They have since improved the bracelet on the rail master. It now has articulating female End Links and the Bracelet is not stiff at all. Phylida has improved this model since the version in this video
Not a fan of sterile dials generally but this one seems to get away with it, maybe it's the cross hairs distracting me or the slightly flieger overtones but it works.
Not a fan of sterile dials at all. Just feels like something is missing but it really works on this watch. Lovely looking watch this an a bit different from the rest. Great review as always!👍🏻
I'm totally with you on some watches looking better with sterile dials. It's good to know you can get a good fit on a 7" wrist. That was the only thing that stopped me getting one of these. You never know if you'll get a good fit with a butterfly clasp. I might have to pick one up now 😉 I've been saying it since I first tried out a Phylida watch, the (GMT Master 2 homage). The build quality and value for money is fantastic. Great review mate.
Great review! Two questions: 1. Is the nice brushed texture of the dial more visible in the sunlight? 2. Is there a position that you can change the date that is behind the dial? Can you feel or hear that the date changes? This problem can be found in Corgeut "Railmaster".
Rail Master.. Well thats a grail that will remain a grail untill i win the lottery. Untill then, maybe this will be a nice bithday present to myself this year. Thanks for the great review!!!
Expensive or not, I'm not overly crazy about the sandblasted finish tbh. I've seen the real deal and the fully brushed case finish is part of what makes them look gorgeous.
Nice looking watch..... By the way I received my Nato Strap from your EBay store today.... Looks really good on my AVI-8 Flyboy Engineer watch (like nato / leather straps more than metal bracelets) so gives me another option.... Nice one!!!
Phylida need to rebrand, I'd prefer this over the corgeut but I can't do sterile and that name........it looks as ugly as it sounds when printed on a dial :(.
I think they do on purpose. Corgeut, Parnis, Phylida and I'll bet they've got a book full just waiting to happen. Probably more venerial and phalic references to come. It can't be accidental 😜
Feel like a Traska Summiteer and and an Omega Railmaster had a baby. Not a bad looking watch though. Feel it could use a logo on the crown, or somewhere. And really not a fan of the name. Sounds like a condition... or a soft cheese.
@@watchmewithwatches agreed they are a bit pricey that's partly why I haven't taken the plunge yet. Might suggest it to the other half for a Xmas present.
Great review. I've been trying to buy it from Phylida through AliExpress but they're not listing it and haven't answered any of my pleas! Any ideas on how/where to get one please would be most appreciated!
I just got this one yesterday, only issue I got is I cannot fully hand wind with the threaded crown. It will always screw in no free position to hand wind.
Love the watch, and I am a dive watch kind of guy. Hate the name. Picture this: You are out with your friends, they notice the watch and ask about it, you tell them it is a Phyllis...YUP! The End.
Is fully brushed the same as sandblasted? there's a big difference between these two kind of finishes and they don't have a sandblasted one listed at all at Aliexpress, was this a unicorn? Your link just sends to a fully brushed one that to me eye doesn't look sandblasted in the pictures compared to the level of real sandblasting on your vid... Any help, anyone???
Initially, I find this a great looking watch, but for me, as much as I love blue dial watches, on this setup, it looks kind of odd on a vintage style watch face....
I agree Dan, it's a great watch but I do like a bit of verbage on my dials but definitely not "Phylida". Do you think the Chinese do it on purpose, give us good watch with a ridiculous name so they can all sit around laughing ? Surely they'd make more money if they stopped it?
@@watchmewithwatches Right , the brushed finish is a killer . I wonder if you could compare these two side by side: th-cam.com/video/wAt9khzlz7U/w-d-xo.html
The dial face's texture is nowhere near as pronounced or accurate looking, at least in this video, as the Omega, or the Corgeut homage, and that's the best part of the design. Am I the only one seeing that, or do I need an eye appointment?

this reminds me a lot of the Traska Summiteer, in a good way!... Actually, they might even come out of the same factory, who knows!

i know I'm kind of off topic but do anyone know of a good place to stream newly released movies online?
Thanks for the review. This is an absolute bargain. Love the sand blasted finish rather than polished. I'm going to order it now!
beautiful watch. unfortunately lug to lug is over what it would suit on my wrist. if it was a 38mm watch with max lug to lug 47mm i would go for it
I love this sand Blasted Satin Finish. It Almost Looks Like Titanium
Loving the Phlebotomy watches. This looks great, and I love that sandblasted look!
The “crown wobble” is normal for an nh35 stem.......due to the spring
Great review, thank you. I really like your style of presentation... calm and unpretentious. Liked and subscribed.
Not a fan of sterile dials generally but this one seems to get away with it, maybe it's the cross hairs distracting me or the slightly flieger overtones but it works.
I agree, the dial looks well balanced. I wish they did a brushed steel version. I would get that with a black dial.
@@watchmewithwatches The new version is now brushed steel apparently.
@@RunawayYe yes! And I'm giving it away as a 6k subscribers prize.
Very tempting, I quite fancy the green dial version. 👍
Go for it!
Not a fan of sterile dials at all. Just feels like something is missing but it really works on this watch. Lovely looking watch this an a bit different from the rest. Great review as always!👍🏻
Thanks for watching!
Also the name, always reminds my of the vileda supermop
Love it, looks superb....cracking review as always....⌚🏴⌚🏴
Thank you! Cheers!

You got me hooked! They are so impressive
@@watchmewithwatches I'm glad I could be your enabler 😆
@@HonestWatchReviewsHWR don't come near me with cake, or you will be a feeder!
I ordered one they are back in stock. I wish they would do a sandwich dial and a titanium case and bracelet.
If they were to have sandwiched the dial ? It would have taken taken this one to the Next Level. Howev er one must consider the price.
I like the sterile dial on this model. Tempting!
Out of stock 😞 but I contacted them and told me that it should be available next month.
Great review! Two questions:
1. Is the nice brushed texture of the dial more visible in the sunlight?
2. Is there a position that you can change the date that is behind the dial? Can you feel or hear that the date changes? This problem can be found in Corgeut "Railmaster".
It is more visible in daylight, and the date wheel is not audible unless you really try to hear it!
Rail Master.. Well thats a grail that will remain a grail untill i win the lottery. Untill then, maybe this will be a nice bithday present to myself this year. Thanks for the great review!!!
This would be a great test drive before the main event!
@@watchmewithwatches A loong test drive until the main event but hopefully it will come!
Not a fan of BB but this doesn't look too bad! Still prefer the SS Railmaster in black...
I agree, that's still my favourite Corgeut, such a nice watch and good VFM
Expensive or not, I'm not overly crazy about the sandblasted finish tbh. I've seen the real deal and the fully brushed case finish is part of what makes them look gorgeous.
Im waiting for them to do an all brushed railmaster homage. That would be ideal. I know Corgeut do one, but anticipate Phylida do better finishing.
magnifique modèle.
I really like the case, strap and crown, its the dial I'm not crazy about, be cool to fit a custom dial though
Great idea. What kind of look would you go for? A grey dial would look good I reckon.
@@watchmewithwatches grey sunburst dial, aviator style arabic numerals, but a 12 instead of the usual triangle, and fit the standard hands back on
I have been looking for something I like about that watch, but have now given up.
They need a nice logo and a catchy name I'd buy one , very good review 👍
Thanks 👍
It is not sandblasted. The blasting media is glass beads. Also it is not an expensive method.
Glass is made of sand. So technically I'm Still correct 😉
Another great video mate 👍👍👍
Awesome watch btw
Thanks 👍
Nice looking watch..... By the way I received my Nato Strap from your EBay store today.... Looks really good on my AVI-8 Flyboy Engineer watch (like nato / leather straps more than metal bracelets) so gives me another option.... Nice one!!!
Fantastic! Thanks for your custom
I would love this watch if the dial had a nice logo.
I think they will tweak their branding for the western markets. The market demands it!
Phylida need to rebrand, I'd prefer this over the corgeut but I can't do sterile and that name........it looks as ugly as it sounds when printed on a dial :(.
Reminds me of syphilis every time I hear Phylida :-)
I think they do on purpose. Corgeut, Parnis, Phylida and I'll bet they've got a book full just waiting to happen. Probably more venerial and phalic references to come. It can't be accidental 😜
@@davemck1887 :)
@@davemck1887 indeed. Guess what Parnis reminds me off :-D

Hi Dan, have you ever given lorier watches a thought? They've just brought out some new editions, would be great to see one of them on the channel
I really like the look of their watches. If I had a spare $500 I would get one in for review!
@@watchmewithwatches agreed they are a bit pricey that's partly why I haven't taken the plunge yet. Might suggest it to the other half for a Xmas present.
That 7" strap is an issue for me being too short
Another gem from Phylida. Sterile dials are not for me, I wish it had a better brand name, but I can live with Phylida.. until they re-brand !
I agree, Its not terrible, but could be better.
Great review. I've been trying to buy it from Phylida through AliExpress but they're not listing it and haven't answered any of my pleas! Any ideas on how/where to get one please would be most appreciated!
Nice looking watch but lack of date is a deal breaker for me.
Fair enough!
I just got this one yesterday, only issue I got is I cannot fully hand wind with the threaded crown. It will always screw in no free position to hand wind.
Stem is too short. Have you contacted the seller?
Other than that is it as good as it looks in the videos?
@@pkn5607 The watch actually really good my watch stem is little short and it starts to loose after the wind for multi times.
idk this sand blasted finish doesn't grind my gears, I much prefer brushed.
Me too, I hope they release one with that finish
It's nicely done but i'd at least prefer it to have " Automatic & its WR" on the dial & not keen on the male end links either.
Good idea, a bit of text wouldn't hurt. Maybe Automatic in orange text would look good
well done, m8
Love the watch, and I am a dive watch kind of guy. Hate the name. Picture this: You are out with your friends, they notice the watch and ask about it, you tell them it is a Phyllis...YUP! The End.
lol, very true

Hi, they did do this in sand/bead blasted finish, then did a 2021 update with an all brushed finish instead.
How does it stack up to the Corgeut Railmaster?
Hi Karl, im tempted to get one to compare it. Maybe in the 11.11 sale!
@@watchmewithwatches I was thinking of getting the Corgeut during 11.11 too which is why I was very curious. Thank you.
Hommage of a Damasko ?
Omega Rail Master .
Initially, I find this a great looking watch, but for me, as much as I love blue dial watches, on this setup, it looks kind of odd on a vintage style watch face....
I agree, I think the black dial one is better aesthetically
I was wondering what it was that didn’t look right and you’ve nailed it
If/when they do a non sandblasted version of the railmaster, its a definate must have for me!
hi, good review but you really need a better camera
Thanks, the one I want is £800 so I'm still saving up!
I agree Dan, it's a great watch but I do like a bit of verbage on my dials but definitely not "Phylida". Do you think the Chinese do it on purpose, give us good watch with a ridiculous name so they can all sit around laughing ? Surely they'd make more money if they stopped it?
In time they may develop the brand name. It wouldn't hurt!
Looks like titanium... with normal/heavy weight.
True. And significantly less money.
bah , got here too late. no longer available.
I hope they make more, and if they do all brushed finish, wow.
@@watchmewithwatches Right , the brushed finish is a killer . I wonder if you could compare these two side by side: th-cam.com/video/wAt9khzlz7U/w-d-xo.html
A little bit too large, especially since it looks fairly flat lug to lug. The other thing is the hand section is terrible, they look cheap and ugly
sorry mate, though I thoroughly enjoyed the beauty of that watch, the nasty cut on your thumb forced me to quit out the video after 3 minutes.
