I collect mainly affordable Japanese brand watches such as Seiko, Orient, Citizen, and Casio. I have modded some of my watches and am a newbie at video editing. I upload videos as a hobby and will try to improve on the quality of content I upload.
Citizen also designed and made their own watchmaking equipment. It was so good that Citizen Swiss Type lathes have been an industry leader in their market. If you walk into any other watchmaker, there is a serious chance that they're being manufactured on Citizen/Miyano machines.
Need to include the GA2100WS - the white band and blue face, this watch looks awesome and is nicer looking than the black. I have the black 2100 but wear the WS much more. It isn’t solar but the strap is u pique and looks great in the summer!
Forget everything else about watches: brands, heritage, prices, etc. Just taken on its own, the A168 is a very attractive watch...not just the retro appeal, but it's just plain aesthetically pleasing. It wouldn't be any more or less good-looking if it had a Tudor badge on it or a Timex one. It's simply a damn good watch. I have several significantly pricier ones in my collection, and the A168 still manages to get a ton of wrist time. A newer watch that has this exact same appeal is the Armitron Griffy, for the same reasons.
Great video fella. I’m just starting and want to swap out my crystal in my new SKX007 for a flat/clear/Sapphire. I’ll go ahead with it myself after watching this. Many thanks.
I have a Citizen solar promaster diver. I'm very disappointed with pins that move in the sharp edged bracelet, a clunky 60 click bezel with a sharp bezel insert.
FYI… Timegrapher works perfectly on a Seiko VH31b quartz mechatronic movement. It’s the first quartz movement I’ve owned that worked on a Timegrapher…. Useless but neat nonetheless.
Just coming across this video now: I've been seriously contemplating the K17 for a while, but goodness, the K41 is seriously nice. Will likely stick to popping for the K17, though.
Im curious as to whether or not the iridescence is a coating on the strap or if it's part of the resin cast. Basically does it seem like the coating is durable enough to take the punishment of a g-shock or could you scratch it off by accidentally rubbing it against something?
@@watchify1775 that's good to know. Another question; is the resin encasing the watch face hard or more rubbery? Don't worry about the other guy commenting btw, he never read the title.
@@watchify1775 thanks for the info. Would you say that it's more immediately eye-catching? Or is it less flashy at first glance and the colour change is more something that's obvious only when you're paying more attention to it?
Just purchased this watch yesterday, paid $240 on Amazon. Nice side by side comparison with the Duro which I have and it's a nice watch but not as nice as the Citizen but again for $60 it's offers a lot for the money. The Citizen is a simple but masculine watch. I'm looking forward to it's arrival.
Hello! I’m new to dive watches and had a question- Read your description regarding the 120 ticks for the bezel. Does it make any audible sounds IE actually make a clicking sound? Unsure if your video had audio covered over it or was done live. Thanks in advanced!
Yes they do make a sound. There is something called a click spring under the rotating bezel. It has two raised parts that causes the bezel to only rotate in one direction. There are grooves on the underside of bezel . Those two raised parts are what is making the noise when you rotate bezel.
This will be my first g shock. I’m planning on buying a screen protector for it. But is that necessary? Do the glass scratch easily? What about the body, they scratch up? Thank you
So he found a one year old company in Pakistan to rip off their logo when he started the channel? A year before you even started your own channel? I find that hard to entertain, much easier is that both of you found it using Google..
@@watchify1775 remove logo .. because it our company logo since 4 years. Your channel age will be just 1year old. Or we report back youtube "voilation of copyrights"
Wow. First time I'm seeing someone show it so up close in such detail and talking slowly, not bombarding with info and criticizing the watch. Ordered mine today for around $44 dollars. Amazing review, love it! Subscribed too🎉
To this day, I have never seen a scratch on any of my watches with hardlex crystal. Maybe I've been lucky. I have seen them on my Orient mineral crystals though. This watch is still in my collection.
Hey I still own this watch! In a more general sense, when I buy a watch and am initially happy with it but later, I no longer feel the same excitement for wearing it, it becomes a candidate for sale. Sometimes I regret it.
Hello, I appreciate your video it really helped me make my decision about purchasing the watch. I want to ask you about your particular model. Do you notice any inconsistency in the lume on the hour and minute hand? I feel like the lume is thinner around the middle of the hands. I wonder if I am seeing things or if this is a common characteristic of this model. Thanks for the great video.
I have never replaced a movement before, but I need to do it for my watch that was a ST1901 chronograph movement. Do you think that's a bit too much for a beginner? 🤔 I also have a watch with a misbehaving NH35, so maybe it would be better to start with that... (Also, just an FYI: The singular form of the word "indices" is actually "index", not "indice" 🙂)
@@watchify1775 lol noo "indices" is totally correct; it's the plural of "index". It's "indice" (without the "s") that is wrong. Anyway, thanks for the advice and the video 🙂 I'm gonna order an NH35A movement
It’s a piece of trash. Nothing is aligned. Even the dot of fluorescence material on the bezel is not centered. The hands and the digital screen are randomly related no matter how many times they are synchronized.
