So just a few observations, if I may.
The picture on the video title shows the Devil Diver GMT. That’s not the one you’ve reviewed so I’m kinda wondering why that is. Especially as the GMT version is the true GMT Miyota 9075.
It’s also worth noting that the bracelet and particularly the clasp on this version is also far superior, although the one you’ve got on the thumbnail is the full lume dial which comes on a rubber strap, not a bracelet.
Ah well, please forgive me for my nitpicking and anality!
Keep up the good work. All the best. 🙏🏻
@@endlessrage4062good catch! Looks like we uploaded the wrong file, thanks for bringing it to our attention
An iconic vintage design. It's models like this or the Lunar Pilot, Parking Ticket, Precisionist, Accutron, that keep this brand above the fashion tier. But they cut corners on the crystal, movements and the bracelets. Right out of Tag Heuer's playbook. I like your honesty in the review. Absolutely agree that the retail price is too much.
@@TheSociologySpot that's a pretty spot on comment regarding Bulova IMO. Just have to know what you're getting into, IMO
@@TheSociologySpot also just want to add that I appreciate your comment about honesty. We really try to show things on a level ground and let folks know that just because is or isn't for us doesn't mean it is or isn't for them. Also, to date we've only done one review of something we sell in our store, but talked about that before the review started. We won't review anything we are "given" as that can skew the perception IMO. Nothing against channels that operate that way, I really just think when money is departing you for a product it changed your expectations.
I have the orange dial re-issue version. I agree the retail price is way too high. You can generally get them heavily discounted or sale price that can justify buying this. I love mine.
