Such a professional review! Phoibos is an impressive brand. I have three of 'em and love them all. Seiko could take some pointers from the brand. Tremendous quality at their price points.
@@goodrich06 Their first original design, the Wavemaster, followed by the titanium Apollo (which nearly can somewhat rival my two grand costing titanium Tutima M2 Seven Seas) and then the 2nd Gen Apollo as well. Just basic Seiko movements inside all, but very pleasing build quality, and of course ceramic bezels and sapphire crystals. Would be awesome if they started using the Miyota 9000 series, as their standard movement, but that's just nit picking. Definitely satisfying for the price points.
This was such a classy production on your part. What a fantastic value this piece is, with just an overall amazing design. Especially that bracelet. It suits you perfectly. This is probably my second favorite design by Phoibos. Second only to the Phoibos, "Great Wall." Honestly, I was really impressed with your videography, and photography skills, throughout this production. The music selection just suited it so well, and provided a very calming demeanor, throughout. Honestly, it felt as if I was watching a production, from PBS. I don't know how much PBS you've watched, throughout the years, but as someone who has watched countless hours of their documentaries, I feel that they produce some of the most amazing productions to date, on a regular basis. And that's the vibe that this review gave me. Just a real pleasure to watch. Fantastic job DK
Very high praise. I always value your input on the channel. It's a great watch but it's greatest strength is bringing together like minded individuals sharing our mutual passion for a specific style of watch enthusiasm🤘
@@degenerateWA I couldn't agree with you more, and thank you. Hey DK, I know that you're very busy, and if you can't, i understand, but I have a favor to ask. There's a like minded kid, that I chat with from time to time, that I'm trying to direct some traffic to his site. The name of his channel is, "Watch Collectors Guild." I can tell he's a nice kid, that's passionate about the hobby, and who wants to share that passion with other like minded individuals. You know how it is, to put a substantial amount of time, and effort, into the production of these videos, and to feel that they aren't, especially well received. I'm sure it can be very discouraging. Sometimes, even that one or two extra people, appreciating what your trying to do, can make all the difference. Like I said, I know how busy you are, and if you can't, i completely understand. If you can, his name is James, and it's very much appreciated. Take care
@@tarasmathers7423 what a coincidence. I went to check out his channel and saw that I literally just watched his Aragon Seacharger video yesterday lol. Seems like content that's right up my alley, thanks for the recommendation.
@@degenerateWA Lol....ya know, life never ceases to amaze me. Thanks a lot homie. I knew if there was anyone who could appreciate what I was asking, it would be you. Low and behold, you already beat me to the punch. LOL. He really is a nice young guy. I think he just a little reserved in his demeanor. Hey big fella, out of curiosity, any plans for the "Gladiator," in the near future? Just wondering. I'll tell you, I really have developed a lot of reverence for Seiko, as a brand, and what they've done for horology, as a whole. But I've really developed a major interesting in Grand Seiko. To me, they are awe inspiring, especially their "Heritage Collection." They just make, and have been making, for a long time, so many awesome timepieces, IMHO.
You got a good discount. It's a nice watch, I have an older Phoibos and really like it. I had a bracelet with mine and it was also ok but I have it on a rubber dive strap. But I usually just use it diving. Many dive watches come on bracelets as everyone knows, but when we use them as backups normally we'd put them on a rubber strap anyway.
This green dial brushed with concentric cyrcles is gorgeous! Combines very well with the original bracelet the middle part of which reminds me a snake skin. The brown nylon or leather nato combos look right in place in my book :) Thank you for the review!
That watch is very nice, for me it is all about the bracelet. I like the look of a NATO...on someone else. But, on my wrist, I struggle with the "ears" that stick out on both sides. Great video!!! Creeping up to the 4000 subscribers!!!!
You sure put a lot of effort into your videos. Well done. I really like this watch and I'm trying NOT to buy it. But you're not helping. I have so many watches.
My other watch friend keeps calling me the "enabler". I think we all help dig each other deeper and deeper into this addiction lol. Appreciate the positive feedback. Try browsing around the watch exchange subreddit; there's always someone trying to offload their mint condition watch for dirt cheap.

Couldn't agree more.
Which ones do you have? 🐙

@@135ipocketrocket2 that's cool! Are you pretty satisfied with them? I just ordered the 🍋 Voyager...my first Phoibos.
@@135ipocketrocket2 which colors did you get?

I see the snake skin pattern too. Paired with the green color it's very much like a serpent🤘
The nato strap emergency supply case is official for this video 👍
Dude, $3 at Walmart in the fishing aisle. Best organizer I've purchased for the watch hobby ever.
This is my favorite part. I love the B roll with family. I'm about to copy you.😁
Do it man. IMO it makes the channel so much more fun and it gets the ol' lady involved with the filming process too.

Crazy right? We might actually be on to something here🤘😎🤘
That leather is a whole vibe!
Also #facts🤘
Beautiful looking piece
My collection is a blessing. And... a curse...
@@degenerateWA yeah u probably have already spend the equivalent of a bike lmao
It's a shame about the date window, I love everything else about that watch.
It is a solidly made watch for sure. Very impressed with Phoibos' abilities and hopefully there's a Kraken 2.0.
Dope video as usual bro
I've been called the Francis Coppola of our time😎
I dont personally own one of these. I have an Invicta Kraken lol. This is an awesome looking piece. 🔥🔥🔥
I was impressed, but not surprised that I was🤘
I love Phoibos, great watches!
#facts. That brand has consistently produced outstanding quality and beautifully interesting models IMO.
I really like this watch, very nice!
I don't blame you, it's a great looking piece🤘
I like that caseback.

#PrestigeSyndicate #BIGTIMEGANG beautiful piece brotha! Green Nato strap for the win
I feel ya, I was thinking the same thing🤘
I love lume shots
Lumeshots=life
A great review! I like the 🐙
Awesome, thanks for the positive feedback.
Bro I'm all into green dials.
Such a clean look. On watches, cars, anything.
You put that watch through the ringer 🤣
I put it through the #dadlife gauntlet😎
$405 is definitely better than $450
