“This is obviously Mark's take on a Rolex Datejust. It is nicely done and very comfortable. I personally would have left off the lume marker at the 3:00 position. I was expecting the blue dial to be a little darker but it is still a nice dial. The hands I would have preferred to be a little tapered like a Datejust but let's face it it's not a Datejust. The bracelet is very comfortable and it was easy to size thanks to Mark including the right size screwdriver to accomplish this. Overall I like the watch very much. I wore it for 4 days straight never taking it off as I sleep with whatever watch I am wearing and it lost 10 seconds in the 4 days. Not bad IMO. If you want a nice watch that goes good with jeans or a suit give it a try. I think you'll be impressed.”
“Bought based on company rep & YouTube videos. Was expecting to give 5 stars, but after a day, have found 3 items which I wish were executed different to the point where I was expecting to buy more, but now holding back. I was willing to pay even more given the design, but now not sure I would because of the relative let down... Onto the three niggles: (1) the clasp is the weakest tactile part of the watch. I wish we had spent a little more $ on the clasp and gone away from the "generic diver" clasp to a more "a la first generation Seamaster" single block clasp. for a specific example, I Just purchased a San Martin vintage Rolex homage diver and that clasp is above expectation... (2) the lume is so weak I can't discern any lume in a dark environment 20 min after hitting the watch w/ a tactical flashlight @ 3/4 brightness... (3) Weak dial for being labeled as a "starburst" dial. The blue doesn't pop nearly as much as I expected after watching more than one YouTube video”
“A beautiful watch at a great price. If you're tired of wearing clunky automatic dive watches, this one's for you. Even on my larger wrist, the 38mm case wears and looks great. This has everything you could want in a decent watch. All the right specs are there. I love the blue Sunray dial paired with the fluted bezel! The Miyota 9015 runs better than the ETA in my Hamilton. The lume (in a dress watch) is on par with Seiko. While this watch is thin, light and beautiful, it still has a nice weight to it on the wrist with a decent braclet. The applied logo looks really classy on this one. I've kinda grown tired of that whole dive aesthetic ever since I started collecting watches. I hope there's more watches like this down the line. I really enjoy wearing this one so far.”
“Always wanted a watch with a fluted bezel. Together with the stick hands and baton markers give it the look of a Rolex Oyster or Date-Just. I love that! Looks much nicer in person than in the photos. The bracelet looks great with brushed / polished links. I like that it's tapered. Also very nice is that it's fastened with screws, not push pins. I very much appreciate that the watch came with a tiny screwdriver for bracelet sizing. Should be a great daily wearer. I'm not familiar with the 9015 movement, time will tell, but it's reputed to be a good one. This movement does have the advantage of a 4 Hertz seconds hand - more refined - as opposed to the more coarse 3 Hertz movements in the standard Seiko watches. Overall, it's a beautiful watch for the price and I'm very happy with this purchase. If you're on the fence, don't be, go ahead and get this one. It's a good find! Mark really hit a home run here!”
