I watched this when I first woke up, and I am just now finding time to comment. That’s a beautiful watch for sure. Thanks as always for the great review!
Lovely review John, nice little watch with some big presence. I have a hand wind Marloe Coniston, and a Myota 9015 powered Marloe Morar dive watch, both lovely quality. Believe Gordon from Marloe is working on the second version of the.Morar, which should be very interesting. Keep up the excellent reviews, always with a personal touch, and the legendary “cupboard of doom” 😀
Hi Junior. Everything about Marloe says quality, from the ease of use on their site to the watches themselves and the excellent customer service. Over the last few years, basic expectations have fallen dramatically...not so at Marloe! Glad you enjoyed the content. Remember to subscribe :)
A tad small for me, but looking at the generally large watches on sale today, this is a great size for the guys with smaller wrist. I prefer the dive style watch, but having said that, this a little beauty. Well done Marloe.
I saw a deal on their Haskell Global when they were close to selling out so I decided to give Marloe a go. Very pleased overall but I found the lume a let down on a GADA, which with its sandblasted case and 100m WR this watch is. Mine is Swiss Made with a hand wind Sellita which is keeping excellent time. I don't know if Marloe go the extra mile with regulation or if I got a good one. I'd recommend the brand but if you like Seiko diver strength lume you may be disappointed. They do offer 30 day as new returns though which is good.
Thanks for sharing. They may have improved the Lume as this one as you can see is a torch and keeps up with my Seestern S430 which is my current Lume champ! Like what they are doing and this piece is also very well regulated but I usually wear them for extended periods to get a real read on accuracy.
Marloe make good watches . Hi I just bought a steel dive 1953 but I’m not sure what size of screws it has as they never supplied the tool only a push tool . If you can help it would be much appreciated. Cheers
Hi buddy. Have never had that watch but probably standard. Always handy to have these small watch kits handy. It would probably be a 1mm which I believe has a red ring around the top of it or a 1.3mm which has a grey ring around the top of it. Best to get a wee kit for future use. Hope this helps :)
I still have mine and they are on sale just now. I know because I thought about pulling the trigger on a second one in a different colour. I love it ;)
That really is a gorgeous watch, I absolutely love it. But it is only 35mm dia. and that's smaller than any watch I've ever owned except my Tissot from 1970! I'd hate to have to send it back because it looks too small - if that's even an option from here in Germany. My 39mm Addiedive is the smallest I own and it looks small on my 7" wrist. I'm really agonising - buy it or sadly just decide to pass. Decisions, decisions! ............. Sod it! I've just gone and ordered one!!!
You will love it. Honestly...it's also my smallest watch and it took getting used to but I wear it whenever I can. A gorgeous watch with a clean look that will also take a beating. They call it the Little Tank. ...and it's from Scotland!
@@johnswatchjoint My 'Tay' arrived this afternoon and I really love it - but: it IS small, smaller than any watch I've bought over the last 40 years, and that's quite a few. The second problem is the leather strap. It looks very classy but it is very stiff, to such an extent that the watch rides up in the air under the crown, the far side remaining firmly in contact with the wrist. I also bought a Berny Milanese strap which allows the watch to sit flat on the wrist perfectly so the leather strap probably needs wearing-in. As you will gather, I've started wearing the watch so a return is no longer possible but I'm hopeful that the size will prove less of an issue as I get used to it's size on the wrist. On balance, I do not regret my purchase one iota, and it really is a beautiful watch. Just the size and leather strap weigh on the negative side though I expect the strap will improve quite substantially with wear. Your video made me aware of Marloe watches and the Tay, so i have you to thank for relieving my wallet of €370 and replacing it with a watch I'm going to love wearing.
The leather strap will take a few days. Use your fingers to manipulate it. Once it fits that's it. It will be very comfortable. ...and once you wear 35mm for a while you won't want to go back to dinner plates in the wrist ;)
Great Watch and not a bad bracelet but most of the steel straps are poor in my opinion, if they can up the quality in that area then they simply will not go wrong. I currently have three in the collection.
Mate what happened to you? I completely missed that...🤔 Man it's a beautiful corner of the world you live in. As for the watch, it's beautiful. I think it has the perfect size, albeit a bit overpowered by the bund strap. But it's exactly the kind of watch I would like to see with a brushed case rather than with a polished one.
Hi Alex. The bund is a cheap 70's throwback but I will get a bespoke one made for it. I do like to wear certain watches on a bund occasionally but not all the time. Just reminds me of the old Timex I used to wear...nostalgia is a powerful thing!
Haha. She had just been given a ticking off for bringing me a baby blue tit...it was fine as I caught her just as she caught it and I put it back in the box where the parents were. They were going nuts! :)
Unfortunately...though she has a soft mouth and usually just plays as she knows I feed and look after birds. I have saved probably thirty or so over the last three or four years. They really have their own personalities, especially house sparrows!
My wallet wants a word with you (again). Heading to their website now.
Yikes....sorry my friend...honest!
I know i am tempted as well .
I watched this when I first woke up, and I am just now finding time to comment. That’s a beautiful watch for sure. Thanks as always for the great review!
Thanks Albert. I am really chuffed with this one :)
It is an amazing looking watch
Nice review , lovely looking watch .
Real eye candy , some times simple looking watches are stunners . And so we have the Marloe .I love it .
Sometimes watches give you an emotional response. I love mine. Thanks for watching :)
Another excellent review, thank you!
I'm thoroughly impressed with Marloe, this is such a fantastically handsome watch, and priced just right.
Couldn't agree more!
Great review, John! I’m glad you put this brand on my radar. Such a lovely dial design, and the packaging looks incredible.
Hi Harvind...a proper buying experience. Everything was and is a joy with this one. I am happy...can you tell haha??
Very nice John, and thank you for sharing.
Thanks Felo!

Thanks Neil . Always good to hear someone else who likes the brand and who has handled them :)
Wearing mine now..the rotor spins and spins..really nice unfurling and I thank you for a review that helped me buy it. Got it fast AF!👍👍👍
Glad I could help! ☺️
Good review John 👍 the website is easy & very nice to use even a old guy like me can figure it out 1953 . I really like the yellow .

Thank you. It punches well above its weight and the value for money is superb!
It looks quite cool and original, thanks for showing us!
Glad you like it!
Lovely review, of a lovely watch. Nice one.

Great review, I'm glad you like it so much 👍

Thanks for the review! Glad to see it on multiple straps as well. What size is your wrist?

It's a lovely watch.
A proper little stunner.

8 months on, how's it bearing up?
Still loving it 😌
With time now passed, have you noticed any issues with the downward lugs pressing into the skin? Any update would be very appreciated. Thanks.....
No, not at all. It's still in my collection and is on my wrist now :)
@@johnswatchjoint Thank you! Glad to hear it.

I own number 28 Itten x
Love my little itten yellow 💛
What is your wrist size? I have a 7 inch wrist and a little worried about the 35mm size
I mention it in all my videos 6.75 inches.
Thanks that really looks good
I still have mine and they are on sale just now. I know because I thought about pulling the trigger on a second one in a different colour. I love it ;)
A great size.
Thank you. So happy you agree :)

Cool Jon.
Please send me some photos via email. Would like to see those :)
@@johnswatchjoint On the way.
Ive a small 6inch wrist.
Fits me well bigger wrists notao
So nuch
Much ffs😅
I love ittten 😊
Mate what happened to you? I completely missed that...🤔 Man it's a beautiful corner of the world you live in. As for the watch, it's beautiful. I think it has the perfect size, albeit a bit overpowered by the bund strap. But it's exactly the kind of watch I would like to see with a brushed case rather than with a polished one.
Hi Alex. The bund is a cheap 70's throwback but I will get a bespoke one made for it. I do like to wear certain watches on a bund occasionally but not all the time. Just reminds me of the old Timex I used to wear...nostalgia is a powerful thing!
It's a braw watch, I prefer the yellow....too wee for me but have to say they've done a fantastic job....🏴⌚🏴⌚
Cheers Brian ;)
That’s a cracking watch, Molly looks a bit cross, does she not like it?
Haha. She had just been given a ticking off for bringing me a baby blue tit...it was fine as I caught her just as she caught it and I put it back in the box where the parents were. They were going nuts! :)
@@johnswatchjoint she sounds like ours, birdlifes equivalent of death on 4 legs…
Unfortunately...though she has a soft mouth and usually just plays as she knows I feed and look after birds.
I have saved probably thirty or so over the last three or four years. They really have their own personalities, especially house sparrows!
My first mechanical watch?
Well done. It's a beauty.
I own number 28 ittern.
Itten😊
An absolute cracker John! I think it gets forgotten these days that men didn't always wear huge watches.
Yeah...I am moving to smaller pieces now for sure !
Correct one of my uncles was six foot three and built like a barn door, the last watch he had was 35mm which I now have.
