Thank you for featuring the watch Pete! Incredible review and it is an honor to be on the channel!
Pre-Orders are now open for those interested! Limited quantity available at this price!
Let's put it this way. It's just great looking! It will be a noticed!
Thank you for the kinds words about the watch! Pre-orders are now open on the website!
Yes! I heard them mention you on the latest episode! The way the hour and second hand overlap the markers on this one does wonderful things to my brain lol. This one looks super fun!!!
I love when special things happen to my brain!!!
@@ChillinwitWatches lol
Was so cool you got the shout out
I like this one. Been following them on IG
I really like how the minute hand arrow matches up with the cardinal hour markers and how the second hand lollipop lines up with the other markers - really cool effect!
It's cool isn't it?
Thanks for noticing that and for the kind words! That took a lot of doing and is a feature that really sets the watch apart! Pre-Orders are open now on the website if you are interested!
All the best,
Ben
Loving the logo on that!
Love that i see your reflection on the polished bracelet, looks like you move a lot... almost dancing, while you film this Pete!
Cheers mate! Move it baby!!! 😉😄
PS Cool watch, love the black dial/ blue bezel combo, but the guilted hands... don't know... Massive crown though, can't be missed!
PS2 The logo could be of some soap brand of the early 00's. Not 2000, rather 1900 or even 1800!!! 😂😂😂
I noticed that while I was editing, I definitely talk with my hands!
This is an automatic buy for me. What a cool watch! It's like it was designed with my personal watch nerd aesthetic in mind. Faded out aluminum bezel?...check...gloss dial?...check...oversize crown?....check...box dome crystal?...check...gilt handset?....yup! Such a cool dial layout, with those hands and markers. The crown logo reminds me of a 1950's Kay archtop guitar...definitely has a strong 50s vibe going on. I'm usually not down with bracelet polish either, but I think what makes the outer polished link design on the bracelet work well is that they continue right on thru to the bezel, as opposed to stopping at the case, giving it some unique flair. Thanks for the heads up on this one, I will definitely be buying one.
Thank you for the support Floyd! I hope to be delivering you your watch when production models arrive! Please reach out any time if you need anything at all!
And in case you missed it, Pre-Orders are now open on the site!
All the best,
Ben
excellent review beautiful watch
I agree with you on thickness. The new Smiths Commander is a thicc boy, but it wears very well.
Great detailed review. You covered all details - well done! Only detail I’m wondering about: it must have ghost position for the date with that movement?
Yea, the NH35 has a date mechanism
AmazBalls watch! ⚓️The size and aesthetics captured me, this will be in my watch box.
Fantastic chilled rolling review, great graphics, very knowledgeable…
I’ve Subscribed!
My man, thank you 🙏Amazeballs for sure!!! 😂😂
So glad you liked it and thank you for the kind words about the watch!! Pre-Orders are open now on the website! (if you already ordered, thank you for the support!!)
@@imperialwatchco.1353 @Chillin’wit’Watches Great strategic promo across channels - Watch is ordered!🔥⚓️
supernice review
I may need to get one of these
I think so too!! ;)
Pre-Orders are now open on the website! The discounted price won't last forever!
I want a Tudor, but this looks great for a fraction of the price… how do they compare?
I love it and I totally agree with you!
Why you wore the watch on the right wrist?
What was that on your left arm??😊
I started a sleeve tattoo on my left! Healing...
@@ChillinwitWatches Nice! I thought so but wasn't sure.
Thank you for your kind words about the watch! Pre-Orders are open now for a $100 discounted price!
The video review really got my attention to the watch! In the video, it looks like the bezel had some backplay - is that true, or is the bezel action solid?
There is back play after turning. Once settled into position it's very solid
That's one great looking watch! Great job Imperial
Thank you very much for the kind words! Pre-Orders are now open on the site if you are interested in supporting!
Man that is good looking!
Ain't it a beauty!!!
Thank you! Pre-Orders are open now for a $100 discounted price!
Hey, Pete. I hope you’re doing well. Asking for advice. I’m looking to buy a couple of unique/cool dials for builds (standard 28.5mm NH35 dials with 3 o’clock dial feet) and wondered if you could point me to some vendors other than the big guys (Namoki, DLW, Lucius Atelier, etc). I remember you mentioned some guys named 5 brothers or something (went through your vids but couldn’t find them) who made a couple of cool dials for sale. Guys like that. I’m open to any design as long as the quality is good. Thanks in advance for any help. Happy Thanksgiving!
Hey what's up Cecil! @cincomenteshorology on insta, they make dials, and they have cool SNZH case. Raffles on eBay had some cool sterile dials too.
@@ChillinwitWatches Hey, man! Haven’t seen any vids from you lately, so figured you were crazy busy. Appreciate the tips! I’ve actually bought some dials and hands from Raffles Time on eBay. Quality stuff. But Cinco Mentes! That’s the kind I’m looking for! Going to have to use my wife’s Insta since I’m a social media hermit and don’t have an account 😁. Have a great Thanksgiving, Pete! Take care.
@@cecilyau4440 not sure of any others, maybe Seikolodi, also on insta. I just needed a break, I have stuff coming in, more vids soon!
What a beauty - ta
Thank you! Pre-Orders are open now for a $100 discounted price!
Saw pictures of this watch a couple months ago and have been twitterpated ever since. Long list of things to like.
However, after your review, I am on the fence about buying. I wish there was a bit of contrast around the outside
of the hands so it was easier to do that "in a glance" time check. The vintage look to the markers is a bit more
yellow than I was expecting. Still digging the watch, just maybe not as deep. Thanks for the review.
Excited to review this one myself! I’m not usually a guilt fan, but MANNNNN it looks so good with this dial, and especially the contrasting bezel insert! Uh….what’s up with the wrist swap? Inquiring Watch nerds want to know…
First to ask!! There was a hint in the video why I'm going Destro....
Just spotted it! Silly me, I was focused on the watch! You suckered me in to rewatching…😂
@@WatchWitt lol, that's amazing. I assumed you didn't care enough, I'd have just told you! 😂😂😂 Healing in progress...
@@ChillinwitWatches 😂 I skipped the ads though…not watching those again for you! 😂 Looking forward to see wrist shots on the left again soon….!
👍
great design! wish minute hand arrow wasn't same size as hour markers but otherwise i love it
Being the same size is so crucial tho, else it wouldn't eclipse the markers. Perhaps segmenting the lume in the hour hand would make easier to differentiate from the minute...
Looks nice, no way I'm paying 350, never mind 450 for an NH35. There are too many options in the 250-300 range to justify this. The polished end links really ruin the aesthetic of a skin diver... These low end micros are getting a BIT too ambitious with the pricing considering how bloated the market is.
This is an exact copy of the vintage Eberhard Scafograf 200, even the logo is very similar.
First thing I said in the video!
@@ChillinwitWatches a tad bit more than "inspired" imho😅... There are many scafograf 200 version with big crown too
@@scuba-dou and NH35? I don't pick nits, it's an homage, who cares right? It's awesome!
That slanted logo is a firm "NO."
I like stuff other than the regular shit !!!!!!!
Me too! Pre-Orders are open now for a $100 discounted price! It won't last forever though!
Dial looks dirty😂
That's probably me, I am terrible about remembering to wipe dust off the crystal, or even off my camera lenses! Spit and polish is definitely not my thing!
This is only a copy of an Eberhard scafograf MCMLIX
It's not a Hamilton king Kaki !
Definitely not! But I have to confess, I have no idea what point you're trying to make...
Oh the fit for a king reference?
They didnt really make something. Just ripped off a well known design and stuck on a brandname to not get into copyright issues... on par with san martin etc. Chinese made, ripped off design.
