The white dial is the one to get IMO.

I love this channel! As a college kid I like watching the higher end watch channels until I hear the four digit price - these watches are perfect for me where I'm at financially at the moment.

lovely dial not bowled over with the hexagonal case . and richard the lion heart would have been proud of that bracelet.

Clicked so fast, my watch fell off my wrist so I am looking for a new one!

Loving that yellow dial beauty, love the mesh too but agree with Jody about the retainer, maybe a magnetised version to stop the floppy end

I love that color way! I just love orange and blue watches. Very nice retro design. Not a big fan of that mesh bracelet though. Spot on review as always!

A simple solution would be to have the metal bit in the end magnetised. And I’m digging the white dial variant.

The Breitling mesh has a similar sizing but it actually has mesh links that can be removed to adjust the size. Completely different cost obviously but that is the best mesh bracelet in the business. One way around the sliding keeper would be to epoxy the keeper in place on the lower band so it can't move. If they actually do solve the problem, I would definitely pick up one of these as I really like the look and comfort of a mesh.

Jory-nice job pointing out the bracelet flaw and solution. Thanks.

I love the wagging of the metal tail 😂

Do you have any plans of reviewing an Orient Kamasu? I would love to hear your thoughts in particular.

the case reminds me a bit of my octagonal citizen bullhead chrono, it is a shame they didn't just add a rubber lining to the retainer though as that may have improved the performance considerably

I don’t quite get why they didn’t make the floppy end of the mesh bracelet magnetic, like Apple does on their milanaise loop bracelet.

I purchased one of the Dumas back earlier in the year when they also included the bracelet and felt the high polished surfaces make it seem like it has a cheap chrome plating. For that reason I gifted it to some else, but if a PVD or bronze a la Tesserai was available I'd take the plunge again as I think the retro design is brilliant.

As a big guy its perfect for me , got the watch of ebay from someome who got it early, didn't like it, and wanted to sell it. Paid $250, its a steal at that price.

I think you nailed it. Really awesome mesh, needs a better designed clasp and keeper.

$200-$500 for a micro brand watch, NOW we talking !!! Obviously good quality, excellent looks, proper dimensions, REASONABLE price, thank you for the good advice, looks like I found my Christmas present. Jody, please don’t ruin your channel with the stuck-up micro brands who trying to sell their cereal box watch for a $1000 and up. I am VERY unhappy with a “stretton” and “man” (I misspell it on purpose). Cheers mate !

Good lord. Short sleeves only with that rig.

43mm? Too big for me. But I'll take it for free.

Did the engineers not think about the floppy mesh band when designing? Really? 😂😂😂

That’s certainly the Dirk Diggler of the watch world. Like that look but can’t help thinking they missed a great design opportunity with that miss match case nd bezel would have been awesome with a bezel with 50pence style edges. Thanks for review.

This is a watch that offers you not just a mesh bracelet, but actual chainmail on your wrist !

I have a first generation Dumas (when it came with a Miyota 82-whatever) and it actually came with that same bracelet, as well as a leather strap and the better packaging you mentioned. I only wore it on the bracelet a few times for exact reason you state in this video.

i like the 13 to 24 on the dial

I've started to realize hands are my number one pet peeve when it comes to watches - The perfect hands having those "thin pointy bits" at the end, making sure you can tell exactly how many minutes past the hour it is. It's also important that the hands look as they belong to the watch - the blue Spinnaker looks as if the hands were picked randomly - the hour and second hands look like they belong to a different watch. 03:01: "No sizing possible with this one". 07:37: "This one is infinitely adjustable". Good thing it improved in less than 5 minutes. I agree they have gone overboard on that bracelet - it's like wearing a ball bearing on your arm - a miracle they stopped at 4 mm thickness and didn't go for 5, 6 or a couple of inches.

Just noticed the kerning used on the 'MULTIFUNCTION TIMEGRAPHER' text and now it can never be unseen.

The crab claw analogy is spot on, I'll never unsee it!

I actually like the 24 hour time indicators on the dial like that. Extra utility on your tool watch. That bracelet is absolutely wicked.

Jody, I just got a Reef Tiger Deep Ocean, which is a total Blancpain Fifty Fathoms homage. I'm very impressed with this watch. You should get one and do a review of it. I think you'll like it.

I always love a blue and orange color combination.

just put a little hot glue on the inside part of the retainer for it to have grip maybe? haha. love the yellow dial.

Sunday Morning watching watch reveiws 🙂

Praise from San Martin, beautiful!

Yep. That mesh is totally unusable. And the watch itself needs to go on a diet. Im out.

Jodi, some days ago, dave (just the watch) had same opinion about this bracelet... nice see experts agree.

Spinnaker somehow always leaves me cold, as does their sister AVI-8. They both tend to have an over designed thing going on, like it was done by a team of people rather than one guy.

I am 50/50 on this watch, I can’t put my finger on it, but something is not right for me, maybe The bracelet, or maybe the weight, as much as I like a heavy watch this might be just over the top. Great video by the way.

Oh the Yellow one nice...

I have this watch and feel exactly the same as you about the mesh bracelet. The watch itself though is fantastic, so I've got it on a leather strap at the moment.

Love the look! Thanks for the discount code.

what do you think if you have to choose spinaker dumas or hull series can you give a recommendation thanks b 4

The case and dial design is fabulous. Ditch the floppy mesh and its a winner. Nice review Jody.

Is there a reason that the lume on bezels tends to fade first? Wouldn’t make sense to put as much as possible on the bezel given it’s intended purpose of readability in low visibility water?

I h8 when the retainer thingys arent snug.

Nice look on the dial, just not a fan of the 70’s style watch case. The white, blue and black look good, but the yellow not so much.

Fails the comparison to Helm Watches. I'm still waiting to be able to buy one. Seems every time they are sold out in minutes.

Nice review. I Ickes up a black one when they first came out. It came on a very nice Silicon Strap. The watch is great but I don’t like that bracelet. Looks like chain mail. They should of vent for some type of link bracelet.

That's a nice watch, shame about the issue with the bracelet. The best mesh I have come across so far was a German staib band on a Poljot basilika. Butterfly clasp only but it was well engineered and fantastic quality.

I just received today a cheap shark mesh for my bradner (not a fan of a leather strap for divers) and it does look very cool. That expensive bracelet doesn t look comfy.

Another great review and nice to see integrated dive weights in the watch and band. You would need two though, one on each wrist otherwise you’ll be swimming on your side 😬

Audience: Is that a extra chunky mesh bracelet? Jody: 2 times 4 mm with a little gap in between. Full... metal... wrist!

Great video Jody, if it was a much more thinner quartz watch would be my cup of tea.

Great looking dial, but a little too chunky for my taste. Thanks for the update, Jody.

I own one of their brass watches absolutely love it starting to get patina! Great watch company! Thanks for all your insight Jodi!

put a magnet on the end of the bracelet??

honest as always. Real bulky strap, looking good but it would be a pain to wear it every day.

Hellooo Jody and welcome to my question! Have you considered to do follow up videos of how some of your aquisitions actually behave after let's say one year? It would be nice to know if they still are up to the expectations you had when first reviewing them. Keep up the great work on your channel, thank you Sir!

Not sure if it's the angle (looks straight on), but @3:53 the top bezel index is bang on, but the 9 o'clock is off. Looks a bit odd.

Great looking watch & as you say Jody by far the best looking mesh band any of us would of seen with perhaps the exception of my old vintage Omega diver; but it hard to look past that design floor even with a 7.5" wrist like myself I am going to have a dog tail flopping around which is rare for guys with bigger wrists as you know ⌚💯✔

That lovely case is a copy of a 1970s Citizen 67-9356 (I think) bullhead. I prefer the original but you'd be hard pressed to find a good one now. Nice watch though, shame about that bracelet.

Love the looks of this piece, unfortunately the mash bracelet looks very heavy, I prefer the silicone band than the mash maybe $349.00 and foreget the mash bracelet Thank you my friend for reviewing this spinnaker.

What would you recommend , the tissot Seastar or the mido ocean starr?

Love your channel. What do you think of stuhrling watch? Is it reliable? I hope you can do a review for one of thier dive watches.

Will it accommodate a NATO, leather or rubber strap?

With an 8 inch wrist, I'm actually very very interested in this one!

I have the same problem with a citizen i bought some 3 years ago. It’s really annoying if the retainer does not do its job...

Even at $320 an NH35 is just not good enough, things have really moved on in the last couple of years and I'd expect a Miyota 9000 series or a Seagull St2130 at that price.

I am weird considering I listen Metal and Jazz, like watches and fountain pens, study mythology and math, and keep up with pc hardware?

Wish they would've done sapphire in the bezel as well. I'd pay extra for that

nice watch... ive go for the white dial looks cool cheers

Ooooh,,, The White One,,,, 😍

So it's listed as 44mm diam case on their site?

I really like it, but the bracelet tail will get caught on everything. Great honest review as always Jody 👍

Great review Jody I do like the new bracelet cheers mate

will u review a casio edifice by any chance?

They are popping out watches like crazy now. This watch is not for me. I don't like the shape of it or the weight. I always enjoy your reviews and your honesty. I really liked your recent video of diver watches that were affordable. Including Chinese specials, I shared that video with a lot of people who I know love to buy and have plenty of inexpensive watches. One of my friends purchased three from that list.

That's a complete dog's breakfast.

Hi, how come you still haven’t reviewed Timex marlin. I think it is a well deserved watch to be reviewed. Thanks

Hi, could you review the Orient Kamasu if you get a chance, looks to be an option against the Seiko 5 sports

Excellent review. I have that watch.I love all about it but that bracelet is a deasaster. I experience exactly what is mentioned in the review. I will replace the bracelet. If I had known about it before I wouldnt have bought it. Saw this review too late :)

Nice honest review Jody

Still amazed at how good the NH35 is in so many watches

I like the yellow face model, reminds me of an old Heuer

Nice review, and that is a rather nice watch. The bracelet looks very seriously engineered even given the shortcomings that you mentioned 👍 Tam.

Jody I really wanted to like this one, but sadly I just don't. The hands look silly imo. The strap is over done and is too much for the case design. Thank you for saving me some money though 👍👍

The watch at the lugs looks like it’s been sliced at each end. The ends look to abrupt and that mesh band is odd. That watch is only half thought out.

Jody do you still own your Tevise?

Still after one of those second generation Bradners. Looking good for a new release, and I like it!

My work is on Military time so that 13-24 actually helps me.

Could you magnetise the keeper so it stays put?

Jody, is the new Odyssea worth upgrading to? We’re gonna need a review on that one haha

Hello Jody

Signed up - love that orange one!

Just here waiting for the Richard Le Grand Odyssey III review 😁

IMO: For $400 is just too much money for what you get. Anyone can buy a real microbrand watch brand with a swiss automatic movement for that price or a Miyota 9015 movement for less. What you get doesn´t reflect on the price they are offering.

Needs bigger crown me thinks. Too much inner gap between crown guards and crown.

Do NOT eat the pies Jody! ⛔️

Too bad they don't brand the watch as the "Sea Crab." Missed opportunity imho.

Great watch!! Really like this model 😁👍

That bracelet looks like an arm-hair torture device... I do like the case.
