SOOO many cool things going on with this dial! Love the tuning fork indices, the “house” hour hand and correlating sub-indice markers, the sandwich sections, bi-colored luminescence, and a nice chunky case shape! Pretty damn slick.
This is the first phoibos I actually would buy. Nice review. Love the channel man. You do a good variety of watches which I appreciate. Most reviewers stick to a niche and it gets pretty repetitive. Not you
Love both this and the new levianthan. IMHO Titanium looks amazing and more deluxe than SS. But I'm a material tech geek just love the slightly more subtle look and the light weight. Great to see Phoibos add a coating durability esp at this price!
A great review FT, I've yet to see a Phoibos watch in the flesh but I'll keep a look out for this model as I'm a fan of titanium watches if they are done well. I like the logo, if only I had eight arms I could wear more watches but I would run out of eyes to see them all. Knowing my current luck they would all tell different times though 😂
Thanks for the review and great camera work. The overall finish is nice. My two main issues on the powder blue. The date is useless. I really do appreciate when brands go the extra mile with a matching date disc, but in this instance the white on blue is a bad combo. I think the NH38 no date would have worked better. The second thing is the sweep hand lume. They should have put a small rocket shaped tip or pointer on the end to hold more lume. I love the all brushed finish and the smooth operation of the crown. This makes my third Phoibos .. I have the Great Wall and a Proteus and they both have excellent lume.
Not too bad of a looking watch. BTW, are you going to be able to get your hands on one of the Seiko Ginza Cobblestone limited edition watches to review?
Very cool model. I’d go with the white. To your point about the weight, I prefer SS so it has some weight to it. I say that, but to be honest, I’ve never had any experience with titanium watches. It just seems like it would feel cheap. Thanks for reviewing!
Great review. Love the honesty in your reviews as well as the production. Those macro shots could make horse shit 🐎 💩 look good! Keep up the the great work my brother. You have a new subscriber.
Next Phoibos on the channel is the new generation of eagle ray in about a month and a half. Nebula we probably won't review until it's revised after the Eagle.
