Like the Vario website, really nice design and easy to navigate...I signed up for your news letter based on that and this review. look forward to owning one of your watches soon👍
The Vario Trench watches are great! I've had their NH38 powered 40mm 1918 Medic with cream and orange dial for over a year now and love it, and the various assortment of their straps I use, they're all great quality as well. As for Vario customer service, I dropped my medic and catastrophically shattered the crystal. I got in touch with Ivan and Judy, and they had a full replacement crystal/bezel assembly shipped out to me in no time, for a very reasonable nominal fee. I was able to replace the assembly myself at home, and the movement didn't suffer a bit for the fall. Great stuff! Now I'm thinking I'll need to get the brass cased 37mm 1918 Trench with the black and white dial and a display caseback to show off the gilt Miyota 82s5 that will go so nicely with the brass case at some point as well. Plus, I really like their new bund strap style. Seems like a good reason to pick up another watch!
A great watch that Vario. The thumbnail and the intro of the video got me... I'm an avid watcher of your channel, I really like you reviews, in special your aliexpress hauls. Thanks for sharing, greetings from Colombia
Haha. Just a bit of fun that sadly some have taken offence at. Humour is the last bastion of a sane civilization but it's clearly lost on some haha. Love the watch and the thumbnail and music just came to me . Divine inspiration haha 😆
Yes the Pulsar is sold. I had to do it even though I loved it. Eventually it would have hurt that kinetic movement. The Vario is superb. A stunner of a dial and a sleek case.
Thank you for a great presentation. I like the showmanship aspects! That is a solid looking watch but it is not for me. However, your review put them (Vario) on my radar and they make some unique pieces at more or less reasonable prices. I am sure I will soon be wearing one of them. Thank you, Sir!!!
That's a lovely little watch! I like what this brand is doing. When I squint, I can see the pocket watch these trench watches were based on. A word about Miyota 8 series movements, I regulated some of them myself and when they are regulated, they keep better time than Seikos do.
I stand with Molly…, I had one of these on loan to review from the wonderful Ivan, I loved it so Sam bought me one for my birthday. It’s sensational, sadly the crazy horse is a little tight for gorillas so wearing it on a gorgeous NATO. Great review of a great watch and brand
I got the cream dial with orange numerals on initial launch. They’re a terrific watch! The only issue I had was the bund strap screws had sharp edges & cut into my wrist. So I reversed the screws to face up! It’s looks tougher I think!💪🏼😡🤣
Gen X still rocks hard, lol. Gorgeous watch! My sympathies on your Pulsar, I had to let go of a solar powered Timex Expedition, myself. Too many watches, not enough time. :-/
I bought the white dial version on kickstarter and the watch has not disappointed. I wear it on an open ended leather strap which I find the most comfortable option. However, it is not a watch that gets much wrist time, maybe I should revisit it
sorry late to the party TH-cam decided to lose my comment mid reply. Moll's looks likely she's shaking her head the antics of these crazy humans. Pulsar Kinetic is a really nice watch but has to go and hopefully it will find a loving home via Ebay. The Vario 1918 trench watch is a huge temptation ....I love the WWI style trench watches this matches the style and proportions perfectly with the advantage of modern technology with the improvement of reliability and accuracy. Even better they do a Shrapnel guard for $24 for that authentic look. Also like the 1918 pilots watch with the offset lugs...may look even better than the trench watch. I think this is going top of the list for a birthday or Christmas present to myself. Thanks for doing a great review and introducing this brand to me. cheers!
haha. Some folk have unsubscribed because they don't like someone ripping the p**s out of himself on TH-cam. We all need a laugh sometimes. For others it's just too late 😔
I've got the brass one with a white dial. It looks very like the Pulp Fiction watch. Haven't tested Mr. Walken's assertion that it's an uncomfortable hunk of metal though.
No no no...look at the thumbnail. You can see my favourite watch. Then the wording says But, out of the darkness comes...so you know it's going to be positive. So many angry people have unsubscribed. Dafties :)
@johnswatchjoint haha, I figured it was just some kind of joke, and i think it was clever and funny. I didn't look that closely at the thumbnail, but I will admit I was worried. I didn't even watch the video for a bit because it would have bummed me out if you were leaving. I get a real kick out of chatting with you and listening to your opinions/watching the channel expand. I've told my family about what you did for me, and I wouldn't unsub for about anything. Also, If you quit a channel because of one title, that seems petty to me. I'm sorry that happened but I know you're going to get even more in the future.
Aye aye sir. Got it. Thanks for the support. Some folk just get no joy if someone is having a genuine bit of fun. I am the one making a fool of myself because I love what I do. Gladly 99.9% get it...just like you my friend :)
...Tomas...it is NOT clickbait. Look closely at the thumbnail :) The picture on the left makes reference to me saying goodbye to my favourite watch ...which is greyed out whilst on the right it states there is going to be something to replace it haha. Pretty simple :)
When JWJ puts out clickbait, by God, bite I shall! 🐟. Molly rocking out with her insane Dad. Love it! And I love the watch too. Like I said if anyone is going to convert me to being a fan of vintage military watches, it will be you!
Lets see how many lack of humor,boohoo click bait comments there ends up being lmao😂. Because we live in a time where a good sense of humor and common sense are a rarity there'll be plenty im sure!! GOOD ONE MATE. Sorry you lost your little buddy.
Love your presentation and thanks for the feature!
Thank you. I love the watch!

Hi John. You wouldn't be disappointed :)
That intro!! You daft Bar Steward! 😂
You know it! :) Gotta have fun. We only live for a blink :)
@johnswatchjoint Amen brother!
The airdrumming got me!
Haha. Glad you enjoyed it. Good to smile 😊
If they could do a version with “normal” lugs so I could put a normal leather strap on it, I’d be in. It’s really nice looking.
Man the title gave me a shock. Glad it was just a joke. Keep it up John!
Well ..it was and it wasn't...good clickbait methinks ;) rock on 🤘
LoL I got a chuckle. Well done sir! 😅
Glad you enjoyed it. Sometimes it's good to let some steam off 😉
@@johnswatchjoint you’re up late! 😜
I don't sleep.much buddy 🤗
Yep they float my boat, I've always loved the look of those vintage trench watches but to have the look and with modern construction defo a winner
Glad you like my friend :)

Hello Colombia front Scotland! :)
Great review John! This one’s a looker. You got me with the title, but it was worth it for that intro bit and seeing Molly head banging at the end. 😂
Haha. Just a bit of fun that sadly some have taken offence at. Humour is the last bastion of a sane civilization but it's clearly lost on some haha. Love the watch and the thumbnail and music just came to me . Divine inspiration haha 😆
I hate to hear the pulsar is retired for a bit but I must say that is a stunning trench watch and looks the best on the beautiful Bundt strap.
Yes the Pulsar is sold. I had to do it even though I loved it. Eventually it would have hurt that kinetic movement. The Vario is superb. A stunner of a dial and a sleek case.
The cockeyed crown would play havoc with my OCD, but hey, we're all different.
Oh no! What's going down John? Your channel and content are excellent... love the Vario watch too!
Glad you enjoy it!
Sometimes it’s nice to wear something conspicuous that pops out…It add to the enjoyment.😂👍🇬🇧
Absolutely! :)
Thank you for a great presentation. I like the showmanship aspects!

You are most welcome. Thanks for watching ;)
Great fun, awesome watch, and love the music 🎶 🎵 👌 Well done John 👏
That's what it was all about. Cheers buddy ;)

Hi Alex. They are some of the most accurate budget movements I have used. Totally agree with you 😉
You are correct.
Great looking Watch for sure and case sizes should suit most people.
It's a real looker. That enamel dial is so deep 😯
Looks like a well thought out watch. Nice!
Very clean and legible. Also tactile :)
I stand with Molly…, I had one of these on loan to review from the wonderful Ivan, I loved it so Sam bought me one for my birthday. It’s sensational, sadly the crazy horse is a little tight for gorillas so wearing it on a gorgeous NATO. Great review of a great watch and brand
Aah. Our tastes meet in the middle ! Ivan and Judy are a pleasure to deal with. Professionalism exemplified ;)
I got the cream dial with orange numerals on initial launch. They’re a terrific watch! The only issue I had was the bund strap screws had sharp edges & cut into my wrist. So I reversed the screws to face up! It’s looks tougher I think!💪🏼😡🤣
They've ironed that out now but yeah it would look tougher ;)
Gen X still rocks hard, lol. Gorgeous watch!
My sympathies on your Pulsar, I had to let go of a solar powered Timex Expedition, myself. Too many watches, not enough time. :-/
Yeah it was a tough decision but I am actually wearing two watches some days as I evaluate watches usually over a full 5 days!
This watch was made for a bund strap. What a looker!
I agree . ;)
Always liked the look of this watch
Great review, the start and end are brilliant and the watch is pretty nice too 😁
Haha. It's always good to have a bit of fun. Can't take life too seriously ;)
Congrats on the new watch John!
Thanks Jason ☺️
I bought the white dial version on kickstarter and the watch has not disappointed. I wear it on an open ended leather strap which I find the most comfortable option. However, it is not a watch that gets much wrist time, maybe I should revisit it
Hi David. They are beautiful. When the sun comes out...eventually lol...you will fall in love with it again :)
Congrats on the new watch. That one looks really good on the bund strap.
Thanks my friend 😊

Hey John. Glad you enjoyed it. Ivan at Vario loved the review! :)
I have been looking at these for months but I'm holding back waiting for the 37mm pilot
They do look really nice. If this is anything to go buy they will be superbly finished .
@@johnswatchjoint yeah I'm just holding back on my urge to buy more watches I already bought 4 this year
Nice 🙂
Long live Rock n' Roll mate !!
Absolutely !
Love the watch!!
Thx 😊
I think I saw you had that up for sale. I should have gone for it! First time I've seen that Vario. I like it. It's different.
It is beautiful. So tactile. I just love it...and I get to wear a bund haha 😆
I am staying subscribed for more rock n' roll cats!!
haha. Some folk have unsubscribed because they don't like someone ripping the p**s out of himself on TH-cam. We all need a laugh sometimes. For others it's just too late 😔
@@johnswatchjoint those of us with a sense of humour will carry on supporting you, John. Thank you for all the great content.
I've got the brass one with a white dial. It looks very like the Pulp Fiction watch. Haven't tested Mr. Walken's assertion that it's an uncomfortable hunk of metal though.
Phew, thank god. I thought you were quitting.
Haha, you got me.

I too fell for the clickbait that vario is gorgeous though.

Haha. Good to rock out now and again 🤘
The lume on the original 1918 watch sucked even more.
Are they actually making the watch or are they having it made for them in China?
Check out their website. It's very comprehensive. They are based in Singapore :)
Hate click bait.
Oh dear...have a close look at the thumbnail. If you don't want to have fun then there is nothing I can offer you here 😞
Funny.
Glad you got it. Doing nothing but making fun of myself. Haha 😆
Oh no , 😭🥹 so sad , lol
Yeeessss. You get it! Had someone complain and now three unsubscribe....that is sad lol 😆
That Vario is a suitable replacement tho 😁
I think so 😃
Lets see how many lack of humor,boohoo click bait comments there ends up being lmao😂. Because we live in a time where a good sense of humor and common sense are a rarity there'll be plenty im sure!! GOOD ONE MATE. Sorry you lost your little buddy.
Haha. Have already had one complaint and two people unsubscribe. Very sad that they have lost all sense of humour. We need it in this world.
Yep..the unsubscribes are coming in. Poor sad people with no humour left in them :)
