I ordered that orange fume on day one! September cannot come soon enough! Thank you for your review.

appreciate the low light section. Helps give a better idea of what the dials will look like in real life.

Thanks for reviewing the Ascent mate! ❤❤

Jody is heading in a good direction i think. Started with a 'safe design' dive watch to get talked about, and now launched a type that pleases everyone with solid specifications. The dial options are the cherry on the top.

How not?

I was not expecting these to be as good as they are! I'm going to get the blue or black enamel dial. I love the look of this.

A point of clarification. It's not the engineers that drive features and ID design. Engineers design the watch to meet the specs and look and feel the product owners want. Typically they have limited say except for saying no not possible for the price or the technology we have today. Otherwise, anything is possible with enough money and time.

Nice video, the only video which is bringing out the best shots of the orange fume dial , i pulled the trigger on the orange fume and ordered the J style bracelet also as an add on.

I’m so glad I bought the orange fume, incredibly gorgeous dial! Mind you that aventurine is something else too! I loved your review Mark, loved the light transition shots which only your channel does ;)

Another great review !

You've gotta be a real R or dyed in the wool watch idiot savant, brand loyal, swiss watch mafia soldier to buy a Mido or a Rado. Especially over _this_ watch. JFC. Those brands are a money laundering operation first and a watchmaker second. Never once has seen one outside of a dusty old jewelry case.

These look great!

Nice review Mark, you covered all the bases. I've subscribed.

Oh, that is so lovely and so sweet! Everybody absolutely loves Jody. Why not? Do any of you know who he is underneath the KZread persona? And for all the negativity I’ll get for sure- I do. I had the non pleasure to meet a very different side of the guy. So preemptively I will say, “That’s my experience with the bully”, and I don’t give a toss about how you all react……….

@@thadeusbaggins9967 got the screenshots, not for public view. Yet he came on me with a full aggressive and abusive onslaught, after I humoristically suggested, that following his ultra condescending take down of Sarb017 owners who should get rid of the watch because they are not mountaineers- That all dive watch owners throw away their pieces, if they aren’t professional divers. Or that all pilots watch owners get rid of them- if they’re not professional pilots…… In short, I suggested that his logic isn’t that applicable, in most cases. How dared I 🙀…

How is the aventurine compared to CW sealander celeste?

Love the Orange fume variant. One sole downer for me is that perhaps they should have just kept the logo and removed the erebus text.

This picks up where Seiko should have with the SARB.

Great value

If these were brand names they would cost 3x more. The “in house movement” would have probably been the same movement with a custom rotor and better finishing/tolerances. Amazing value and quality with these.

Is it just the lighting in these videos or is the orange fume closer to a brown than an orange?

It’s a burnt orange, so halfway between the two. Will look more orange outside and more brown indoors I expect

I think the O bracelet will help tone down the dressy aspect of the watch, not to mention throwing it on a strap, e.g. vintage leather, suede….def potential strap monster, depending on dial choice

@ollyw2897

@@encol7953 yeah you’re right. I’d defo go for the O style. As much as the Aventurine dial (or whatever it’s called) is popular. It’s extra bling and I think a novelty rather than a serious choice. For me it would be white dial or green Fume on an O style. Only one day left to decide! Or I could just buy tiles for my bathroom which is what I really should be doing. 😅

@@ollyw2897 Well, your shortlist choices are a real coincidence…I couldn’t make a decision between the white dial and green fume myself, so ended up buying both…which was actually my wife’s suggestion (God bless her!). I selected those because I felt they were classic in look which would give me greater wear out of them. Talk about parallel universes…I also have an ensuite shower that needs tiling repairs…maybe next month ;)

These are great but not perfect. The lume on the second hand counterbalance looks silly and the lack of a display caseback is a very odd decision given the type of watch.

Man, the green fumé dial one looks so nice.

Beautiful timepieces. However, at first glance, the brand‘s logo looks a bit similar to the one of Henry Archers‘s emblem.

if only, if only... 2 more millimetres... I think I will save the money and buy Longines Spirit 42mm in the end...

Jody's watches don't inspire me. Just put out a bland, generic design and then spam colorways in the hope of gap-filling some budget watch enthusiasts low rent collection. I wonder what his next generic offering will be? Probably a military/field, ripping off some Hamilton, Vertex, or Laco.

Massive thank you. You just made my decision happen. I was frustrated with all the reviews. Because NoNe showed the case package. I was thinking it was going to be a plastic boring box. @onemorewatch please point this out because it adds great value and separates you from the rest #onemorewwtch
