Gorgeous watch ,cushion case and sandwich dial right up my street ,Great movement too of course and even the leather strap is perfect.I'm drinking a cold San Miguel btw ,
Great looking dive watch. Love the orange/yellow markers and hands and nice shape. Lovely watch. At the moment I'm more into dress/classic watches but if I was on the lookout for dive watches would definitely catch my eye
Hey Gavo, happy Friday mate. I know, I totally love it too! It's so different to anything else I have reviewed so far. Really dig the vintage styling of it! $599 is totally a chunk of change for sure. Have a great weekend my friend. Best, MJ
Now THAT'S a DIVE WATCH - Superb review and what a stunner to look at! I love it! I am sitting here, enjoying, from Balderdash Brewing Foxy, Shifty, Wily, Crafty, "Sneaky Weasel" Craft Lager (5.6% abv), and wishing I was at the beach, or lounging on a yacht off Wreck Beach, wearing that beautiful Esoteric Dive watch! The crown is perfect with that chunky bezel. the Lume? WOW ! If only I had a larger wrist - I have only 6 3/4" skinny wrist and anything this massive looking is just way to big - I have to stick to sub 40mm, or I would buy one today. I still might, I'm a softy for great dive watches at a great value... Is it sold in your store in US funds, or Cdn$$$ ?
Hey Ric, nice to hear from you. The Sneaky Weasel is a cracking beer 🍺 It’s sold on my store in US$ and ships from the US directly from Esoteric. Out of all the dive watches I’ve reviewed I do think this is one that would wear nice on a smaller wrist as it’s got a shorter lug to lug with a slightly curve to wrist. It’s a cracking watch! Cannot believe I talked them into letting me sell these 20 at $300 off. Guess my RU-vid channel has some weight after all😉 Enjoy the weekend my friend. Best, MJ
Hi Matt, well I never thought I would see a Vostok on steroids,but you proved me wrong 😑. Well done you 😂🔥. Keep up the good work and enjoy your weekend,see you next Friday.
You are not the first that said it looks like a Vostok, it’s totally that Bezel. I didn’t see it before but I see it now👍 Have a great weekend my friend. Best, MJ
Great review! I love the sandwich dial! So great. That case shape is one that has been intriguing me lately. Might try for a Smiths cushion case when those are available again. Good stuff as usual!
What a watch very very interesting watch, i liked a lot that vintage look, a beautyful beautyful timepiece, id like as mentalist to hav a watch from a brand called esoteric 🤣
@@BeerandWatches as a watchmaker that baffles me … but to each their own! ;) for me I don’t like movements that can’t keep regulations and over time becomes so loose that it’s basically a disposable movement - I like that my movements live on so it’s the same watch that was bought 10-20-50-100 years ago and not just an old shell with a new movement. :) And not to talk about the noisy rotor or breakable screws they use. (Way to many areas that can fail)
