Tell Phylida to MAKE MORE WATCHES!!!! I been trying to pick one up since October. They keep selling out.
This Phylida watch is one of the best homages ever made. The speedmaster itself is probably the most difficult because you need a decent manual wind movement otherwise its really a homage with these other quartz or automatic versions from other brands. The movement is top notch, I’ve had mine over a year now, and is more accurate than some of my swiss watches (Tissot Visodate) as an example. It just feels like excellent quality.
I agree, its such a well-executed watch, helped by the infamous st19 movement.
Top man Brain! Love this watch, i've actually has offers from random people on facebook to buy mine from me haha!
There is a lot to like about this watch. It's a homage of a very rare watch and this is essentially what makes sense with an homage watch. It's well executed and a handsome watch. One thing the Chinese watch companies struggle with is the geometry of the end links. The fact that its wearable doesn't mean it looks good, especially the way the adjacent bracelet links often slope down in an almost right angle. But this was an amazing and enjoyable review. Cheers and merry Xmas! 🎅👍
The Omega shares that problem with the Bracelet
Great video as usual, Dan. The Tin Tin theme gets me really nostalgic, remembering reading part I and part II of these lunar adventures as a kid. I even had a Tin Tin poster with the motive of one of these books back in the 70s.
Yeah, I'd swap that bracelet out to make it wear better on my tiny wrist, a shame since that seems like a good bracelet. Female end links (and hopefully short lugs) should always be standard IMHO. But otherwise I think this seems like a great chrono watch I'd really consider (if it was available lol). That mechanical ST19 movement is always a gorgeous sight to behold through an visible case back.
Happy Holidays to everyone!
Same we had the comic books at school and i loved ready the crazy adventures...
Nice! I have the Alpha Daytona with the same movement I love it
I was just able to order one of these on 10/21/2022. I think I got the last one from that run, but they do appear to be making them again.
Cracking we'll rounded review my friend....the only thing that I'd change is the corresponding small 12hr wheel, if that could run as a 24 that would be so much better....a real strap monster....love it....⌚🏴⌚🏴
Got the same movement in my 1963, and it's one of the prettiest calibres available. That watch is great value for money, alas it's out of stock.
Waited 6 months for this to be back in stock … there were a few available a 2 weeks … I got one and then it was sold out again in 1 hour
Thank you so much for your great video!
Lovely watch, regrettably had to return 2 both due to crown issues. One was locked solid, the other had too short a stem do random whether would wind or move hands when pushed in. Very fast refunds and free UK return though. May try again when available.
I like these. Phylida makes some good stuff. Sometime down the line, might get one, even if pre owned. A few casios before that. Thanks for the review, lovely as always!
I finally purchased both the standard and Tintin version last week. They apparently modified the end-links... Can't wait to get them! Excellent review
Thats great! Enjoy your new watches.
I call you BS, dirty marketing tactic, this” fantistic” “ unbelievable affordable ST19 speed master whatever version” never existed….they only sell the cheap poorly finished version of that Watch always…..don’t lie for this Chinese crapshoot, how much are they paying you?
The 'diver extension' is for people who wear their watches on the sleeves of their jackets. It might be useful if you were climbing a moutain or driving a bike
Yep! And it‘s great for flightsuits, too! 😬🥳
Yep. Sold out.
Let's hope it's out of stock because they realized it has to be 40mm to fit Tintin anyway!
Pressure Phylida to make more - but how do we do that? We can't leave feedback without buying a product and we can't even "like" the watch to show interest because it's not available.
Great video, great history, perfect "no shame" homage - they really need to make more.
Geepas was quiet today, was he sulking about Di stealing his thunder?
Love the video quality and editing.
A lovely looking watch.....
I managed to order the regular version of this watch but the stock goes quick like this one sold out straight away.
Nice review!
Wish they had done something with the 6 o'clock dial as a duplication of the hour hand is beyond pointless. Could they not add a power reserve indicator or a chronograph hour dial? You mentioned other versions of the seagull movement could do that?
Always enjoy your videos buddy. Keep up the good work!
I have been pining for one of these, but they sold out before I had a chance to get one. Been looking out for one, without success, ever since.
Hi Anthony, I was the same, been checking each day to no success, until today there was 1 in stock, and I bought it rightaway. I did send a msg to Phylida saying there are many buyers forvthis watch, and they will sell fast if they make more, If I hear back from them I will let you know, or if I see any avaible. Don't worry you will get one!!!!
@@scriner11 Wow - that's fantastic. I will keep looking.
Il n’y a que le bracelet en métal qui lui va bien à cette montre car elle est particulière tout de même ... j’ai longtemps hésité sur ce modèle mais mon choix c’est porté sur l’ultra man . Bravo à toi si tu l’as met à ton poignet , elle est spéciale ....mais sûrement attachante car , différente de toutes les speed.
THX 4 video. It's a nice homage, but imho the pushers stick out way to far.
Lovely watch but no longer available... There is a red version but I don't think it's seagull mouvement inside. Great review and great video as always
The Chinese version won't remain rare for long Dan. A wiff of interest from the punters and they'll start knocking them out by the bucket full again. Cheers Dan, always appreciate the history mate.
I fancy one of these, I lack a mechanical chronograph and my first choice a Sekonda 3017 is priced way above my affordability and you can see the heritage of the Venus 150 in the 3017 versus the Venus 175 in the ST19. I might just buy a new movement and collect parts as time goes by and build it up, am at the moment building up a beautiful rose gold Tudor Yachtmaster going with the Miyota option because I keep hearing stories that some DG2813's can be dry upon arrival and perform accordingly. I am getting right into this "build your own watch" thing using Aliexpress etc.
Interesting review Dan , Don't think it's watch for me but can understand why they are popular , almost pulled the trigger there AT homage's but the name meh and my serious dislike for sterile dials - anyways mate , thanks for all the great content over this crazy year Merry Christmas to you and all your family Dan , hope you have a great one !
This is the only china watch I've wanted really badly, but haven't been able to get. It was in stock when I added it to cart months ago, but it went out of stock before I could buy it.
Good review. Please note that the subdial at 6 o'clock isn't the hour counter for the chronograph, but that it follows the hours hand only.
He did note that fact... I've seen others not mention it though. It is an almost useless complication on a watch without a date
@@mikesheehan5946 Sorry, Mike, I missed his correction. This subdial is just to look like the real Speedmaster, but it's a very good replica anyway.
@@Cricri761000 no apology necessary, no problem! You're right, it wouldn't be a speedy homage without something on the third dial. And the fact it actually does something is better than a dummy dial!
Im surprised they named a watch after Rin Tin Tin, the movie dog. Next thing you know we'll have a watch named Lassie. Timmey would be proud.
Nice review ... just got one😀 (December 24th 14.36) only 2 in stock... rare ?? .... because Tintin is from Belgium?🤔🇧🇪
bought one, received defective and returned. Not sure if they buy defective Seagull movement to drive the cost down, but watch out! Return was easy and I got refund fast though.
I know this is an old post but as I've only recently bought a Tin tin Phylida Moonwatch I've noticed that all these models have their tachymetre scales out. The 225 marker is almost at the 3'O clock which should really be the 240 marker. In the earliest models which had the silver and red bezel's the scale markers were correct and even had the 240 at the 3'O clock mark. Now that I've noticed I can't stop looking at the error. See this link for the red and silver bezel and 240 marker on it. @Jason the watch guy's channel czcams.com/video/UMbQVy67tE8/video.html
The 12 hour sub dial..... I thought that should be a totalizer for the chronograph. So I'm surprised to see it appears to be a duplicate of the normal hour hand.
Now I'm wondering if this is true of the 1902 movement in other brands or watches. Honestly thought it was a 12 chronograph. That is a function I needed for work and bought a Glycine combat chrono instead of a 1902 movement not knowing this.
Sold out already? Am I missing something
yeah, it seems to be.
This model was already on sale in September .... so .... :)
This has been sold out for months. Who knows when it'll come back
It come back here and there, limited stock. You've got to watch the phylida store daily to snag one
as OF 0954 24dec 2020-Sorry, this item is no longer available!
Unfortunately I got this beautiful watch but the chronometer minutes hand is not working any idea how to fix?
Will a Corgeut bracelet fit, one of these with female endlinks on their Omega homages?
In the WUS forum someone suggested a hack to make some use of this otherwise useless and redundant 12 h subdial. Open the watch, remove the hand on the 12h subdial and reapply it, set to a different time zone.
What an amazing movement. Wasnt to interested until I saw the movement. Not sure I like the tin tin version.
Same than the Alpha "not Tintin", but the Alpha isn't out of stock and a very very good watch !!
I will take a look at alpha
@@watchmewithwatches Yes you can 😉 2 differences, the Alpha has a mineral crystal and the dial at 6 o'clock on 24H
What is the purpose of the 12-hour hand? Can you set it?
Lovely looking chronograph. Question, why did the 12 hour dial not fly back when you reset the watch?
Typically in a chronograph movement there is a 24 hr dial, and it stays in its hour position regardless of the timers position
@@johnnytv7620 what's its function? I dont get it
A 42mm case size with a 20mm bracelet? Is that common?
Not very popular, for example seiko turtles have a 20mm lug width in a 42/43mm case size. Mostly 22mm lugs on many watches.
What is the counter at 6 for?
How do these Philita chronos run?
The ST19 is probably the only Chinese movement that even the snobs respect.
Why are Phylida not making more of these, it's proven popular and it keeps selling out, i don't get it?
There is a reason, but I'm not certain yet to divulge the info! Fear not, im sure more will come.
@@watchmewithwatches ooh sounds mysterious, i sure hope so!
Sorry to be all mysterious, but think why they wouldn't make lots and lots of watches with the name phylida on the dial.......
@@watchmewithwatches i like where this is going haha, in that case I would gladly wait
These watches are not available, why the review?
Why not?
@@watchmewithwatches why not provide a review and link to a watch that is not available for purchase?
@@crvols this watch must have sold out already. Besides, they will make more! Also, I like to review a watch not just to flog it. Its interesting.
Please stop reviewing watches we love and want to buy but you are SOL because they are not for sale !!! It's just a tease I am tired of.
