    Wise makes some incredibly beautiful and incredibly well built watches for the money. For *under* $1,000usd this is absolutely worth it. This in this exact rootbeer(ish) color way will be added to my collection. I can't wait to see your full review after you've worn it for some time. Thank you.

      Doomed……we are doomed. Tiny, little hands in a tiny, little machine. Any decent Physicist will confirm…..time is NOT a thing(y). Doomed……watch collectors are doomed. BUT, when all this hatred and fear, and violence going on….man, I think about my little collection and I’m better :-) Great hobby!

    What a beauty. I have checked for the “new generation” GMTs offered by microbrands. This is definitely a great choice for my collection in a short run. Happy to listen from your comments after several days or weeks wearing it. Thank you for the great video.

  • @vonkruel
    @vonkruel 7 місяців тому +6

    That's pretty cool that they include the right kind of Loctite (222 I believe) for the screws. WISE has become one of the more interesting micro-brands for me. If I wanted a flyer GMT I'd choose the Miyota 9075, and it would probably come down to WISE vs. Jack Mason. I'd love to have a 904L watch in my collection, and there I'd be choosing between BALL and WISE.

    I have the Wise in 904L steel (what Rolex uses) and upgraded movement and it's probably best deal going in microbrands.

    This GMT looks like it sits in your wrist, like my father, in his old Lazy Boy Recliner. This was such a solid review on this GMT and its Wise brand. I have recently discovered this brand, a few days ago.
    After this review, I have even more of an appreciation for this Tech-spec' packed Beauty!! It actually has an ORIGINAL design! I am really happy you placed it next to your sweet AF Sub'. Further visual proof, ZERO clone. It absolutely, makes your Sub' look boring. 😆
    This will make an excellent addition to my humble collection. Thank You!

    Very good looking watch. Really like the whole design and the dial is interesting. It's understandable that the GMT hand is just hitting the inner ring. Well worth the price. Only things I'd add is some taper on the bracelet, and a nice engraved caseback. The Miyota isn't really worth displaying. The lume is very impressive. I do like a good lume performance. Thanks for the video ! Look forward to seeing more about this watch.

    Wow. Saw the one with the gold bezel. Ordered one. Interesting tactic they use though, $200 off first time you try adding it to your cart. Next time, less discount. I noticed if I go back now it's $1540, not $1,500.

  • @kushing80
    @kushing80 6 місяців тому +1

    I'm guessing it's not glue but Loctite, which is something that bands like Sinn do also provide. It's a nice touch nevertheless.

    Lovely watch, I own a Wise and they are great watches..But..if your buying form the UK don’t forget to add 20% to the price…it make the value proposition a little tighter ino, ..but still a lovely watch and maybe still good value with the additional 20%

  • @Maurice181
    @Maurice181 2 місяці тому +1

    The "ADX" version showing on their website DOES NOT look the same as the watch you are showing. Their ADX shows a copper color metal surrounding around the dial markers and the hour/minute hands, and the date window. The watch you are showing does not seem to have the copper surrounds... which has the effect of making the watch look much cleaner, crisper, and more expensive. What happened..??

  • @merkhadia6370
    @merkhadia6370 7 місяців тому +1

    I think for under 1k, this watch is worth it to buy. Its a GMT,looks luxury enough and that dial is simple i really like it. Unlike some gmt watch there's so many number on the dial which make it looks messy, well that's my opinion about this😅. Thanks to this channel, i just learn about this brand today.

    Ive started a collection of watches under $1000. Every box is either a different size or not rectangular, and its getting annoying because you cannot stack them on top of each other nor can you shelve them like books. Its more ridiculous if you want to see the box before buying it, right? im looking for a box maker where i can buy 50 boxes, stack them like books and pick one box off the rack when i want one for a particular event. Is that sensible?

    I'm pretty much in agreement with you, but ultimately have to say that I far prefer the design of the AD8. Nkt that this is badly done. Not at all. I prefer it to the Rolex, but the additional time zone with a pretty promounced bezel makes it all quite busy for my taste. I woudl tend to agree, though, that probably the AD8 would be even better with just a couple of brushed accents. That would really finish it off 8n accordance with its genre, as they did on the bronzes. Except for that, arguably the only thing I prefer on this ADX is the hour hand. I'm perfectly fine with AD8's hour hand, but knowing it could have been shaped like this, I think that would be even better. I also very much like the crown guards here, but they wouldn't be right on the AD8. I guess, for me, I wouldn't decide to swap watches just to have differentiating finish from a brand, but then you seem quite enthusiastic about all the ADX represents.
