Finally a beefy & chunky diver from Phoibos🥳 Great design, great quality & of course great price. This is really a bargain for that level of quality & the used materials. I like big watches like that because I can wear them. I see many comments here "Cool watch but if it was smaller..." Phoibos does regular size or compared to Leviathan smaller sizes as usual. Finally a big boy 😄👍🏻💪🏻 Great watch & great video ✌🏻 Thank you for this video & the presentation of all versions👌🏻
Oh my God! These watches are B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L! That white dial is right up my alley. And they really seem to be purposefully built for diving with that large dial and that large strap. Thanks for sharing Marc. I know, like 99% of the people buying these watches, I won’t be using this for diving but man-oh-man are they irresistible.
I bought my first Phoibos from Long Island Watch. The blue Wave Master. Awesome watch. I was able to track down a Reef Master after they were all but sold out everywhere. Got the DLC version , another beauty. I think this release is one of their nicest. The white is my favorite.
That is a very good watch. As someone who dives, unlike many dive watches except Seiko Prospex and a few others, this Phoibis is a true divers watch. It has a big rubber strap that will fit over my wetsuit, it has a secure bezel that won't move accidentally, and then there's the water resistance and HEV. Size is great for my 8" wrist and if someone has slim wrists but is a diver, this watch will not be too big over a wetsuit. Thought I would never go deep enough for saturation diving, the HEV is a great plus. This watch was definitely made with scuba divers in mind. This is no desk diver! It breaks the microbrand mold of making fashion divers. If you buy this think about learning to dive! Might as well use it for the purpose it's meant for!🤿🤿
From your blog I purchased the white faced DLC.great watch,but the strap is a big to pull through the loops and stiff, so swapped it for a black silicone greko strap.smooth as silk..
Marc, thanks for the great videos, especially this one. The DLC/White dial really clicked with me, so I snagged one! I put it on a matching MiLTAT Hexad bracelet and it looks phenomenal!
Yesterday I received the PY032E (white dial DLC). Awesome watch for the money! It's my first Phoibos, first mechanical, first automatic, and first DLC watch. Perfect bezel alignment, very good lume (best I've had to be honest), and it fits great on my 20cm wrist. I love the fancy-cut crystal and overall I think it's a beautiful beast. I'm happy with my choice but I still think the steel versions look great (except the green, I agree with you there). I'd buy another Phoibos for sure (but not for awhile!).
My wrist size is about 20cm and I still wonder if it's a little too chonky for me. I've generally preferred bare stainless steel but I also find myself drawn to the DLC coated versions here. The grey dial doesn't "pop" the same way as the white but it's so well executed & a more understated look. It's a tossup! I'm also going to check out some of your "Islander" watches. As much as it _is_ fun to buy watches I also need to keep the size of my collection under control & be methodical. Thanks for the video!
Great looking watch. Nearly pressed buy, but the NH35 stopped me. I’ve had 3 out of 3 Seikos die on me just out of warranty. Seiko says bad luck. I’ll never wear a Seiko movement on my wrist again.
Huge Phoibos watch fan. These are stunning!! Disappointed in name choice of this specific model. Glad it isn't on the watch itself. Finally a watch and strap that will fit my wrist!
Suggestion: hope you'll change your watch dial logo to "Long Island" (in a classic font) ur original logo can keep in crown though. It will give ur watches a more artistic look. Sure sales will boosts more. Thanks me later
Might have to jump on one of those. I have trouble you may relate to though; I can’t decide between the blue or one of the PVD versions! They are definitely brutes though! Thanks Marc!
Little bit too big… I like to watch… I’d like it more in a 42. 7 1/2 inch wrist and I still find anything above a 44 to big…Personal preference of course. Thanks Mark!
I like the one with the green background. I wonder, though, with the lume being so narrow on the hands (seems a bit out of proportion to the bezel lume), how soon does the glow go away?
55 minute video, Marc you can make a 55 hour video and still keep my attention. I don't see how people can't like that logo? That case back cover looks amazing. It looks a little like Cthulhu.
Very cool watch! Since my wrist is close to your size, I will be content with my Proteus (for now)! Take a look at Borealis Watch! Imthink they would be a great add for your catalog!😍
as a brand I love Phiobos, I have a blue Wavemaster and a blue Eagle Ray, both are excellent fit and quality. The leviathan looks great but is probably too large for my wrists
Love the 6139 Marc, I was wearing mine yesterday, such cool old watches. You can get new H link bracelets for these from Uncle Seiko if you find the original too loose & rattlely!
Gorgeous, I love the DLC, just a bit too big for me. Speaking of logos, the last two logos i have added to my collection included the LIW logo and the Octopus both of which i really like.
Those Leviathans look terribly cool, but size…? I have slightly thicker wrists than yours, but I can't rock those at all; much more at-home with an Eagle Ray (are you ever getting the Miyota-equipped ER back in stock?). And: *love* that 6139. Had mine (6139-7140) redone by Seiko here in NJ last year. Besides the history behind it, it's just plain cool, and as close to a Seiko mech chrono as I'm likely to get.
Love this brand, but wish they would do more models like the ones they used to have or at least restock. Lately it seems like all their new models are huge and/or much higher priced than previously. Am itching to get a smaller sized diver/sports watch or GMT from them, but it seems I missed my chance.
Really like this watch, but the 15.5mm thickness (height) is holding me back. I can go up to a 47mm watch on my wrist, but that “tall” of a watch has me thinking it will stick up/out way too much.
They are one of the best values out there. Too bad it’s so big, probably not suited for my 6.5” wrist. Although I do wear the G-shock Mudmaster all the time. If the lugs were curved jus a bit it would be better. Two favorites are the black dial stainless and the white dial PVD.
@@islandwatch yes they are but the lug to lugs are about the same and the case diameter bigger. Weight doesn’t bother me. I have a Ball Master II Skindiver II and a Helm Vanuatu both on bracelets. Both hefty watches.
Phoibos know what they are doing. I like all their designs.
Ditto
Maybe you should make your “ State Of The Collection " a Mini Series Marc 😏
I'd rather just be done with it!
@@islandwatch A 55 minute video is fine!
@@islandwatch Make it a long one then. Don't rush it. Personally, I'd rather see them in a series of twenty minute videos. One minute for each watch.
A 500m diver for $300 is bonkers... This brand doesn't get enough respect.
Yup
I wish it was smaller. My favorite is the white dial.
Thanks for watching.

I think you are right. The DLC's are where it's at. Very nicely done!

Wow, thank you
The blue looked amazing, much like the blue Pelagos.
Mark, I want at least 55 min of your collection. PLEASE!
That grey dial looks great. Wish it wasn't so big, I have pretty small wrists
This is one of the best looking watches ever!
DLC properly applied is an insanely tough finish. It can even stand up to repeated abrasion with steel. It has really surprised me in recent years.

I got the limited edition bronze one with the open heart(which everybody seems to hate)
I love it gives it a steampunk look. But it is heavy!
Cool!
Marc, thanks for the great videos, especially this one. The DLC/White dial really clicked with me, so I snagged one! I put it on a matching MiLTAT Hexad bracelet and it looks phenomenal!
An absolute stunner! But, yeah - just a bit large. If they release a smaller version I'll jump on that White Dial DLC!
Beauty!

I would totally easily watch a 1 or 2 hour long SOTC from you Marc!
Two hours would be pushing it for me, but one hour would be fine. (Hey, his vids with TGV go over the hour mark, and are anything but boring.)
Everything but the size is great! I’m one of the logo fans as well…..hard to hate on 🐙
Thanks!
Very nice! The DLC /gray dial is awesome looking. Thanks for sharing them Marc and have a great day! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
Thanks! You too!
Ordered one. Can't wait
Thank you!
White dial in DLC!
Awesome!
My Phoibos PY007 is still my absolute favorite piece even after two years.
I get that!
That DLC with the charcoal dial is such a good looking watch.
It sure is.
SOTC MINI SERIES-YES!!!! Just like your collaboration with TGV Top 10s. Chronos, divers, dress. . . Can't wait!
:)
So nicely designed...but so big !
Love Phoibos just bought an Eagle Ray 300 m Green to ad to my collection of 6 others haha
Phoibos. Top stuff. Second watch I bought was the bronze Leviathan. Love it. Fits great, but then I have a larger wrist. Nice review, thanks.
Blue almost reminds me of the Pelagos. Oh, you just mentioned Tudor as I was typing this lol.
Great watches. Planning on buying some.
I can hear that bug buzzing 😅, I like the white dial though 👌🏼
My wrist size is about 20cm and I still wonder if it's a little too chonky for me. I've generally preferred bare stainless steel but I also find myself drawn to the DLC coated versions here.

How about multiple videos for SOTC? One per theme (divers, weird watches, etc.) is a solution some used.
Yeah, I get that, but I'd rather just do it.
Great looking watch. Nearly pressed buy, but the NH35 stopped me. I’ve had 3 out of 3 Seikos die on me just out of warranty. Seiko says bad luck. I’ll never wear a Seiko movement on my wrist again.

Liking the grey. Very tempted.
Thanks

Is it just me or does that blue dial version give off some Tudor Pelagos vibes??
Hour long video would be great!
Might have to jump on one of those. I have trouble you may relate to though; I can’t decide between the blue or one of the PVD versions! They are definitely brutes though! Thanks Marc!
Lol. I can relate , indeed.
I would totally watch your 1 hour SOTC
Awesome watch, I think I’d go for the steel with black dial. Just too big though I’m 6.25 so no way Jose. I hope they make a smaller version.
Really great looking watch but I wish there was a way to upgrade to an SW-200 from the NH35.
Very nice, has a lot going for it, i like the size. ..not a fan of the intermittent teeth on bezel, but overall i like the watch
The DLC remind me of the Damasko's. Great looking watches
You’ve forgotten the penguin footprints on the monster white dial ! 😏😅
Love the DLC coated. Absolutely love the white dial. Great video Marc, keep up the great work.
Thank you.
I need that dlc one! Looks awesome
Ya I’m a fool for black divers not so crazy about the strap but I’d change it eventually
I would buy one of these before spending $1000+ for the Orient saturation diver.
Nice job Phoibos (you to Mark) 👍
Thank you
I ordered the white dialed Leviathan yesterday. I sport an 8.75" wrist. I think it will be a good fit for me.
Agreed
It would be a cool design to see in bronze
Little bit too big… I like to watch… I’d like it more in a 42. 7 1/2 inch wrist and I still find anything above a 44 to big…Personal preference of course. Thanks Mark!
We need DLC islanders ! Considering sending out my hi beat islander for a DLC coating 😉
I think there's two? An SKX and one of the Pilots?
Very sharp! To bad they built it for giants.
LOL, true.
I like the one with the green background. I wonder, though, with the lume being so narrow on the hands (seems a bit out of proportion to the bezel lume), how soon does the glow go away?

I hear that
500 metre? That's deeper than the Empire State is tall? Some folk must have some serious swimming pools.
ha!
Love the 6139 Marc, I was wearing mine yesterday, such cool old watches. You can get new H link bracelets for these from Uncle Seiko if you find the original too loose & rattlely!
I'm digging the original feel
@@islandwatch Cool, glad you're enjoying it!
I love the grey and white. I want them both
For sure!
Gorgeous, I love the DLC, just a bit too big for me. Speaking of logos, the last two logos i have added to my collection included the LIW logo and the Octopus both of which i really like.
Totally agree
Same here. The gray is 🔥🔥🔥. Let's get a 42 or 43 variant
Getting all so close to Helm styling why am I not surprised these are sold out.
Great vid. Lovely mega watches. Cheers 🏴👍
Those Leviathans look terribly cool, but size…? I have slightly thicker wrists than yours, but I can't rock those at all; much more at-home with an Eagle Ray (are you ever getting the Miyota-equipped ER back in stock?).

2:00 Seiko’s first chrono? They had one for the Tokyo Olympics in the 1960s, didn’t they?
Love this brand, but wish they would do more models like the ones they used to have or at least restock. Lately it seems like all their new models are huge and/or much higher priced than previously. Am itching to get a smaller sized diver/sports watch or GMT from them, but it seems I missed my chance.
Love the green model. But I would have to put a steel bracelet on it. I'll have to inquire with them if they make one to fit this model.
... but they have yet to do a day-date! I might be wrong, but they haven't done a hi-beat, either.
They have 9015 divers.
Why this blue colour I see at the sphere corners? The watch looks amazing overall
Man, I like them especially that black one but i would off like more lume on the hands!
Maybe you can do multiple videos for the state of the collection. Can even space them out for yourself so you don’t have too much at once.
I'd rather do it once and done.
If it's 40mm or less case, I'll surely buy one! ( Maybe 2 if I like it ) Cheers!
Just can't get past that octopi logo....maybe one day I can own a non octopi one.
Really like this watch, but the 15.5mm thickness (height) is holding me back. I can go up to a 47mm watch on my wrist, but that “tall” of a watch has me thinking it will stick up/out way too much.
Love the blue one as looking for a cheaper option to the fantastic blue Pelagos. Pity they made it Invicta sized.
Lol. Good way to put it
Love this watch. Do you offer a bracelet that would fit this large watch? If so, which bracelet should I order?
I'd get the white one if the size was more reasonable...just way too big for my 6.5" wrist. Happy with my Phoibos Oceanmaster though.
They are one of the best values out there. Too bad it’s so big, probably not suited for my 6.5” wrist. Although I do wear the G-shock Mudmaster all the time. If the lugs were curved jus a bit it would be better. Two favorites are the black dial stainless and the white dial PVD.
G shock is probably much lighter too
@@islandwatch yes they are but the lug to lugs are about the same and the case diameter bigger. Weight doesn’t bother me. I have a Ball Master II Skindiver II and a Helm Vanuatu both on bracelets. Both hefty watches.
Yes. It would look great on my 8" wrist! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Best for me are the grey and the white.
Dammit I want the dlc dials in the stainless steel
Isn't that always the case
@@islandwatch it's a terrible addiction
Raise your hand if you want Marc to do a 55min video
How about just highlighting changes to your collection over the last year or two (both bought and sold changes)?
Nice one placing order in 5, 4, 3, 2.....
Yeah! Thank you
Do small series for your collection like TGV did before. Separate the episodes into diver, pilot, field, dress, luxury, etc.
Rather do it like a bandaid.
@@islandwatch can be five bandaids lol
Really nice maybe they will come out with a smaller version.
Perhaps.
I wish they made smaller sizes. I wanted a nymph but they are rare as hens teeth
Sure are.
Pho ibis is my next watch. I had to get my Islander first.
Nothing wrong there.
Like yourself I'm not usually a DLC fan but both of those variants look great! It's a shame they're enormous!😉
Also, I'm sure I'm not the only one who would enjoy a longer video :)
Lol. I know
I have a green coming. Need more green watches
still good?
1:20 but we want a 55 min video🙏🙌 or will settle with a 2 hour collection vid😏🤌
How about a series of SOTC videos?
I'd rather just get it over with.
Islander is better?)
Hey Marc, 2 videos with about 15 to 20 minutes each would be better regarding your collection.
I love me some DLC. Is there a DLC bracelet available for these?
Beautiful model!Please In your opinion, is too big to wrist of 17cm??
