This is a really great looking watch, with a sumptuous dial. Love the signed markings on the crowns, and the specs are really nice. I think that for me though, the price is certainly not cheap. There are many watches of this kind of quality appearing popping up in this price range; its becoming an incredibly competitive in this sector of the market. I find it sad that many microbrands are now pitching watches just below the £1,000 mark, or closer to $1,500 (with taxes and import duties), that I simply cannot consider as these as being affordable any longer. Brands such as San Martin offer truly outstanding quality watches for under $500. Microbrands (which are often made in China, except for their movements) are increasingly moving out of reach. Microbrands used to genuinely affordable, now they're at prices similar to the Swiss brands. Maybe that's why I've seen a lot of microbrands disappearing or shutting up shop lately. Under Trump everything is going to get far more expensive, and world economies are going to be hit; a lot of folks will inevitably have less money to spend on watches, sadly. Microbrands may want to think about more affordable options, if they're going to ride out the next 4 years; just saying.
Designed and screwed together in the UK, but I bet the parts other than the movement are produced in China. I would have preferred to see the watch on a bracelet, and am disappointed the crowns don't screw down.
Great looking watch, I love the compressor style. Beautiful dial, and I love this style of hands, semi-skeletonized, that makes them "fat" but not fat at the same time, and very legible. My "cons" would be the name, and the case shape that makes it less receptive to different straps, but mostly the price. My Berny compressor was
Some good points. I think the price is rather fair considering the quality, much better than many microbrands. I think when it comes to the Aliexpress, Microbrand debate I find it easier to separate the two but I get the point
I really appreciate your efforts! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?
Extremely poor contrast /legibility on the bezel. The strap looks like it has already begun to warp away from the case. The strap just looks cheap. Where’s the integrated bracelet? The slab of a case is crude and brutalist, totally at odds with the delicate non-kaleidoscopic guilloche dial. This watch appears to be worth half of its price.
That one is a 9 on a 10 scale!🏆anything tiff blue is coo!
Glad to see you agree! Beautiful watch and the touches of personality just add to that
@@JasonTheWatchGuy that’s a key word in decision buying! Great narrative…..
Tis gotta have personality!👍
@mauricesoulis1590 especially when we get to this area of pricing. Thanks for watching mate 👍
This is a gorgeous diver, Jason. Absolutely beautiful, fantastic specs, and outstanding quality. Thank you for sharing 👍
Couldn't agree more! Should definitely have much more press around it

I'd never heard of the brand, but that is a bit of a banger 🎉
Absolute killer, especially with the value for what's on offer
Looks like a fine piece Jason! The sky blue color is pretty nice too!
Agreed, I love the sky blue!

That's some looker that mate.
Up the negative footy blues grabbing a scabby point.
As long as we get points on the board I don't care at this point 😅

Bro, I buy watches instead of food, I'm the last guy to ask financial advice 😅
This is a promising piece but it needs some rework on the fonts chosen and the printing in general

Is this a joke ? Seriously, the printing on the face is so poor.
Not my cup of tea 🤔
Looks cheap to me
Sure 🙄
