    I love my Super Cub. I didn’t even know it was a motorcycle when o saw it. It reminded me of miniature golf when I first saw it 😂 I liked it and I bought it. The NATO Strap it comes with is really comfortable.

    Great review as always SWG! I really like the look of these. And the Honda Cub seems like a very appropriate collaboration with the humble Seiko 5.
    Glad you’re on the mend from your first hip surgery and hope the second one goes well too 🤞

      Hi mate. Thanks for that! I trust all went well with your op then? Are you back to full movement? I didn't know what to expect - it's been 4 weeks now for me, I can walk now without crutches (with a bit of discomfort), and getting better by the day, but still lacking in movement range. I think I'm just being impatient!
      Take too too my friend 😃👍

    If you fold the band to the outside vs the inside, you can see the honda logo.

    just watched almost all of your videos - subscribed! all very well done! gonna pick up 2 sugess watches you reviewed, and short listed the bulova devil diver, and seiko sports srpd that you also reviewed! i recently sold off a very nice Breitling barnato 42 and told myself i just will not spend that much for a watch again and will just add to my collection of cheapies! :) some cheapies you may want to check out - time Q chrono, timex waterbury dive chrono . one watch i would like to see a review on would be the sugess chrono heritage s423 - looks like a nice watch.

    • @SirWatchGeek

      Hi Will! Thanks very much for your kind words my friend. You’ve made some great choices there! I’m sporting my £60 Casio Duro today - love it just as much as some of my more costly watches!
      Love the Timex Q chrono - right up my street. The Sugess S423 is interesting as well - a bit pricey but certainly well spec’d and looks the part.
      Let me know which other ones you finally go for, and what you think of them.
      Take care mate! 😃🙌

    Expected to see you operate the movement in a review, especially one this long. The day wheel has 2 languages, right? Does the crown screw down? I don't think it does. I see that the rehaute isn't well lined up in yours.

    Hi, good video but I got one yesterday and my orange markers don't glow in the dark like yours. Was it a trick of the camera?

    • @SirWatchGeek
      @SirWatchGeek  Рік тому

      Hi Michael! I've just gone and done another test - they are definitely lumed, just not as bright as the rest of the lume on the watch. It wasn't a camera trick, but the automatic exposure may have compensated a little perhaps. Give it another go - it's particularly visible in a completely darkened room.
      Hope you're enjoying it sir! And thanks for your comment 😃👍
