Thank you for saying that buddy-

Nice Watch and very nice description. Thanks

Beautiful watch! 👌🏻

Thank u for the video. I really wanted to see this watch. I think I’ll grab one now.

Such an awesome looking watch 👍🏼. As soon as they release it on a bracelet I’m picking one up.

Can't believe they didn't install a high beat movement in such a nice looking watch a miyota 9015 would be good . depends on price . if this is 4 to 500 that is to high for an 8000 series miyota

Looks superb, would love if they also made a no date version. Superb watch.

A useful, straightforward and enjoyable review, thank you. It's motivated me to order one when they're next available. Stay safe. J-P

Thank you for those words.

Very retro, cool watch. I already have a blue Superman vintage 39mm blue, but after seeing this watch I'm seriously consider getting it. I've never seen a blue watch I did not like, from my collection Omega, Tag, Yema, Square, Orient.... all divers !! Adding one more would be Very nice indeed.

I just ordered one, literally half hour ago, black dial with the blue stripe. I can't wait to get it.

How do u like the black dial? Idk that blue just pops for me but out of stock for now. They said sometime this summer should b restocked.

Waiting for someone to do a watch review in ski gloves.

Yea, It does look like I'm going to kidnap the watch.

I'm thinking about getting me a new watch. Date window at 4 o'clock would provide the possibility to print a "3" on the dial. Plus it would be nicht, if there was a possible to get an ETA or Sellita replacement for the movement. Some suppliers ask for probably +150 EUR and you get a way better watch.

Never heard of this brand or this watch until a few days ago. Was on the fence for a bit. Been thinking about a vintage-inspired diver for about this price. Didn't need a new watch. Saw this video. Watch is on the way :) Blue on blue. Good job.

@@MidknightMechanics Well I've had the watch for a couple weeks and I fully understand your reaction to it when you first saw it. It's friggin' gorgeous. I put mine on a jubilee and occasionally a Barton rubber strap. The tropical strap it came with is a little soft for my liking. Though comfortable. I'm okay with the non-hacking movement and the rotor sound has actually become an enjoyable quirk and it's been running typically withing +8s/day. I'm okay with that. It's consistent. It's become a regular part of my rotation and I don't see that changing. Hope you're still enjoying yours. It's a gem of a watch.

If i get a diver watch, it'll be this one. Great look. The movement is a bit disappointed. At this price, a slightly higher-end, hacking, movement, such as a miyota 9015 would have been welcome.

Myota 9015 please !!!!?

I love having a date on my watch, which is why I like this better than the Vaer.

@@MidknightMechanics Do you think the domed crystal could be a problem with hitting/scratching things? It seems like it is raised quite a bit. It also looks like the crystal maginifies the face at the edges when looking at it more from the side. I ask these questions because I am actually thinking of this watch as an option for this style. Thanks!

Everyone is complaining about the movement... it’s so silly... They are relaunching their brand with this model after many years in the coma. They probably made the decision to launch a beautiful watch with a cheap movement to control the cost and bring back customers to this old but forgotten brand. If they had relaunched with a first watch at $1000 they would probably stay forgotten. They will be launching a new model in 2021 with a 3039 movement. I am sure people will then complain about cost..... anyway, beautiful watch especially considering the price, you get a lot of watch for it. Thanks for the detailed review. Good job.

Do you know anything else about the new model in 2021? This is a beautiful looking watch that I am considering buying. But I may hold out and pay a bit more if a better model is on the horizon.

I partly disagree with your comment. In my opinion it would have been better to spend the Malouine a Miyota 9015 and increase the price up to $100. This would have raised the price/performance enormously. Anyway, it’s still good value for money. That’s why I have ordered one (blue dial and strap).

It's a Mechanical watch not automatic..

I think you’re confused. It’s a mechanical watch that can wind itself with wrist movement which is called an Automatic. Also has hand winding. The 8215 MIYOTA's signature standard mechanical movement. Size: 11 1/2'''; Height: 5.67mm; Accuracy: -20～＋40 sec/day;

Midknight Mechanics I think it looks fantastic I personally think as a very high end look to it. Love the blue hues the dome gives off and the retro look

So basically a chinese watch.

Your comment is a little stupid no matter that some parts are made in China but still I heart and manufacture in Japan and go up in France.
