Screwdriver, Spring Bar Tool and Potential Strap Pairings:
Wera 1.2mm Screwdriver - This is my go to for bracelet adjustments. Very inexpensive and high quality. I recommend keeping a couple on hand: amzn.to/3jQV6pj
(Recommend watching this video with sizing tips - • How to Easily Size Wat... )
Alternative Screwdriver - If the above version is sold out, this Wera is great too, just a little bit more expensive - amzn.to/3spF2ho
Bergeon Spring Bar Tool - amzn.to/3O0xqM7
Helm Canvas Strap - Excellent quality and sufficient rigidity for heavier watches. Highly recommend and several colors and 20/22mm available: amzn.to/3ddWD60
Ritche Canvas Strap - Many colors and sizes: amzn.to/3vyo4PO
Helm FKM Rubber Strap - Another fantastic bang for buck offering from Helm. Available in several colors and 20/22mm: amzn.to/3fKK438

Great review :) as usual. I will be waiting to see if they release some "Grand Seiko" birch in the future, like the new Endeavours
Thank you! That birch style dial is sweet! Cheers
The casebacks of RZE don't have the hardness coating. On my Resolute, the caseback started to pick up scratches within minutes, not that it bothers me. But it gives an idea of how scratch prone Ti actually is. Let's face it: this watch is meant for the bigger wristed guys. It pretty much looked oversized on your wrist and the same will apply to my similarly sized wrist. Personally, I prefer Zelos's approach to create a "smaller big watch".
Agreed, it's past my comfort zone and preferences (and objectively I think it's too big for me). I prefer the Zelos proportions as well, though I know many larger wristed folks complain it wears too small and this should fit the bill nicely for them. Cheers
I like everything about this watch! If (when) it becomes available with an orange dial, my order will go in. I really hope it happens.
They've offered orange with the Endeavour, so it's definitely a possibility! Cheers
Love RZEs but this one is just going to run too large for my taste. Big fan of the easy bezel swap feature, hoping they'll add that feature into future endeavour models. Caseback for both of my RZE watches does not have hardness coating seems like a conscious decision across the model lines.
Agreed on all counts. Cheers
If this was offered in a 40~41 mm version, they could have had my money
I'm with you, definitely too big for me. But, this was intended to be something for the big watch fans since their others are all in the 39-41mm range. Cheers
@@JonathanTReviews but I'm guessing this is their first cushion watch design, and it's really nice
The original Valour chronograph was a cushion style. I did a review a while back on it.
I think the black and white dials are nice but too vanilla for me. Now that you pointed out the screws in the bezel, it does bug me a bit. If I was to pick one up, it’ll have to be the meteorite dial. What size is your wrist John?
The Meteorite version should be sweet! The screws aren't a huge deal, but the 6 o'clock visibility is less than ideal. The others are only noticeable when you look and don't bother me (assuming the default orientation). My wrist is ~6.5". Cheers
@@JonathanTReviews I will have to watch your review a couple of more times to see if I can get over the screw at 6. Size wise, it should fit nicely on my 7" wrist. Thanks for sharing!
It's honestly not that noticeable/bothersome IMO, just one of the finer details that isn't ideal. Agreed, you should be good, especially if your wrist is fairly flat. Happy to help! Cheers
@@JonathanTReviews Just placed my order. Couldn't resist. Now the wait begins...😃
Awesome! Let me know what you think once you get it. Cheers
