WHY I OFTEN DON'T MENTION OTHER BRANDS IN MY VIDEOS.
You may have noticed that I often don't mention the original brands that watches I am reviewing pay homage to. This is very intentional and not meant to offend you or the original brands. I lost my first channel in October 2020 which I had spent 9 months growing and invested a significant amount of money in simply because I had mentioned the original brands in some of my videos. There are people who try to use KZreads lack of understanding when it comes to the difference between homage watches and fake watches to attack other channels and their owners and sadly I fell foul of this in 2020. This channel was also attacked recently and KZread deleted content simply because I had said 'subby homage' and 'Rolex homage' in two videos despite the watches in the videos being perfectly legal homage watches. Please understand that I can not afford to risk my channel so I will no longer be mentioning other brands when reviewing homage watches.

    Very nice retro looking watch. It's funny! Seeing the pictures, I also thought it was a small watch. I like the optics of padded straps, but sometimes they feel on wrist like a pair of pliers. But that polished smudge & scratch magnet case back? Who wants that? 🤔

    The aquamarine version is brushed on top versus this red dial. It makes the case more balanced IMO, and gives me the option to put it on a 22mm straight end links brushed finished bracelet.

    Super lovely watch for sure. Great looking dial, and I'm a fan of those complex cushion case designs. It's vaguely reminiscent of the Longines Heritage 1935 or Pilot Majetek cases (or the Hruodland F018), which are some of my favorite contemporary releases lately. The hour hand is kind of "meh" for me on here, and the NH35 movement choice is also sort of "meh", I agree that having the NH38 would have been a nicer choice. The strap is super nice, it looks like it'll age beautifully. Overall, that's a very good looking watch!

    Beautiful dial (gives me Alpinist feel) , lovely strap .. a shame about 1) ghost date movement, 2) thickness and 3) case size that negates some of the elegance of the other features.

    I don't see the appeal due to value. The design is nice, but it's a lowly NH35, it has ghost position, it isn't sure what it is (diver spec water resistance on something that's probably mostly a dress watch). I would consider it for 300, but 400+ can get you (in my opinion) better options from big or micro brands, both in terms of styling and performance.

    The hour and minute hands don’t match, the hour hand should be a cathedral hand, the colour of the strap doesn’t do the watch any justice at all. Why put a brass bit on the end of the crown, it looks like the coating has come off and left the base metal lol Not the best designed watch but the other retro watches they do look great
