Thanks for the solid review. There's a lot to like here. Nice dimensions, clean dial layout, cool handset. My three favorites are the black-dial, the white-dial, and the blue-dial in that order.
I've been considering buying this and as a woman, not a lot of channels comment on whether the watch is suitable for us or not. Really enjoying your channel as it's honest and gives a real buyer's perspective on the watches instead of just giving compliments as a "review"!
I have been looking at Sekio as I already have a Bambino and a Kamasu, but most that I like don't have sapphire glass and this is a must for me, I'm really enjoying your channel thank you.
If they made a Kamasu II on that case and with this movement i bet it would he a great success... The dimensions here are simply great. I hope they expand this platform into more dial and bezel designs. About the difficult bezel, i popped it out on my Kamasu and applied pure silicone oil on the inner gasket. Works fine now.
It’s very strange that everyone who made this watch missed this mistake. I'm not sure it's wabi-sabi thing but I would like to have the defective dial ones.
Orient knows how to make an attractive dial color. I still like my dark green/teal Kamasu, it's great for the price, even though I'd love to see an anti-reflective coating on the sapphire to make that deep colored dial more visible during the day. The other little minus of the Kamasu is it's small crown and it's spring, you need some time to get used to operate it. Otherwise the watch is perfect.
A few words about this release: I like the size and the symmetry better, but I agree about the proportions of the bracelet, which might look a bit wide for this case. They could've made it taper a little towards the clasp, even if that would raise the price a little bit. I think Strapcode has some nice ±100$ bracelets for the Kamasu, maybe they'll make some new ones for this model if it'll sell well. Or you can just wear it on a leather strap, as I do with my green Kamasu. No rattling and it looks good. If you're not really going to swim with it and you just like the diver style, I guess the missing lume pip and crown guards won't bother you a lot.
Nice video. Worth mentioning your wrist size in inches and cm when wearing the watch for the viewers in the future. I would go for the white dial probably although that violet compliments the yellow second hand tip.
Very good video Loupe, I think these are good options for someone who wants a semi sporty watch which could cross over for an office/work watch. I also love the salmon and grey dials….. but all are good options
Interesting, at 3:52 seconds on the 40 number on the bezel you can see the paint inside the numbers flaking off. The paint either fell out or was not applied fully. Also with the dial misprint QC is definitely lacking. With that said, I like the look of these a lot. If these were available 14 years ago when I was first looking for something exactly like this I might not have needed to look further and could have saved myself 14 yrs and thousands of dollars, lol. Excellent and enjoyable to watch review. Keep up the good work and I'm looking forward to your future content.
they fixed the dial misprint now. The paint is not wearing off on the bezel, what you are seeing is a direct reflection of lights in his recording room, which does happen to make it look silver. If you look at the same 40 number when he is moving the watch around at different angles you can see it is fully painted in.
Better date window than a Patek Philippe Nautilus. I'm tempted by the white dial one, but I already have a Nodus Sector Dive with a silvery-white dial so I'm not sure. The purple one is also cool.
Great video like always thank you so much. I checked your channels but couldn’t find it so I want to ask about Movado watches, I like their designs but not sure about quality. After watching your videos I started thinking about orient more than Movado. How would you compare them? Thank you so much.
I think this mistake will be a good story to remember for the actual owners. If this mistake were to happen to a Rolex, it would increase the value to the heavens.
