It’s printed on the Tank Must Large (in the VII) and the XL and Small but on a different number.

Nice!

My first automatic watch was a Phoibos Submariner homage back in 2017, before they even had a logo! Ceramic bezel, sunburst dial, decent bracelet and clasp, Miyota 9000-series movement that ran great. Gifted it to a nephew years ago, but it’ll always be my first automatic watch.

Phoibos very quickly moved on from homages to their own designs and prove beyond a doubt Chinese watches can be both great watches and original designs.

commented on How many of you actually wear your watch in the pool or ocean? ·

C. Never. I haven’t been in a pool or open body of water in over a decade now. Strictly limited to desk diving.

Casio of course!

Gorgeous watch!

If you’ve not already done so, try letting the watch rest overnight in the various positions (dial up/down, crown up/down, crown right/left) to determine if the watch will gain time in any of them. If there is a resting position that gains time you can drive the avg daily rate up.

Let us say, hypothetically, you've decided to add the Christoper Ward C1 Bell Canto to your collection. From the current catalog, what color do you chose? Comment for strap color or bracelet.
