WHY I OFTEN DON'T MENTION OTHER BRANDS IN MY VIDEOS.
You may have noticed that I often don't mention the original brands that watches I am reviewing pay homage to. This is very intentional and not meant to offend you or the original brands. I lost my first channel in October 2020 which I had spent 9 months growing and invested a significant amount of money in simply because I had mentioned the original brands in some of my videos. There are people who try to use KZfaqs lack of understanding when it comes to the difference between homage watches and fake watches to attack other channels and their owners and sadly I fell foul of this in 2020. This channel was also attacked recently and KZfaq deleted content simply because I had said 'subby homage' and 'Rolex homage' in two videos despite the watches in the videos being perfectly legal homage watches. Please understand that I can not afford to risk my channel so I will no longer be mentioning other brands when reviewing homage watches.

I am a Vario fan and like this trinket. The price is fair, but far from "incredible" ZEOS was selling them for $529.00 on a bracelet with great lume. All the best to Ivan and Judy on this launch.

@progguy10 10 ай бұрын

Yeah I have the zeros with the mosaic mop. That watch slaps. I like this but let’s stop pretending getting this complication under $1000 is an achievement anymore. Miyota is mass producing these movements and they’re all under $1000. It’s an astonishing movement for the money buttery smooth secondhand good power reserve. Above average accuracy. But like I said, it’s widely available.

@WATCHingJames 10 ай бұрын

It looks brilliant. And Vario is such a nice company. All the contact I’ve had with them has felt so personal and just nice. I am really really tempted by this one.

@greggusan 10 ай бұрын

A very nice offering and love that dial. But really puzzled (as you obviously were) about the lume. Seems to me, if the hands had lume (instead of being skeletonized), and the whole outer ring of the dial with the numerals was lumed, that would be pretty cool - and a fairly unique look. Otherwise get rid of the lume on the GMT hand. As it stands now, that GMT hand looks like a parts bin after-thought.

@AlexanderB. 10 ай бұрын

Ar deco sector dial meets GMT. The watch is beautiful, stylish, distinctive. Love it! 😍 I suppose the price will be higher than most of us will like. By the way I massively prefer the watch on a strap.

I have the "standard" version of this watch (the empire "winter") and it's such a great-looking piece. This seems like an awesome variation of it, but I'm always curious of a GMT without a date.

@dazzlerjohnwatchman8215 10 ай бұрын

That is one amazing looking watch. It will be interesting to see how it sells. Sadly I think it needs a date window. Very good looking though....

A useful function for travelling but it really needs a date for the same reasons

@WatchesOnWood 10 ай бұрын

imagine reigniting the academic kick starter with less colour options but with this movement in. Sure it would be a little thicker, but I think you'd find your niche in the market

Dipped my toes in the GMT market for $150 about 15 years ago - Eco-Drive and it's still running. At that price only Mineral [now chipped] glass and 1 out of 10 lume but 100m water protection. I don't much like a second 24hr hand and would much prefer a second 12 hour hand that could be positioned with the main hour hand until wanting to track a second zone

@shj2000 10 ай бұрын
