Really like your presentation, straight to:the point, with no extra hype and flavors. ❤

Thanks for the review! Just pulled the trigger on this today and watched ur review about five times this week haha! 🤣

Great watch which is on my shopping list now. Good, informative review. Thanks man.

Nice piece from a brand that tends to be overlooked. RW have always turned out well finished watches at a reasonable price. Excellent review.

It’s a beauty for sure. It’s expensive buts it sharp as hell and really well built. I am on right now. Thanks for the sweet review !

Good review of a Great Watch ! Thanks.

Very often overlooked brand by watch channels, good work! :)

I own the black dial/steel version. Regarding the 3 date window issue, I also have to say that I find it very useful as it reads easier in early mornings, in low light conditions. It stands out a lot more and sort of reassuring when you see 13-14-15 in a row your brain copes with it much easily. Not to mention if you are 10 metre below water. Also the window itself is done very elegantly! I think this watch is a great piece. I do have a problem with people not being able to identify the brand, when they ask me they have no clue. I always tell them it's equivalent to a Tag Heuer in terms of the purchase value. It's a great watch, very enjoyable to wear and it is a durable tank. After many years of wearing I still enjoy it and still haven't been able to put any scratches on the glass or even the ceramic bezel. It just shows how high quality the parts this watch built from. Regarding the name. It's all about marketing. If Raymond Weil was all over the shops then it would be hyped. I also have to mention the issue with the ceramic bezel not lining up to centre. Well, mine was the same but after a certain amount of time as it started wearing in it started coming up very accurately to the centre line. Now it is bang on the line. I think they knew what they were doing. People tend to forget the manufacturing side of things. I personally thought that the spring of the bezel will loosen up enough to line up. It still turns tight and snappy thought. When it was new it was just too tight. I felt it was going to loosen up with time and it did. My next watch is going to be a JLC Reverso grand date and I will stop there.

A lot of watch for the money. Looks nicely done and finished.

Finally I just bought one on black version should be coming next week & thank you for your review.

awesome good welcome back teacher

Nice !!! Wish I have one of these

The TV series so popular in 90's with the name , and a most wanted beautiful resign watches for most of BUSSINESSMAN today.

Good review. I have a similar watch to this. Very smart looking piece. Raymond Weil make models from entry level right up to "big money" prices. Some of their range can be quite "chintzy" but one of the reasons why this brand is so successful is due to the build quality and finish of their serious midrange models, along with design detail, which is unbeatable. The trick with this brand is to never pay the rrp - Raymond Weils can be come across at significantly discounted prices - if you are lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time.

Tried one of these a little while ago. Great build quality. Bracelet felt great. Cheers Ivan. P.s that pen haha its a big one.

I own this exact watch and two things i would like to change about it are: 1. It's very difficult to wind and screw the crown back in. Apparently this is a common complaint for the Sellita SW200 movement. 2. No micro adjustments on the clasp makes it difficult to wear comfortably in the hot summer weather. Other than these two issues I am very pleased with this watch and wear it in rotation.

Very nice review. Elegant design. 3 opening for the date is simply if you happen to check the date when the minute hand happened to be overlying the date sperture then you still can tell the date

Funny, today i wore a watch that is 50,5mm lug to lug. A little too much for me too. Do i keep it or grow bigger wrists?

I like it. Although it seems a bit to big for me :P The date "showcase" having 3 numbers visible is a nice touch. The case back could have used a little something in the center, maybe their logo (even though they have it on the crown) or one with the see through glass. Nice vid as always ;)

There is a dealer that actually sells those I handled that exact same model really liked it felt like great quality loved the color

Man these watches are sweet! Very under rated company.

In the UK. This is currently on sale from £1695 to £1020. However, if you go to the Ernest Jones website (a reputable company). You can get an additional £200 off any watch over a £1000. So basically what I'm saying is, I've just ordered this bad boy for £820 🤫

Hi i have casio abx 20 from 1995 when its 12 hours in night its start beeping longer i dont know why and it have hourly chime sorry for bad english

I'd like it more if they changed the branding on the face to just. RW

I just got this today as a wedding gift.. silver dial

AAA beautiful watch

Always liked the Freelancer... But probably because of the Jubilee! Its a nice watch tbh, even if the brand is not exactly, hmmm, an exciting one.

Always liked Raymond Weil, but I've never understood their pricing. They are up there with Tag Heuer in that regard.

Really coincidental but today i received delivery of the black version.. im sending mine back.. two things are really not good .. just like yours the bezel pip does not align with the 12 marker.. slightly to the right.. mine is the same and considering i can get numerous reps with correct alignment thats disappointing at this price point. Other niggle is lack of micro adjustment on the great bracelet.. lets it down badly.. once youve had a pelagos or a glidelock it really matters..

Thanks for this review, Ivan. I can not say that this Raymond Weil is an interesting nor unique watch, but my wife and I had owned several RW before, so I really enjoyed this review. it is solid watch, JUST LIKE ORIS. that would be a perfect comparison between Oris and RW except Oris is getting really popular and doing few things that will make the company go forward rapidly, unlike RW which as been stagnant for a decade or so. Just two years ago, for a first time, RW made their own movement called Freelancer 1212 (apparently 1212 is the postal code of the company location in Geneva, kind of stupid in my opinion, but....well....), but I guess that was their attempt to get their company going for a better direction which did not turn out well. their own movement watches are also being sold and discounted between $1000 to $1300 mostly in gray market, so THAT WAS THAT.... (by the way, their own 1212 wasn't anything special at all....that might be the biggest reason...) However, as for a company that has been around since 1976 (only 43 years of watch history...), they are still around and a solid mid class watch company that turns out many good value watches (but way behind of technology and innovation), but I am bit afraid that they might be bought by some bigger watch corporation rather soon. As I know, they are still Swiss private company owned by a family. Those private family owned watch companies are very hard to find recently, as you know. Watch industry is one of the toughest industries to keep up and do their marketing. And recently, there has been plethora of new micro brands popping up like mushrooms and I expect that only few percent will survive in next five years or so..... As for Raymond Weil, it is a good watch company (since it is still family owned) among many others. I just wonder how long they will be around and just hope that they can come out with something special (like Oris) to turn the company around in very near future. again, I do appreciate your fantastic reviews and enjoy final couple of hours of Sunday in Perth. (BTW, I am in Los Angeles) PS: to answer your question about 3 number date window, I also prefer one number date window FOR THIS WATCH. it is strictly aesthetic matter (IMO) whether to have 3# or 1# date window. but for this watch, yes, one # looks better.

Interesting reading the comments Ivan: "too many diver reviews"? Not for me:after all, few dive watches are ever taken scuba diving. In reality, "diver" with respect to watches refers more to a style than a function. And "divers" are very broad in style and as a result, a large proportion of available watch designs fall within it. "This watch is generic"? Well surely all dive watches are generic. The definition of generic is "characteristic of or relating to a class or group of things" according to one online dictionary. If there is indeed a genre that covers blue submersible watches then I actually feel that there is more reviewing to be done. A comparison of this watch to a stylistically similar Christopher Ward with the same movement but at less than half the price would be interesting as would adding the Sea Gull Ocean Star into the mix. In the final analysis what watch channels like this one offer is information that allows us to make determinations about which watches to buy. And they help us think about what values are really important. Some will undoubtedly think the words "Swiss Made" make the RW worth the additional cash but then my view is coloured and diminished because I remember this brand as the Swiss one air hostesses punted around duty free on flights in the 80's. So I hope Ivan that this is far from your last diver review because for me there is much more of interest to explore. As ever, I thoroughly enjoyed your stimulating vid - thank you.

Very nice watch with really great quality. But, still nothing to set it apart from other watches at that same level. Still, nice watch.

This watch vs Longines Hydroconquest? Can anyone pitch in? Thanks

I don’t think I could ever wear this watch without wondering who it is Raymond Weil and why do I have to be reminded of this person every time I check the time. Brands with fist and last names seem like someone is stroking their ego

Waow, that 2 secs is way in COSC standards... That's what I like about independent, family ran businesses... They cannot afford to do shitty production...

Good thorough review! It's a nice looking watch, and pretty well made. However, it's not worth the full RRP IMO. There are too many watches out there with the same specs at a better price.

Everybody loves neagan 😱

How much the price

Nice.... a bit much for another uninspired diver. Good alternative to the CW MkIII (for those who can't stand the branding) as it looks to be the exact same color.

A lot better than oris i.m.o.

You want to stand out from the crowd, wear a Raymon Weil.....

Nice watch but the brand screams of a fashion watch with a luxury price! :P

😱$$$$$$

Buy it preowned cheap, I have a chance to get this watch new for $450

I see about $1500 worth of watch.

3000??

i cant get why owhy brands coat outside of a saphire crysatal - its idiotic and counterproductive

Great review. It’s very unoriginal, and I don’t like the date cutout. Can get my SW200 or 2824 powered watches for less. Would take a Squale 1521 in a second over this.

Delma blue shark destroys this

Seems like a quality watch ... it's just a little generic for me

Too many dive watch reviews here.

Great work, but an ugly watch
