Hi 👋🏼 Great video! I was wondering if you came across the 90-008 with a black dial in the store? They only sell that version in the store in kyoto.
I would love to know if its possible to shop tax free at there store in kyoto too?
I would love to own an eco-drive but somehow I never come across one I really like. I am quite into late 60s, early 70s retro I for the moment they don't do that with eco-drive...
#34_VeryNiceWork_ContentValue_Win4All_Thankyou🚬🇺🇸
I bought an AGELOCER Turbillon. It took 28 days to arrive and when it did it was running several hours a day fast. I checked and it's not magnetized. I sent their customer service and video of it and they replied with this Thank you for providing your order number and the video. Based on our initial assessment, there doesn't appear to be a significant quality issue with the watch. If there's a large time discrepancy, it may be due to the watch being impacted during transport, which could have displaced the balance spring speed regulator clamp. "We recommend taking it to a local watch repair shop for calibration. We can cover $20-$30 of the repair costs as compensation. Please let us know how you would like to proceed!" Thing is, I don't have a local watchmaker and I can't find anyone who will even look at a Turbillon. They said it could send it back for repair but that would cost $169. So it just sits on my table.
That sounds like an absolute nightmare 😓
prx green automatic 35mm
You can also get a Seiko Presage Grasshopper for 350 - 450 € Just recently bought it myself and im enjoying it!
Ive never heard of sekonda before . They look ok for the price. Cheers will have a gander at them.
Yes, I have bought from MAMACOO more than once. I even bought a new Omega Speedmaster which came with the fancy box and packaging. I am thrilled with all my purchases here. I would purchase from MAMACOO again for sure.
Here’s a random green offering, check out the ADPT Series 1 titanium in Mossy Shale green
Redentore Enigma
I would add the Seiko Prospex grenade to this & I've owned the tapisserie Tissot, its very cool but quite big. Iquite fancy the Bulova but parts are difficult to get hold of my watchmaker tells me, also the bezel is fragile.
Orient Kamasu. Easy.
Citizen Brycen. Not even a Citizen on the list
I was weighing up putting the Zenshin model on there, didn't quite make the cut
Got the new seltern moonphase in meteorite en route. Think I might have to stretch to this one too.
The NB1062-17W by Citizen is the most beautiful green dial I have ever seen you can still find it just under $1k only 300 made I believe. Also there’s someone selling a green C65 Aquitaine CW with green strap on Reddit CW subreddit now for $750 used.
It’s the Christopher Ward for me bruh!
I just picked up a BEAUCROFT SEEKER in "Teal" for $500, although I think it's more of an emerald green.
Bro sell me that Batavi Architect 😭😭
Sell that pos. The bezels on those Milanos are so cheap looking. When I hear people who catch aventurine fever, it makes me think of stories about the native Americans getting tricked with cheap glass beads. If you want to look at the stars, look at the stars. If you want to sparkle and glitter, get yourself to the gentleman's club.
Seiko alpinist? Every other list has this one. The Christopher ward was a great addition. Is Benjamin James becoming a a legit brand or a fashion brand style?
I think the aim is a legit brand, if they were aiming for fashion I think they'd have a lot more models released. As for the Alpinist, I do like it, but not more than the mojito, hence its exclusion as it's one per brand.
Just a random pt . Your quoting prices in USD I think , is that correct? With your accent not being American it wouldn't hurt to clarify. Perhaps when you state rules
Yeah it's USD, do other currencies use the same dollar symbol? I can add that in future videos. I just use USD because that's what TH-cam favours.
@ImpulsiveWatches Makes sense that you are using USD as prob most commonly searched.. Yes aus for 1 uses same symbol. I beleive any currency represented in dollars uses the $ symbol. Canada and nz the only other 1s that come to mind atm but I'm sure there'd be many others.. All good, just a suggestion . Have a good day.
The. Benjamin James is really nice. Im generally not a fan of integrated bracelets but could make an exception. As you mentioned tho seems hard to actually buy. I hadn't heard of them before so cheers. I've joined their mailing list to stay tuned. The Christopher ward is also very nice..and tho I'm familiar with the brand the is 1st 1 of theirs thats caught my eye. Some really nice shots in the vid. Excellent job.
Orient Star Diver.
All my guesses were wrong. 😅 Thought of the Baby Alpinist (which deserves a leather strap), the Seiko Alpinist Bamboo Forest (limited edition), and the recently recommended Karl Leimon Classic Field.
There's also a Seiko Alpinist Mystic Forest. Yes, I love the Alpinists.
All great choices!
I'm noticing green is hot right now, I'm circling the nordic marine instruments mosgren right now.
My overriding feeling after watching this was who is suffering to produce such an item for 20 quid!
I'd hope it was automated assembly at this price, but I highly doubt it
Keep
I own the red one and paid 27 GBP (after discount). It keeps time quite accurately and is waterproof. I actually enjoy wearing it so far. It'll be interesting to see how it stands the test of time.
I just placed an order for the Night Spider Tourbillon form Ideal Knight.
Another great use - Learning how to mod watches! With such a low cost of entry, a cheap Benyar can be opened up and experimented with
That's also a great shout. Alongside the timegrapher in the video, I bought a load of stuff back before the summer to further mod my project watch and I've never gotten around to doing it. Could be a fun weekend project when I get some time.
@ImpulsiveWatches looking forward to the first ImpulsiveWatches mod project!
Chinese or not, I haven't got any problem with any of my Chinese watches for these past 10 years as they are still doing fine and as a humble watch collector, recently, I'm seeing myself being more attracted to Chinese watches because I get value for money and each brand that I buy gives to me a different taste as they are indeed very beautiful pieces. They are very affordable and I wear a different watch brand for different dress code wherever I go. They are also head turners as very often, people have asked me from where I bought them as they are indeed very beautiful. For me, It's just a matter of taste and what you are looking for in the watch you buy. Aside of all these, I'm very selective about my Chinese watches as I don't buy many buy few which are of quality.
All due respect, trash 🗑️
Just the name puts me off.
That timex looked horrible 😅
Believe it or not, I have this exact watch but it runs at 28800 and I don't recognize the movement even after taking the case back off and regulating it. Maybe they just put in the wrong movement? In any event I got a well regulated hi-beat movement for a pittance..
Btw, it has a Benyar signed rotor.
Always a good day when your video drops!Great video as always.Can’t beat it for MAMACOO watches!
Hmm looks orange to me! Not sure I understand your strategy, unless you're looking to buy the more expensive watch from AE. Any online dealer will let you keep the watch for at least a couple of weeks after you've bought it and return it (intact) if you don't like it.
What’s black and white and red all over? The black and white obviousness of selling that red watch. (Naw it’s aight. Just had to make the joke)
A half-caste abortion
I had this exact watch in the same color, but I sold it. The case on this one is not stainless steel but plated alloy, there is no lume and it came with scratches on one side of the case and on the bracelet in-between the endlink and the next link. The biggest issue was that the bracelet had very sharp edges, I couldn't wear it. I sold it for very cheap, just so someone would use it. The color was interesting and much more red than in the video but that was about it. The rotor on the movement was nice but you could see the plastic spacer ring around it and it made it look cheap.
For the peanuts this costs, im tempted to give 1 a go. For the reasons you mentioned...just to see how that look/vibrant colors suits.
Never liked a Benyar but maybe I'd give the 5140 a shot.
Addiesdive AD2071 Automatic (NH35) has a killer red dial but it will cost you 80 quid. It is a better watch than the Benyar in this video but it is a bit thick.
I very much dislike the case shape of the Boderry. It looks somehow better on pictures than real-life. It's not a good looking watch in my eyes. The RZE Resolute Pro, which I also own, is absolutely fantastic. The only thing I would change about that watch would be making the marker at the 12 o'clock position a bit slimmer. The watch is quite a bit darker in color than the renderings on the website may suggest. The real-life pictures are more accurate. If the somewhat brutalist case shape appeals to you, then this is a no-brainer. It has become my second most worn watch.
cool
Can I request you to make a video of top ten quartz watch?
MAMACOO watch are the best, I say this from experience.
Hey dude, late to the party, kinda sick. I'd like to recommend 3 watches I've seen lately you'll probably dig as much as I do. De Bethune Purple Rain, Karl Leimon Classic Field (in green), and Kuoe Sombrero, their first take on a dive watch (38mm!). Great video, btw.
Clicky Bezel just reviewed the Sombrero and SoCal Watch Reviews did the Karl Leimon.
Oh, and the editing was executed tastefully. I'm wondering if I'll go for this model or the bronze, though I'm afraid I might not like the patina. The Sombrero is awesome too, only the second time I crave a dive watch.
Another great video thanks. Just my opinion. White dials as you explained have strengths ..versatility, clean look. On the downside imo theres no pop. Nothing eye-catching..not with the 1s shown in this vid anyway Perhaps with a gold case / bracelet there would be more "pop' Or in higher end watches with more texure etc to dials / and do fancier cases.
Great video. I'm looking forward to the 3- or 6-month video since this watch is on my short list.
Love your channel with so many stellar watches! For me the AMZWATCH’ watch is my favorite. Keep the videos coming. Thanks.
That last one, show only the circles, no indi
