I just got this watch with the blue dial and both the bracelet and leather strap. It is absolutely amazing!! Worth every penny. Even at retail price it is still worth it in my opinion.
Great watch! Tried on at an AD and really appreciated how it wore on wrist. I asked for the smaller version, but in the end I preferred the 42 mm on my 7.1 inches wrist.
To me this is the perfect child of dress and sports watch with diving capabilities. My buddy who knows nothing of watches guessed it was a $50k watch. It really is just a monster of value. What a gorgeous time piece.
One of the best watches in this category out there! I owned the blue 42mm version and it was just a stunning piece! Really appreciate what ML did there. Awesome bang per buck here! Thanks for your great review and good look with your spin-off channel! All the best from Germany
@@cameronwebb9328 What's your twitter alias? I could DM a picture showing if you'd like. But overall good, the thickness doesn't interfere with the shirt arm - as long it's not a super slimed one.
I both agree and disagree, because it is much cheaper than the AP, yet it is far from cheap. Speaking from a perspective of having owned one for 2 years, you get amazing quality and finish while not having to be ashamed of wearing a flagrant copy.
I think the main influence for the design was given from the Maurice Lacroix Calypso. But i don´t mind where the idea for the design is actually from, this watch is a damn beauty...
I don't understand the reaching of the Aikon to the Royal Oak at all; nor the absurd, asinine reason that people will mostly buy this watch to scratch that Royal Oak/Nautilus/Overseas itch at a "cheap" price. Its bezel looks unique and original, yet for some reason, it's likened to being an homage to the aforementioned watches? Assuming one of the possible reasons behind it is some gatekeeping, elitist, condescending BS, then let's cubbyhole that snobbery; in addition to the doublespeak allusion of 1) it being a "poor man's" option of the Genta designs and 2) assuming one of the reasons as to why people would buy it is to get that Royal Oak/Nautilus look. Maybe people want it because it looks awesome of its own merits, regardless of the price. At best, you can say that it draws some inspiration from the DNA of Genta's design. Otherwise, if you're going to categorize every derived steel dress-sports watch with some bezel design with a flair , similarly looking bezel, and integrated bracelet more into the homage territory, you may as well as well dub most oyster cases today following the inception of Rolex's oyster case in the same light. The idiosyncratic design of the bezel and bracelet looks quite original, robust, and full of character. In fact, I find it more much attractive than the Nautilus and Royal Oak.
good looking for sure, and honestly better looking than the new Manhattans from Omega. I think I might go for the new Tudor Royal if I was leaning for something along this style. Great video per usual.
The Tudor Royal looks awesome but the execution of the date window is so poorly done imho. Wish they would’ve just gone with a non date version bc I would’ve gladly picked one up.
I’ve been considering this watch for a while. I am a very proud owner of the Tissot prx auto and tissot seastar 1000 auto I do love them both, but I’m looking to take the next step up. I’ve been looking at the Baumé and m along with the Maurice l . And a few longines. I’m not sure which direction I’m leaning towards.
I am looking at pulling the trigger on this one with the blue face in 42mm . I think this looks just as good as the AP royal oak. It's so sleek. I wanted to ask. What is the settings to set the automatic watch winder for this watch?
Man this is beautiful. Between this and new Tudor Royal, I am not sure which AP affordable alternative I am more interested in picking up someday(Cause there is NO way I will ever afford an AP). Great Video Teddy!
only 38 hour power reserve for this price is bad. You can not even leave for the weekend...... Biog no just for this and huge plus for cheaper tissot PRX 80 hour reserve
Okay, i own the piece. But face an issue. Whenever the watch is off my wrist, the time starts lagging. 2 days off, its behind by like 90 minutes. While it's a beautiful piece, It's a watch that can't keep time. Any suggestions?
I own this piece with the blue dial, love it. One question, can you only use ML straps for this when changing the bracelet? I want to put a black rubber/silicone strap on it but just wanted to be sure before buying it
I'm thinking about buying a blue dial, preowned at 600$, but a quartz. Still struggling to decide, since I'm all for white dial, although it's in pristine con.
I have a small wrist, so I bought 39mm Aikon in blue. But I think a white model is more beautiful than blue one. I'm curious why they don't make 39mm white Aikon.
Every watch brand has multiple dive watches. Nobody complains. And they should not. Its nice to be able to buy that type of watch from diffrent brands and diffrent prices suited to your personal needs amd style. But these type of watches with only can think of 3. Prx aikon and royal oak. So wierd all other types almost every single brand makes and these only a few why.
A member of our team has a 7.65-inch wrist and comfortably wears the 42 mm. However, according to him it still presents on the larger side, and he would recommend the 39 for a wrist smaller than 7.5 unless you are used to a large wrist presence.
My question is weather this would be a sensible investment. If you buy a Rolex it’s a safe bet that your money will either grow or at least maintain, but does the value fluctuate with these, maintain neutral, or nose dive?
I don't like the watch but i appreciate that you do reviews of brands that are rarely mentioned elsewhere. By the way.. a ML was my first automatic watch almost thirty years ago.
