    Good day to all the other watchmakers and enthusiasts out there. Another entertaining video, your camera work and editing etc. just keeps getting better. I must admit I am glad to hear you are splitting the watch review from repairs. I come here for your take on things related to restoring watches. Especially Seiko. I finally got a 6139B, my first chronograph. Your tutorials and links to parts and inspection documents was amazing. Love what you do on the Tube. Thank you so very much!! ❤🤓🇨🇦

      Thank you. I have a second channel for reviews up and running now but I have one or two videos left to do on the main channel that I had agreed to. After that other than maybe tools or something similar I won’t be reviewing watches on this one.

      @@MyRetroWatches I think that is a very good idea. Your knowledge of abrasives really brings a shine ✨ to your restoration videos and the tool and techniques are always appreciated for the newer crowd I am sure. The older crowd can also pick up tips and tricks and that’s the part that’s not in the books. Your experience along will honest trial an error moments sets you apart. I will do my best to share your new channel with the folks I know.
      Cheers,

    I'm with you, the malachite dial is the standout here . The GMT complication I can take or leave, but the dial really pops.

    G'Day Young Mike, Good to see ya. - What a lovely PHOIBOS GMT watch & with a SEIKO movement too - For the first 14 minutes I was loving it but then you announced it's cost.
    Oh well, you can't have everything in life eh. Cheers Mate.

    • @MyRetroWatches
      @MyRetroWatches  Рік тому +1

      Sadly costs are rising on everything not just Phoibos . In the sale when it was. I think just over $300 I think it was a good buy

  • @SideWalkAstronomyNetherlands

    Nice movement, print stays crisp under magnification, they put enough work into it. So it's worth the money... I just bought a 2 € watch, bought a 4 € battery, and a 12 € NATO strap...which was too short, as usual :( Had to melt extra holes into it.. Watch looks nice, and it works, if I had the money I'd buy a Zeppelin Flieger watch :) Or a Seiko with thin hands, and sharp indicators and no extras, just the date, and the time.

  • @SideWalkAstronomyNetherlands

    :) It is very green though..

    Pls help ?? I want to buy this gmt model but its nowhere to be found
    On the official site, there is only version with 12 hours black bezel.
    Where can i buy this gmt with gmt hand model ?
    Thanks

    Loving the Malachite but there is something i quite dont like about the bezel insert. Might be the standart looking font together with the high gloss . Just looks aliexpress cheap.

    Where do you get something like this serviced? Can it be serviced? Love the yellow option, and with 20% off right now, i'm very tempted.

    • @MyRetroWatches
      @MyRetroWatches  Рік тому

      It’s a Seiko NH34 movement so it’s fully serviceable. Or it can be replaced at a later date cheaply.
      The joy of Seiko movements are they are affordable.
      If you purchase use my link below in the description and my discount code and we will then both benefit

    Odd choice to have the gmt hand in green. Seems like a miss to me on that point, but otherwise beautiful

    • @MyRetroWatches
      @MyRetroWatches  Рік тому

      It is a bit odd but not a deal breaker for me but only because I don't use the GMT function.

  • @rayharrison6400
    @rayharrison6400 Рік тому

    Nice enough dial, but a bit too busy for my liking. Too much green. I think a 100% black bezel would look better and open the face more, making it less busy.

    I wonder if I'm the only one who doesn't like GMT watches. 4 hands on a watchs feels a bit much in my opinion. Love that malachite dial and, hands and hour markers though.

  • @WrightsW5

    Great looking watch, but the price is severe!!! For an NH35 movement and a bracelet with not enough fine adjustment notches. Regular dial, £80 would be good, malachite, £90.

    • @MyRetroWatches
      @MyRetroWatches  Рік тому

      You could not produce this for £90. It’s an NH34 for a start which costs a lot more. The quality is as good as any seiko for its build and solid steel finishing. How can a company make profit to design and bills this and ship it anywhere in the world for £90 ?

      @@MyRetroWatches My experience, in 2018 I bought a Binger Max Bill homage with NH35, £67.01, excellent quality watch and bracelet, especially nice bracelet. These watches currently £72.14. In November 2022 I bought a Tudor Ranger homage with NH35, £99.59, excellent quality watch, bracelet great, screw in removable link pins. I used to have a Seiko diver, upper £100+, maybe £160, yellow dial bold looking, rubber strap, 4R36 movement, I think it was, but Seiko's own watch version of the NH35, can't remember what year I got that one. I have always thought of the NH35 as a common everyday movement, nothing high end, but good, nothing wrong with them at all.

      @@MyRetroWatches I can see the NH34 movement as low as £36.36 retail, they are usually a few tens more, but there are these lower prices from some sellers.
      Edit, I looked at some trade prices, some doing 10 pieces for around £31 each or similar. Lowest I saw, 1000 or more pieces for £29 each.

    Might be different in real life but the date looks a little hard to make out.

    • @MyRetroWatches
      @MyRetroWatches  Рік тому

      No it is hard to make out.
      I like they are modifying date wheels as it’s not just a standard movement but they have used some dark colours on a few models now and they always seem to be hard to see.
      Had the numbers been white I think it would be legible
