Thank you for the amazing review! forgot to mention earlier, being a prototype the back of the bracelet wasn't machined to be softer, final production will be improved for sure to be more gentle on the skin :) Also yes, someday we do want to fit a Miyota in there, but at this stage we are still trying to keep all our watches at sub 300USD so everyone can afford to own one.
Great sizing on this piece. Great looks too. I've been extremely lucky and won one of these in a giveaway so I'm looking forward to receiving it hopefully within the next two weeeks! Great review 👏
I did like the first run and the size was the biggest negative. As they now come in 39 mm they're an amazing offering, I really like it. It only resembles a Submariner when you squint. Especially the side profile is very different from an Oyster case. They have done with a solid cashback. This would have allowed for maybe half a mm less case back protrusion. And as you said, the busy dial could do with one less line of text. But none of these things are deal killers given the low price. The white version would be my pick of the bunch.
I'm thrilled to see the smaller size offering and other updates as well. Agreed about the Sub. It's what an homage should be IMO, loosely inspired/reimagined without just being a permissible clone because of a changed logo. The white is my favorite of the bunch too (though I'm looking forward to seeing the Aqua as well). Cheers
The first link has quite a steep downwards angle. The other links on my 42mm version follow this direction perfectly on my 17cm wrist. For the bracelet to look good on this 39mm version i think you would need a significantly smaller wrist size than mine.
I'll double check but I believe the profile and end link angle is very similar between the two. I prefer the sizing of the 39 but both versions wear well on my 6.5"/16.5cm wrist. Cheers
@@JonathanTReviews I know the profile is the same. But the lug to lug lenght is shorter. So then the first link goes downwards and the second link more horizontal if your wrist is big enough, ruining the 'flow' of the bracelet. This is why i prefer the 42mm version for my wrist as the second link follows the direction set out by the first link.
Received my R12 today and only feel that the watch is just above average. Out of 11 indices including the 12 o'clock index, 9 were slightly misaligned with one relatively obvious. Revelot is a brand that is more than 6 years old, they need to further improve their QC.
Sorry to read you received a bad one. You may want to reach out to them. Keep in mind they're definitely on the lower end of the price spectrum for a microbrand with original designs. Cheers
These look terrific worth strong specs per $. Some interesting and successful design elements. I really like the size but an even 40mm would maybe have been better from a marketing perspective. I'll likely try to snag one. By the way, this may be your best review yet... Well done!
Thank you very much! I'm always a work in progress 🥂 I'm quite pleased with the package and value as well. Agreed about the marketing perception though I'm happy with the proportions from a usage perspective. On the plus side, already having the 42 version available, I don't think they needed to specifically target the middle/upper wrist sizes as aggressively as with a single size. Cheers
It would be a pretty easy change I imagine. I'd want less slope to the rehaut though so it could have the 24 hour numerals. The dial would be too busy/uneven for them in my opinion. Cheers
The only problem I have with this watch is I was convinced I wanted the white dial until I've seen an owner's review of the green 42... In the end there might be only one solution: buy both colors!
They never make it easy on us 😄 If you do decide to get only one, I highly recommend the white. At least to my eye, it looks amazing and is not your typical white. Cheers

My pleasure! It's great to read further refinements of an already excellent watch are coming! Cheers
Thank you Jonathan especially for the comprisons to other watches that you do! That’s something that sets you apart from other channels 👍🏻
My pleasure! Thanks for the support! Cheers
I was already excited about these but now I’m all in! Great review and that two tone is 🔥🔥🔥
Awesome! I think they nailed this V2 from sizing to incremental improvements. Cheers
Great sizing on this piece. Great looks too. I've been extremely lucky and won one of these in a giveaway so I'm looking forward to receiving it hopefully within the next two weeeks! Great review 👏
Thank you very much! Congrats, that's awesome!!! I think you'll really like it. Cool design and big value. Cheers
Thanks for the review, JT. Those are nice specs.
My pleasure! Thanks for the support! Definitely a lot of value in specs and design. Cheers

Great watches in the original size so even better with these dimensions.
That's where I land as well! Even the 42 wears nicely on my wrist, but this is more my speed. Cheers
Is the dial comparable to presage sharp edge?
I haven't had the two side-by-side to confirm but the patterns are fairly similar. Cheers

how thick is the pvd coating?
Sorry, I don't know the answer to that one and don't have any way to measure. Cheers

thx for the review brother
My pleasure! Cheers
Great Review!!! I think they should DEFINITELY removed the "automatic" text from the 6:00 position
Thank you very much! It would be nice to clean things up. Cheers
Thanks for the feedback! we didnt want it to look too different from the OG 42mm
Will this be on Kickstarter or the Revelot website when it launches?
They're launching on their website. I have the link in the description. Cheers

Very nice watch. Thinking about getting one 🙂
They pack a lot of value into an attractive package! Cheers
Good candidate for a four hand NH34 model.

Where are they made? Where are they headquartered?
I believe they're based out of Malaysia. Not sure where they're produced.
Hey Jonathan, great review! Do you have an email or contact, I wanted to discuss an opportunity with you 😊
Thank you very much! Sure, my email is in the video description. Cheers
