The Best Everyday Watch Just Got Even Better! (Serica WWW Version 2!) 

Well the Khaki Field mechanicals that this is comparable to don't... Only "Hamilton." And they are $300 cheaper on joma.

Anything made by San Martin or Cronos

boldr expedition and boldr venture

low quality, boldr solos both

Yeah. Hard to compete with Hamilton when priced higher. I do like the Serica's interesting bracelet, though.

I have the black dial Khaki auto, and I’d like to have the white dial manual wind Khaki. If the Khaki had a screw-down crown they would actually be great as a field watch, i have wore mine camping and it was all fine but in most cases divers are probably actually better suited for pretty much any outdoor activity.

My Khaki Auto is not a watch anymore, it's a living extension of my body. It is hard to explain to someone who has not worn one for an extended period of time. (I use a nylon canvas OD green strap by Dassari). 7.25 in. wrist... was not too small (as I feared it would be).

Agreed with you. If for that price, I am inclined towards Hamilton.

Bradley Greenwood my wrist is the same size as yours did you get the 38mm? I got the 42mm, it’s a good size but the long lugs makes it as big as I would want. I have a diver that is 41.5mm just 1/2 mm smaller but wears much smaller because it has pretty short lugs.

We've got 365 everyday days according to sales..I mean youtubers.

I don't know...I'm a big fan of choice. Everyday for me might not be everyday for somebody else... Are you upset over too many similar choices? Or the shortage of "non-everyday" timepieces?? Not sure what you are trying to say.

@@danwaz5218 I didnt say that this watch is bad in any way, it is quite good looking and specs are suitable for majority of watch crowd. I just believe that term "best everyday watch" is to easily given to new watches that few heard of just because those watches need attention

@@H0kram 366 this year. God is in the details. (coming from an atheist.)

Over-saturated market. It's why I've started to branch off into the 'unique vintage watches' market

Biggest downside: only 50 meters of water resistance 🙃

@@DutchBulldog and the ultra reflective crystal

The finishing is not comparable, and the 50m WR is a big drawback for some. Plus, this comes on a bracelet. They're very different watches. I could see owning both without feeling like either is redundant

My Khaki is 100 meters but it isn’t a screw-down crown so the water resistance probably isn’t as reliable.

Mike Smith I would save $40 extra and get the Yema Flygraf Pilot instead: in-house movement, better case and dial finishing, 300 meters water resistance.

I ordered one last week.

How do you like your watch?

Supposed to arrive in late November or early December.

@@jipke Jory covered everything in the review. I love the watch, the only negative is it looks so good and so well finished I'm super careful I don't knock it, whereas a field watch really should be a go anywhere watch. A more casual strap might change the feel of it though. Overall very pleased

That Yema is one hell of an awesome watch. The finishing is top notch, I have been debating getting one...

In-house movement is not a pro for everyone as you have to send watch to Yema for service every time

venrocking fair point

venrocking and how often is that? Not often. Take the chance and explore dif brands it’s a watch not a car

@@venrocking Thats the one thing that has stopped me, that and the 24hr markings, looks a little busy. But that's a good point, how much can you trust a new movement and if there is an issue you would have to send it to France. Its not an overly expensive watch though.

The root of the confusion comes from early Macs using "font" to refer to typeface options, establishing the convention for computing as a whole, which is the only experience most people have with working with type.

And must be antimagnetic.

Yes you can. Only one lug size. www.serica-watches.com/en/product/bonklip-bracelet/ or www.josephbonnie.com/en/product/bonklip-steel-watch-bracelet/

@@William_Saint-Agne Thank you!

@@Wynner3 If you are interested, you might also want to check the history of the Bonklip bracelet. As far as I can recall, the original bracelet started since 1930's and was made in Birmingham, UK. It was adopted by the Royal Air Force thanks to its strength, relative low cost and "one size fits all" characteristic, before it was replaced by the NATO bracelet (much cheaper to produce) in the 1970's. I could be wrong, so I'll advise you to look more into it if you are interested.

Genuine military watches like the legendary Mark 11 pilot watch also have only the four main indices lumed.

@@Bonpu well that’s a shame

Don’t think he did. Would have expected it to have shown up in his SOTC Field Watch video of he had.

I have the Hamilton. Realistically neither of these watches are going to be tougher than the other, other than the water resistance difference. They’re mechanical watches with no antimagnetic cage unfortunately - I only discovered how useful that is since getting the Smiths PRS29 which has an iron cage. The Hamilton’s blasted finish will handle scratches better and has some historical lineage. This Serica has a far better looking hand set and does a slightly better job minimising a crowded dial design, as well as having AR coating. The Hamilton has C1 Luminova which isn’t very good but has lume plots at each numeral. I wonder if the screw down crown on the Serica gives it it’s better WR, I doubt that at this price point it is a double gasket design or whatever the good ones use, it probably achieves it in other ways. Of the two I’d personally choose the Serica, I only first saw it on this video but I think it looks better. But a Smiths PRS29 beats both of these hands down.

I have the Khaki field automatic which is a bit dressier than the hand-wind mechanical (sapphire domed crystal and a bit of polish on the case). It also has 100 m water resistance rather than the mechanical's 50 m. It does give up the drilled lugs, though.

@@catlike1 Thanks for the reply. I gotta think about whether that 50 m water resistance is a deal breaker for me.

@UnbelievableProductions I might end up doing that in the long run!

@@dustycups I just looked up the PRS29 and you're right, it looks amazingly functional, doesn't cost a ton like the Serica, and beats the Hammy out in features. What do you mean by the antimagnetic cage though? Can you elaborate?

where did you purchase the Gylcine? Further, has Glycine lost its creditability after being purchased by Invicta!

@@garylopez6528 Jomashop has them Edit: and no, Invicta hasn't done anything to Glycine as far as I can tell not that they deserve a bad reputation, how many homages are out there now? That taboo has long been broken even still don't let other people's opinions stop you from getting what you want.

@@Nefville i've never shopped through Joma! Is it a respectable ecommerce store?

@@garylopez6528 I was lucky to find mine on eBay. Joma used to have them but looks like they are sold out almost everywhere. I have bought other watches from Joma and have only had good experiences.

@@Nefville I agree. I cannot tell the difference between their watches before and after they were bought by Invicta. Also, even Invicta has started to make worthy watches - look at the 31290 for around 100 dollars. That is a great looking swiss watch for a great price.

I've heard a few sketchy tales about yema, especially the in house movement

Not as clumsy or random as a Hamilton; an elegant watch for a more civilized age

@@ivermec-tin666 Apparently not.

Great point that I completely missed. Deal breaker for me.

But if you wear it you don't have to manual wind it.It is automatic.

@@marduj2768 It's a manual wind watch. Check their web site

@@heiner71 my mistake but they wrote it has movement stp1-11.It must be than stp1-11m handwinding version.

Put it on a bund strap. It'll look the tits and wear larger

It's a bonklip bracelet, are you not familiar with the legendary bonklip?

Pay for a bit more wr

This is SO much better looking than the Hamilton

Serica watches dude,they have a site

Reminds me of Spidel, I have the older version and like the newer one (not at the point of buying it again because it has a mineral crystal). I don't care for the bracelet, I do like how it sizes. One thing putting and mesh/or like this on a Tissot Visodate where it makes sense, but not on a field watch. Again, I do like how you don't have to size it.

@@VersedNJ historically I've only seen these bracelets on field watches however.

Are you right-ankled or left-ankled?

If people can "decide" their gender... you sure as hell can wear YOUR watch any way you want ;)

does it alarm when you go near a kindergarten or pool ?

Some fliegers were designed to be worn on the pilots leg so whatever floats your boat or spins you props which is probably more apt.

My girlfriend took my g shock and wears it around her ankle. Looks cool

You do realise this is RU-vid and not your wife you're talking to

I've considered and decided to pass on the Serica watch multiple times in the past year or two, but remain fascinated by the bracelet. Is it usable on a watch without drilled lugs?

@@tjfish9683 Yes, the Bonklip style bracelets can be used on almost any watch with spring bars, and even be snapped over a few watches with fixed lugs.

@@marksulloway5669 Thanks for the input. I did finally decide to get a Fostner BonKlip strap several months ago and it works well with a couple of watches. I specifically got it for a Christopher Ward Sandhurst that I purchased as kinda of an alternative to the Serica. I think both are good watches.

@@tjfish9683 I have 2 of the Forstner Klips myself.

The domed crystal doesn't make sense to me. A flat one being just shallow of the bezel would be more practical. But not a biggy I guess

Everyone complains about the price because they compare it to Hamilton Khaki Field. But this is not those mass produced pieces that have simple finishing. This watch has very delicate design and fine finishing which for sure cost more, the black lacquered dial also cost more to produce. I bought this as my first mechanical watch and it is much more when you see it in person!

Not antimagnetic though, definitely needed for a mechanical tool watch.

If you received the watch via paying for a subscription... you paid for the watch. 🙏👍
