Thanks for watching - and catch you all soon!
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 🤞
Thanks Gareth! Yeah you're right - it is a very apt collaboration. Take care mate 👍👍👍
Good to see you back!
Thanks very much Sean! 😃🙌
A lot of very nice little design gems in one of the few watches that actually look better on wrist than off it. Beautiful Seikonda!
Seikonda! I love that! 😄 - Yeah it does look better on the wrist 😃👍👍👍
All the best mate
The UA-cam algorithm sent me. Great review. Great insight. The cat story had me laughing! Hope you recover fully and quickly.
That is really kind of you Mitch! Take care my friend 🤗
Always a joy to see your videos Nigel. You're looking good my friend. Very nice collaboration, and a very beautiful watch. Love the design and colors. Nice addition to your awesome collection. Thank you for sharing. Take good care and keep getting better. All the best. Cheers 👍
Thanks as always Rafael! I'm actually walking without crutches now. We're off for a coffee 'up town' in a bit - hopefully I'll last the distance 😄. Take care my friend and have a super weekend 🙌
@@SirWatchGeek Thank you Nigel. Enjoy the weekend 👍
Hello Nigel, great to have you back. Stay focused and your hip will get better - had one done in June, doing pretty good now. Take care.
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 😃👍
@@SirWatchGeek Try to keep doing your therapy and everything should get better. It does take time - hang in there and stay focused on recovery. Take care
Hey fella good to have you back keep the content coming buddy.......Please😁
Hiya Josh! Thanks mate - I'm already planning the next one 😁👍👊
Nice review, the photography was very good, I would never have known you used a phone. I didn't think much of the watch until you put it on wrist, then I got it 👍 . Good luck with your other hip!
Thanks mate! Very kind of you to say. The watch certainly isn't an 'all occasions' watch - but it definitely stands out. I do love it, I'll have to see just how often I wear it now 😄👍
I want the red and white version obviously. Preferably in 50cc but 90cc will do in a push.
Really nice looking watch thank you.
Thanks Jer! And thanks for watching 🤗
Loved it so much I went and bought one. Delivery in a few days, so will pop pics up on my Instagram soon.
Excellent Ray! Looking forward to hearing what you think 😃👍👍👍
That’s a beautiful watch Nigel. Honda Supercub is a really popular bike here in Sri Lanka
Thanks Chinthaka! I've done a lot more research on the Supercub since posting the video, and I can see now why it is so popular! Take care my friend 😃👍
Put a black tropic strap on my green and cream Super Cub to mimic the tires.
Great idea, Paul! I've put a brown leather strap on mine, but your suggestion is much better! 😀👍
If you fold the band to the outside vs the inside, you can see the honda logo.
Excellent tip! Going to try that right now 😄 Thanks mate 👍
Looks great. Feel better, buddy
Thanks mate! Appreciate that 😃👍
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.
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.
nice with a new video
Thanks Thomas!
You certainly don't look 58 Nigel, you must've done at one time, but not anymore! 👊✊✊👊😉
I actually laughed out loud at that John 😂👊✊👊✊
This is a killer line - I’ll use it as often as I can, thank you very much!
go away
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?
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 😃👍
Bello
Hi, do you know the strap size if you want to change the strap. Thanks
Hi. Yes - 22mm 👍
@@SirWatchGeek Thank you!
Hello, Mr. Cyborg, be healthy, shiny and chrome! Just wanted to get this out of the way before watching the rest of the video.
😄👍👍👍
Go strong mate 🦾
Thank you my friend 🙏
They've just released a new one in Man City colours?
What next, an A. Lange & Sohne "Beetle"? Second thoughts, perhaps a Maybach Merc collaboration!
😄👍👍👍
@@SirWatchGeek And,...get well soon Sir. Recommended, occupational therapy, that 1675!
@@johnwheat5199 Thanks John, and yes - one day....one day! 😄👍
Did these also come in black
It does indeed. I mention it and show it around the 05:20 mark in the review 👍
the strap is unnecessarily long
It is very long indeed! Someone else suggested folding the end outward instead of inward on itself - this reveals the Honda logo at the end of the strap and looks very neat! 😃👍
@@SirWatchGeek my brother bought it and the strap kills the look for me personally
