“Extremely happy with this watch. It has the feel of something far more expensive. Clean design, good size, quality strap, excellent lume, sapphire crystal, and is keeping perfect time so far.
I would love to see a special edition with a small F-14 silhouette at 6 o'clock and a titanium case.
As always, fantastic service and communication. Thanks so much!”
“Awesome what Marc is doing, it’s a great response to seiko messing with Seiko 5 line
I was probably never going to get into watch modding or get what I wanted “off the shelf” without going to more expensive european brands
This replaces my SNZG13 as a daily beater because I couldn’t live without manual winding on my daily auto.
I prefer bracelets, but the thick premium leather strap is working well for me and offers interesting possibilities for wrist positioning that I can’t get with a bracelet.
I find the sterile dial a little strange.
Fantastic looking watch, awesome value, sapphire crystal, DLC stainless steel case, lavishly lumed A type aviator dial with a very legible date in place of the 3.
The bright orange second hand looking good at 6Hz
adds the spark of colour you need to draw your attention to the watch.
And then he nearly gives them away, $199, what?”
“The tip of the minute hand goes all the way to the minute markers. This was important to me. Orange second hand. Nothing on the dial, with DLC to absorb light and draw you eyes to what is important, the time. NH35, check. sapphire crystal, check. F14 tomcat, check.”
“Really nice watch, the Dial is beautiful and grabs my eyes whenever I look in it's general direction. The blasted and DLC coated case looks great, the F14 on the caseback is a cool little bit of history. The leather strap feels like good quality, it started a little stiff but it's breaking in nicely and is softening up.”
“After a lot of online looking for a mechanical watch, we bought this as a gift for our son. It's not easy to find what he was looking for... there are plenty of diver watches, variations of skeleton watches, etc., but not so much choice for something simple.
He likes that it is uncluttered (only extra thing is the day of the month, which is great), has Arabic numerals, is not too large, has the "hacking" function, and has good illumination.
Also, Marc promptly answered my questions about shipping. It was shipped quickly and got to our son in plenty of time for his birthday. Thank you!”
