• Closing thoughts:
o On wrist - Perfect proportions, very comfortable and balanced wear
o Model Variants - 12ea different dial options that can be configured with either bracelet option for a total of 24ea different combinations, check site links for details
o Comparable models - Undercuts even comparable microbrands, while being additional levels cheaper than the mainstream big-brand competitors
o Bottom-line - While their first model the Origin Diver felt a bit more specific and niche, the Ascent feels super versatile by comparison with a wide array of options that deliver different looks and feels beyond just color pallet

appreciate the low light section. Helps give a better idea of what the dials will look like in real life.

Jody is heading in a good direction i think. Started with a 'safe design' dive watch to get talked about, and now launched a type that pleases everyone with solid specifications. The dial options are the cherry on the top.

Great review and lighting for the Aventurine.

@harrycee656 Ай бұрын

A point of clarification. It's not the engineers that drive features and ID design. Engineers design the watch to meet the specs and look and feel the product owners want. Typically they have limited say except for saying no not possible for the price or the technology we have today. Otherwise, anything is possible with enough money and time.

You've gotta be a real R or dyed in the wool watch idiot savant, brand loyal, swiss watch mafia soldier to buy a Mido or a Rado. Especially over _this_ watch. JFC. Those brands are a money laundering operation first and a watchmaker second. Never once has seen one outside of a dusty old jewelry case.

It’s a burnt orange, so halfway between the two. Will look more orange outside and more brown indoors I expect

@@thadeusbaggins9967 got the screenshots, not for public view. Yet he came on me with a full aggressive and abusive onslaught, after I humoristically suggested, that following his ultra condescending take down of Sarb017 owners who should get rid of the watch because they are not mountaineers- That all dive watch owners throw away their pieces, if they aren’t professional divers. Or that all pilots watch owners get rid of them- if they’re not professional pilots…… In short, I suggested that his logic isn’t that applicable, in most cases. How dared I 🙀…

If these were brand names they would cost 3x more. The “in house movement” would have probably been the same movement with a custom rotor and better finishing/tolerances. Amazing value and quality with these.

Now I'm not getting the aventurine. The indices don't stand out and makes the dial messy looking. Hard to say NO to sparkles. I ordered the unpopular fume green.

@_AlphaLimaGolf Ай бұрын

The 4 week launch discount ends Monday, so don’t wait too long if you do plan on buying. I went with the fume orange and this video helped confirm my choice. The aventurine looks great too but it’s just a bit much for my taste and as a day to day wear.

@craiggreeson2614 Ай бұрын

You know something has some serious bling when fume orange is the less flashy choice. 😉 Still tempted by the orange but I have a Seiko Sharp Edge in blood moon red and it feels like they'd step on each other a bit.

These are great but not perfect. The lume on the second hand counterbalance looks silly and the lack of a display caseback is a very odd decision given the type of watch.

@encol7953 Ай бұрын

I think the O bracelet will help tone down the dressy aspect of the watch, not to mention throwing it on a strap, e.g. vintage leather, suede….def potential strap monster, depending on dial choice

@ollyw2897 Ай бұрын

@@encol7953 yeah you’re right. I’d defo go for the O style. As much as the Aventurine dial (or whatever it’s called) is popular. It’s extra bling and I think a novelty rather than a serious choice. For me it would be white dial or green Fume on an O style. Only one day left to decide! Or I could just buy tiles for my bathroom which is what I really should be doing. 😅

@encol7953 Ай бұрын

@@ollyw2897 Well, your shortlist choices are a real coincidence…I couldn’t make a decision between the white dial and green fume myself, so ended up buying both…which was actually my wife’s suggestion (God bless her!). I selected those because I felt they were classic in look which would give me greater wear out of them. Talk about parallel universes…I also have an ensuite shower that needs tiling repairs…maybe next month ;)

Jody's watches don't inspire me. Just put out a bland, generic design and then spam colorways in the hope of gap-filling some budget watch enthusiasts low rent collection. I wonder what his next generic offering will be? Probably a military/field, ripping off some Hamilton, Vertex, or Laco.

Basically rip off of Second Hand microbrand. From the box, to the watch. More than 2x cheaper, but not 2x worse. Both produced in china. Probably not bad budget choice, but If you have the money Second Hand is better one.
