spanish, it is so exotic (I dream with visiting the Opera House).
No. I like the champagne dial.
That's a smart timepiece.
Them double pencil hands , always remind me of Panerai! They look great!
I just LOVE this watch, is simply gorgeous! Btw I wish it was a little bit smaller like the OG ones...
A very well done review.
I have an older Fleus from last year. I basically feel the same way about it. Mine has a black dial, fits the dial design much better.
Yes t would be nice if they offered the bracelet separately to older Fleus owners when beast to upgrade. I don’t like leather. I have mine on a Barton’s Elite Silicon
I’m normally a sucker for white dials, but the black one clearly fits the watch better here.
So Close To 100k Jody! I'm Very Happy For You!
Plus one for use of the word Girth. Pretty watch, but if I want a slight domed sapphire, good lume, 316 stainless case and an NH35, I'd just buy another Heimdallr for a smooth hundo less.
Really nice watch (well, would be with the black dial)! But why, oh why, are so many watchmakers still going so large? If it was a 40, even 41mm, I really think I'd buy it. But not for a watch that is so large, especially on my smaller wrist. Great video...always look forward to seeing your postings!
spinnaker really caught my eye with the look and price, I came across their watches at a mall and Immediately felt in love with one of their models and started following the newer brands watches.
I miss the other backdrop with the watch winders in the background😔there was something therapeutic about watching them wind as u spoke about the watch of the day.
Same.
Great news that spinnaker now has bracelet options and not just that god awful ”waterproof leather”.
I bought a first generation Spinnaker cheaply on eBay when new models were being introduced. Would be cool to get tipped off about where to buy close outs on old models! Agree that black dial would rock!
If you wanted a beater watch, this would be great. Highly regarded Borealis selling a similar homage for a hundred or so more. Only real problem - they need to make 40 or 41 their standard size rather than 42 and 43. 39 wouldn't go astray either.
Borealis is so much nicer.
For $300 bucks get a used Steinhart. Just scooped up my 3rd. $325 for a Ocean One Ceramic 42 . like new. Has to be. Original Gnomon receipt only dates from July 2 2019. Not even 30 days since purchased new. Deals are out there. ❤⌚👍
Thanks for a great review. Thanks for the laugh. I have the model with the dark blue face and it does not look to busy. I think the colour combination of the model reviewed added to the busy look.
It's a very good looking watch with great specs at an affordable range. 👍
Like the texture on on the dial. the black dual is more attractive to me. Good vid. Keep at it!
Absolutely adore that white dial !
Just got one from them, very fast shipping, very similar 50 fathoms. Love it Jody
I nearly wrote something negative about the dial, but, for this price, and, the spec there is really nothing to moan about. Not one for me, but, real value for money.
Had the Fluess in blue. I thought it was too big. The lume was weak. Overall just unimpressed. Sold it to fund a SARY. As always great review. When are you going to review the San Martin 62 mas? I got that one recently and I really like it.
Yes, im on the same boat with you, build quality is very good for me, but the lume is very weak, almost nothing
Mine last all night long! Or at least till 6am when i gotta get up. Thats a awesome watch for 200 $ !!!
@@MrLichev It's a horrible watch and the resale on Spinnakers are garbage. I had two. The Fluess and the Bradner. The lume on both was extremely weak. Glad you like it but I will never buy one again and I would not recommended them.
Ohh sorry guys, i was talking about the San Martin 62.
@@MrLichev That San Martin 62 mas has great lume and for the price I would definitely recommend. I already reviewed it and included a lume shot at the end.
I got a spinnaker and it is actually quite a fun watch and works great! Definitely a good deal for the money
I cannot believe your code still worked! I just bought one...
Leave the champagne color for proper dress watches in my opinion.
Not always a big champagne dial fan but I quite like this one.
Champagne and gold bezel would be gorgeous
I'd much rather a company send me a product in a plastic bag or cheap, plain cardboard box, if it means I'm going to be getting the product at a much cheaper cost. I don't care about the packaging, which I'm not going to use anyway. That being said, Spinnaker does a nice job with their packaging.
I wish the center link is polished, which will make it to the next level!
Another honest review. Nice work Jody.
I have a couple earlier spinnakers even through the video I can tell the upgrade in quality that they’re constantly improving which is a good thingNot that their old ones were bad just that these are better
Have been hearing a lot about this watch lately! Great review, Jody!
Jody you've probably been asked this question dozens of times but what do you do with all the watches you receive.
The phoebos and spinnaker are great watches at a similar price. Which one would you choose? I'm leaning toward the Phoebos, simply because I can get rolex style for an everyday watch. I don't want to wear my oris aquis, speedy moonwatch, or roli blnr batman on a regular basis. What say you eh... Spinnaker or Phoebas?
What, they send you the ladies version?
Great review, excellent take on the BP, they missed a couple of opportunities to finish it off perfectly but a great interpretation non the less....I would like to have seen them drop the name and use the sail, they are well enough established that we'd all recognise it, if you going to the trouble of creating a bespoke bracelet then go the whole hog, screws not push pins, there prices are great, an extra couple of bob on the price wouldn't make a huge difference....
The textured dial is superb but not in that colour, it needs a dark contrast, black, blue or green....
Another Great Review. Colour of the dial not my cup of tea but the Black as mentioned looks nice.
Nice review again Jody, I have the org. Bradner and a bronze Tesei I like them both, no issues.
Not convinced on this one Jody. But I will consider the coupon as I happen to be looking at Spinnakers just yesterday. Thanks, Jody!
I had one of these, loved the look, unfortunately the logo started to come off the the face and lots of play in the bezel. So I sent it back for repair, and 2 months later they sent it back saying they didn’t have the parts to repair it, so I had to send it back to amazon luckily I got my money back.
Glad you got your money back, that was definitely a dud as most other reviews I've seen suggest no play at all in the bezel, and very unusual about the Spinnaker logo coming off the face. Highly unlikely to happen again, as their quality control is usually very solid.
I just bought 2 for me and 3 for my granny!
You could do Lorier Neptune, Falcon or Hydra next :)
I have a Hydra from Lorier also, very good watch.
02:45 you said Fifty Five Fathoms ;)
Do manufatures not watch all these videos . Most states they prefer smaller. Why do they keep making big watches. I understand some people have big wrists but from all the comments we see at least make a smaller version or meet in the middle at say 40, 41.
Hello,
I have also a Fleuss the two tone Model with blue Dial and Bezel, this watch is real stunning. I Wear it on o black-red striped Nato and it is a fantastic watch for the Price. I can recommend it 100 %.
-
Painted rotor is a deal killer for me
Sometimes....I will buy the Fleuss. Fifty Fathoms design rocks!
I am a big Fifty Fathoms fan too. I own the previous version, of the Fleuss, that same on leather, and I usually wear it on a rubber ( toxic magnum from toxicnatos ), but occasionally throw it on a straight end engineer ( from strapcode ). It really is a great watch. I went with the navy blue and white hands. The Seiko SNZH is another good homage for about $150. The case shape is fantastic, and the blue one ( SNZH3 ) has an amazing dial.
@@JohnClarkW So I should check the blue Glossy
Looking forward to their Hull Chrono
The tissot s are nice too bro... they looking like a value buy
beautiful watch
That is truly a bonny watch but too big for me. Price is decent too.
Great vid as usual.
Thanks.
Could I ask what is your wrist circumference?
@@kp4551 Seven inch.
I like the Champagne Dial. How many more Black Dial Divers do we need in this world?
Great review.
Light colored face plus light colored hands equal nearly unreadable dial.
Granny said thanks anyway, but she needs more water resistance for her saturation diving.
Very nice watch I like it
Hey, I was wondering if you might consider looking at an Invicta again, maybe the 0379 II, or one of their Aviators, since I’ve been looking at them and they might be an opportunity to show that Invicta has a few more decent watches.
PLEASE get a Spinnaker Piccard in to review!!!!
Just curious if you tested the crystal. I know the Spinnaker website lists the watch as having sapphire, but does it 'ring the bell' on the Diamond Selector II? I have had watches that unfortunately turned out to be the dreaded "sapphire coated" and failed to be sapphire, too late for my pocketbook.
Another great review Jody. Not a massive fan of the fifty fathoms really, yea yea there’s the history etc. but not a looker in my book. Fraid to say that this isn’t either then. There are just a ton of others that are nicer from bigger brands and micros.
Since you have had watches from Kickstarter and reviewed them in the past I would like to hear your opinion on the SOVRYGN watch and it's concept in general.
Funny, I actually dislike the custom rotor on Spinnakers as it looks like an applied sticker which looks cheap IMO. Thanks for the review!
That dial is just awful. Yellow? A black dial would look nice I believe. I would like to see that. I think the watch price should have a 9000 series Miyota movement with 28,800 VPH. You can get a 50 dollar dare I say Invicta with the NH35 for 50 to 60 dollars. Nice review Jody. Spinnaker is really pumping out watches this year.
Very nice looking watch and an interesting style to it! Thanks for the review.
Just curious as well - where did you get that wall clock?! It's gorgeous!
Black dial for me to Jody
Jody- I know it’s not apples to apples but how would you compare value for Money, this Spinnaker to the Seiko SNGH57 ?!?
Why do you have a black dial in the thumbnail an a white in the video?
Cuz he ain't racist
The Fleuss caught my attention since the beginning. Unfortunately it's too big.
The dial looks like popcorn ceiling.
Very nice review. Free Enterprise in action.
Good lookin' piece.
Which one would you recommend the Cahill or the Fleuss???
I've hit peak dive watch and it's not bringing anything new to the table, so not for me. I'll await your review on the Hull Chronograph, which I trust Spinnaker will send to you shortly as I suspect thats where my watch fund will directed to next.
Wow Thats a Beauty for the money...
This is OT but I notice on the blancpain vintage the nato is too small, I also noticed this on a James Bond recently. Are we doing it wrong? Could we be cooler?
I like it.
Nice. Colour sucks though. And as said before Ive bought Spinnaker before and been stuck with a £40- $50US FED EX import tax into th EU so beware.
FedEx pays the import tax for you to speed up the import process, for convenience, and then of course asks you to repay them, but it's not a "FedEx Tax".
Can you put a video up showing your HELLO! bloopers
Your last upload was taken down ? The Scottish Acura wayfarer?
Unfortunately the watch is not available ☹️
Love channel hi from scotland Jody
That dial color would be killer if the hands and indices were outlined in black instead of gold.
10:40 ... $350 for the metal bracelet ... $285 is for the leather ... OIC.... with 20% discount it's $280 that's pretty good
Long Island Watch sells the one on leather for $228, but the don't carry it on stainless, yet.
Any idea where to score the bracelet if you have the older model on a leather strap?
I would buy if they sell bracelet alone.
Hi Jody, can you please do a review of the new Pagani design watch with ref: PD1639?
Much watch for the dollar!!
Would you like to review a Marathon TSAR? I put mine for sale but to hell, maybe if someone would like to review it, i'd just keep it!
Wish.com is currently selling a hug bunch of knockoff Seiko, Orient, U Boat etc watches. Would really like to see a video of how to spot a fake...
HEEEELLLLLOOOOOOO!!!!!!! Nice Bracelet by the way!
Love this channel...i unfortunately am very hard on both watches and glasses. Have broken/lost over 30 pairs of sunglasses and prescrip glasses and managed to destroy countless watches. I have come to buy my sunglasses as Wall mart (sporting good section) UV fishing style for $4 each!!. ( 3-4 pairs at a time)
Watching this channel i have decided on a few $80 good looking Chinese models that when i eventually break them will not cause me pain a grief as did my early 80's high school Seiko grad gift, a vintage Hamilton that the strap/pin popped while my arm was out the window and was left somewhere on the Pennsylvania turnpike. I turned to $15 Armatron's but at times one wants something a bit more elegant, professional, and stylish so it looks like Cadisen and Loreo are targets here. In my situation and history with watches, even $500 for watch is just a costly accident waiting to occur.
I like the Bradner much better
If it had a ceramic bezel insert I might be into this watch...but plastic?
Before I could ever make this purchase I need more specs on that insert. Fall down on my bicycle once and it's ruined!
Where do you buy that rolex clock?
