I'd go for the EFR-S107D/L (besides taking from the Royal Oak and the Nautilus, it takes inspiration from the Omega Constellation too (the position of the screws) ). I'm more comfortable with round bezels.

They don't (officially) sell the 108 in the US. I actually wound up buying the ECB10, which was the first of the stainless Casioaks, because there were simply no GA2100s to be had when I first wanted one. It is definitely bigger, so you might not like it too much. (I have gotten a GA2100 since, though.)

I love how you don't waste any time and give us a very thorough yet concise overview of the pros and cons of the watches you review. You spend an ample amount of time with the watches and you actually have all your thoughts organized and present them in an efficient, informative, and strangely satisfying way. You don't just bust open a box and ramble on for 20 minutes without actually saying anything, and then complain about youtube comments and demonetization *cough* Time Teller *cough*.

The SKX was a value proposition becuse it was a well made ISO certifed diver for 200 bucks or less a few years ago. There were 100% problems with it and it wasnt the unicorn every acted it was (just look at the movement) but at the time you go get them for 200 dollars and under it was a good deal if you liked the looks and or wanted an ISO certified diver. Also while modding it can be expensive and there are better watch platforms to do that on (vostok comes to mind) but doing simple shit was not pricey like a bezel insert and crystal swap. The skx was over hyped but there was 100% a reason people reccomended it at the time. On top of that most channels who did review it werent focused on "value" watches anyway

After I started researching (and ended up buying a GA2100), I came across this and was wondering why this was not the go-to CasiOak already. Props for getting it up on your channel!

Though I have many more expensive watches, this is the one that has owned the vast majority of my wrist time over the past 6 months. Such a fantastic everyday watch, don’t have to worry about scratching the sapphire crystal. I’ve only set the watch once 6 months ago and the time is still perfect, not to mention how satisfying it is to see the second hand hit the markers every single tick. Love this watch!

Omg you have delivered once again. You know how long I was waiting for you to review this champ

I got this one months ago, I enjoy it a lot. The design and finishing is great for the price but don't expect too much. I noticed some minor flaws. But the fit of the watch is insane, it's so slim and I unironically got compliments for how it looks, it easily looks like 2000$+ on the wrist. It also has the perfect size, so if you can rock a quartz, go for it, it's really unique.

My bday is coming up and I was gonna get the other Edifice you had reviewed and I'm hoping this one is a small one because of my scarily small 6 inch wrists... Keep it up Ben!!

Great review Ben once again. As I'm not err... "currently" in the market for an AP Royal Oak so seeing your different options is of great interest to me. The Casioak looks great but is slightly larger than my shed but given the recent weather in the UK it is way more resilient to water than that of said shed. Now, that Edifice is definitely a worthwhile look, as with Casio watches that I have the second hand aligns well with the minute markers and the gold tone second hand contrasts well with the dial. I'm not usually a fan of a date at 3 but as this resides inside the hour marker I 'm OK with it. I might just have a look at this one post lock down..... or I just buy one.

Wow thank you! It looks great, added to my wishlist haha.

I bought one of these but it had to come from Germany. That watch is a gem, I'm very pleased with it.

Gonna go for the S107D. Prefer the green second hand to the gold. Love your content, keep up the good work! Cheers from India!

Thanks for this review, Ben! Are these folded links easy to size? I've had some affordable Seikos with folded links that defeated me 😬

I love how Ben is searching and scouring watches that is away from the mainstream watches brand and model.

Your reviews are brilliant and so is your attention to detail. There's one bugbear I have that you don't and that's the length of the minute hand for so many watches. I think they should be longer, up to the minute markers. The fact that they are not puts me off buying these brilliant value watches. I'll try and get some counselling or something. Maybe hypnotherapy would work. Yes, I have bought a digital for the first time in decades.

I’ve gotten mine last December, couldn’t help it when I first saw it haha

This Casio is so fantastic, I never seen a watch like this combination oak with elegance of edifice

Hello Ben, great video as usual- and great job as well - It it already temporarily out of stock at Amazon, following your link. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤨

Where are you finding these Casio's!? This is brilliant and I could also do with a bit of click bait haha.

Is there any advantage, from a cost-standpoint, of having integrated lugs? Suppose Casio outsources bracelets to another company and said co. charges additional amounts for endlinks, hence Casio goes for the integrated option to save on bracelet costs. However, Casio now has to make a unique case that supports the integrated bracelet - which as we can see, requires more machining and material than a typical case - at a lower cost than purchasing the endlinks. I can't imagine the latter being cheaper than the former (not like the would-be endlinks requires lots of inputs) so what's the reason?

Just got it , currently my favourite out of 5 Casio

Thanks for bringing this to my attention, I was looking around today and wondering whether to go for something like the Edifice honda racing 20 yr anniversary edition. Does the patented lugs mean that you can't change the bracelet/strap on the watch? 😟

The one with the white dial looks so good. I wish that watch had a digital screen too.

Given your wrist size, you can check out the GMA - S2100, which, unfortunately is marketed as a women’s watch. However, its case diameter of 38mm would fit you perfectly and I bet there are some folks working on cranking out a Royal Oak mod for it!

Awesome vids Ben! You've gotta check out the Seiko SWR049, the affordable Tank Homage! hehe.. no one seem to be talking about it,hehe

I have a 6.5 inch wrist and the GA2100 fits me fine, because it's slim and shaped well it doesn't wear anywhere near as large as the numbers suggest.

Woww the white dial one looks gorgeous as well

This is a cleverly thought out homage design. At first when you said 51mm L2L, I thought it would look ridiculous on my tiny wrist. But as it worked on yours, I could definitive be rocking this. I'm one of those that think the Edifice logo is a bit much, but can live with it. Really love the structure of the dial, and 100m wr is really good.

I was wondering when you would review this one. :) I already bought it, had it for three months now. My two cons are the tiny date window and the integrated bracelet, which means you are stuck with the bracelet. Something that surprised me was the press down case back instead of screw down case back. You'd expect a screw down case back with 100m WR. Apart from that it's just a beautiful watch with the perfect size for most wrists. Great value for money.

Thank for this review Ben. Appreciated and annoying because now I have to order one too! Aqrgghhh hahahah. Quick Question: My wrist is 15.5cm too. On the 6 o'clock side, after taking out all the (removable) links, does the clasp end up squarely centre on your wrist's underside? Or is it closer to the left (thumb) or right (pinkie)?

I'll buy the black dial version you highlighted soon. I have a few inexpensive watches (even a Glycine combat chrono) and enjoy the hobby. To include amateur smithing and modding. But what want is the the watch I wear everyday. The anthracite dial turtle sp-something-23. Out of production, almost gone and up to 4-500 USD. And I'm old broke live aboard sailor. Credit to Casio for knowing the market. But they could put this on a solid bracelet and apply some killer lume at around 200 USD and have a winner. It's got the style, brand cache (buyers trust), sapphire, percieved dependability, etc. The Edifice line should be the cut above. Go the extra distance for us enthusiasts. Probably think they already are. But every Edifice model, nope. Set an Edifice standard, sapphire, lumezilla, solid bracelet, jeweled quartz movements on metal plates.... ...some models at 200-250 USD.... and stick it to the competition. The Chinese homages like San Martin or Chronos (and others) have solid offerings. But I haven't bought one yet. Won't be long now. If they don't price themselves out of running, which is happening now. Maybe Casio knows this. I wrote an effen novel, sorry.

Thanks for the shoutout!

Wow !!! Impressed - will get one

Definitely a good look. Have you seen the Casio Enticer line? There's a few that look like the Military issued Pulsar chronometer for a fraction of the price.

I've got this watch since it first released and i love it even though i got quite big wrists... i also got the casiok (the g shock) and i can say that both are worth a purchase cause a G Shock is always a bit bigger so u gotta keep that in mind. The only thing i don't like bout the edefice is the bracelet other than that it's a good sporty everyday watch for most guys and even girls out there
