On the presentation of the watch, you should have opened the box and shown the little travel sleeve it comes in. I actually think for this price point, the sleeve with the compact box it ships in is very efficient and an elegant solution. The "pleather" cases from the two other brands you highlighted seem to be the more budget packaging IMHO.
Very valid point. I thought about it but I was already done and uploaded the video. I personally prefer the watch box over the travel case because it creates an experience when you first open up the box but I can see how others see the travel case as more functional item.
One of my favorite bracelets. My Tudor is great, too, but it gets scratched so easily. The Traska has a quick-adjustable clasp. It's a perfect fit. Also, the clasp issue for me got better over a six-month period. New, it is, like you said, a bit hard to close, but these watches last forever, and the clasp gets worn in and gets better. I don't see it as a con because it's just the closing of my clasp and the clasp works. I've never had an issue of the clasp coming undone or anything. If anyone is on the fence, I know 2 people besides myself that just reserved a second Ventrer already owning one. The watch is a great fit and great profile. The only watch I never tried on first buying new. Once you own one, you realize that you can go to any other Traska model and not have to worry about the fit. It's gonna fit or be adjustable to fit easily. I wear mine more than any other watch.
Definitely the first watch review I’ve ever seen on YT where Margot Robbie was used as a comparison in a watch review. Also GMT prices are coming down and for brand’s using the Miyota 9075, they’re hovering around the $575 price point.
I bought a gen 2 in November as well. I had the rotating bezel issue was driving me mad so I sent it back and traska fixed it. The clap on mine isn’t so stiff feels quite easy to close. Lume isnt so good on this watch. Does look pretty on the wrist though. I got the blue dial version.
Yes it is a very good looking watch. I recently got bitten by the "vintage" bug and I think that is the main reason I am not reaching for this watch. Good to hear you don't have the clasp issue.
I'm having the issue with the inner bezel rotating. How was the process? I'm thinking about reaching out to them. I also own the 2nd gen (racing green)
@@DBR6464was really easy. I emailed them explaining how bad the bezel was (could rotate by 90degrees within a few hours which renders the gmt pointless). They sent me a return label. The watch took a week to get to the repair centre, a week to “repair”. I was in the USA at new year so they posted it back to my hotel. Worn the watch ever since and it has not moved off even the tiniest amount. Very happy now. Loving the look and feel of the watch. Now if they could only fix the lume…..
I'm glad Traska is fixing the rotating bezel issue with the 3rd gen Venturer by making the crown a screw down. As for the clasp, mine closes easily when I close it by pressing against the inside of my wrist. Maybe you just got bad clasp.
If the inner bezel was fixed I think this watch would be perfect. I don't need or like the second crown, rotating inner bezel, or a third time zone option.
Doesn’t Traska provide a leather carry pouch? Isn’t that way more practical and important than a box that will sit on your shelf or in your closet 99.9% of the time?
Yep. I replied to another person who called out the same thing. Personal preference but I never use the carrying pouch yet I look at the box all the time like a damn idiot. They all sit on top of my working desk and I visually like seeing them all laid out. Just a preference.
I've got two traska's and neither have the clasp issue you have. I think San Martin make that clasp for traska, it's the same as the one on the Erebus and the San Martins on their websites
..... dude, they use roughly the same clasp as seestern, when closing, push the pusher to close, dont push the clasp itself, it's annoying but there's a workaround. most likely the tolerance is not done properly. 10:10 i feel this applies to all micro, its super cool to have a well made watch with attractive pricing, but once honeymoon phase is over, there's just no attraction to micro
Dont know man. I love Lorier. I still regret selling the gold version of the falcon which they don't produce anymore. Lorier has a charm for lover of vintage watches.
That clasp IS a San Martin clasp! Right down to the screw positions and pressure required to close it, it’s identical to SM’s new on the fly clasp. I’m comparing it with the SM GMT on my wrist and it’s identical apart from the logo!
@@michaelnathan3476 fuck knows, mate. Ain’t got too many GMT options for a slender wrist. Looking in the direction of CW C63 now - it’s a really sweet little thing, kinda pricey tho. Hopefully, the Japanese will stop embarrassing themselves and finally roll out something good.
Strongly disagree, aside from the hard coating on the steel which makes it highly scratch resistant and the fact that they guarantee the watch to be regulated at no more than +-10 seconds, there is also the “feel” of the fit and finish, it is hard to describe the perception of quality but you can with this brand. The reality is you won’t really know until you have one in your hands, at least that was the process for me to change my mind about the price.
@@simona5323 Also, it looks good on your wrist (arm view) and then you see a reflection of yourself (whole upper body) wearing the watch and it looks small, 36mm..
