    I got the green dial when it launched. Its stunning value for the money you pay. Only thing to consider is the engineer bracelet doesnt taper down . Its 22mm in width and some can struggle with that size to wear. The whole case design reminds me alot Tudor black bay in shape and hight. Those who like thicker cases will love wearing the Phoibos.

    I'm one of the lucky ones who got the PY010E abalone shell Wavemaster. What a *gorgeous* dial in person! The way it catches the light is mesmerizing. To give a sense of how awesome it is, when the box arrived, my wife's first reaction was, "Oh no... another watch? Really?!" But once I opened the box and took this beauty out, she looked at it silently for about 10 seconds and then said, "Wow. I want to hate it, but I just can't. That's amazing." :) The bezel feel is solid, the markers + bezel numbers + chapter ring alignment is great, I love the bluish lume, and the bracelet design is intriguing. Thanks for finding this one, Marc!

    Hello, I'm a Kiwi and in New Zealand we call that shell "Paua" roughly pronounced (pahwah). Due to our cold waters the Paua shell tends to be the most vibrant of Abalone shells. Not quite my thing on a watch but it makes fantastic dot markers on a guitar neck!

    For completeness sake don't forget the signed crown. Suuuper significant!
    It's a great value watch - I have one of the green ones and I'm very happy with it. The lume is long lasting and the watch runs ~5s/day fast.The bezel on mine has less backplay, but it's noticeable. My principal criticism is the bracelet - it has slightly sharp, unfinished edges. It also weighs a fair bit. I think I will take it off the watch and do some gentle work on the inside edges with 400 grit sandpaper. Having said that, the engineer bracelet looks fine and is super flexible.

    Sadly I bought one of the older models of the wavemaster. The screws in the bracelet were tiny and had some sort of glue holding them in. I took it to two different watch repair shops to try and adjust the bracelet. It never worked and with the lame bezel and gross chunky ness, I just decided to get rid of it. Much happier with the skx013

    Hey, Mark. Are you ordering as many of these watches from Phoibos as you can? It seems that as soon as you get them in, they’re gone pretty quick. I know they’re a smaller producer so you may be somewhat limited to what you can order.

    Excellent video . I just ordered my Abalone Wavemaster from the EU Phobios website . But now I’ve heard that the rubber strap isn’t very long ?! Which is disappointing as I was hoping to use it for diving when on holiday . I’m a Divemaster so I really want to use it but I need to put it on over the sleeve of my wetsuit !? With it 7mm thick - Any suggestions ? Could I fit an aftermarket strap to it that’s longer 🤿
    Thanks for your time - in advance 🙏🏻

    The quality control disappointed me.
    The presented bezel in this video is disappointing but I'm sure some people got lucky with their wavemaster and have super good bezel action.
