What country are you in? They're £240 here in the UK.

Yeah, I just sent a message. Thanks! I think even if that are willing to swap, I'm going to keep it.

Hahaha!

No need to rub it in....

I have not seen the teal in person, but I'm glad you're a fan. About the top heavy nature, while I'm by no means a watch collector, I have worn a good number of divers before and this one seems par for the course. Are you wearing it loose, perhaps?

I wonder how often these will be seen in the wild... I'm guessing outside of a watch convention, the chances of seeing another Erebus are going to be slim! No, I don't wear it loose. It is just right with a little wiggle room so it isn't smashing my wrist. I weighed it without the bracelet and it came in at 89 grams. My Casio Duro is about 10 grams less. Granted, it is quartz, so there is some weight savings there. I'm also used to my older Citizen titanium diver. It weighs 89 WITH the bracelet. Regardless, I'm not going to let that stop me from wearing it!@@DanAndreiVladut

Hey! I'm glad. Cheers

That's interesting, I wonder how that would work. I thought it's done by machine.

It’s nicer than any of the dozen Ali watches I have. Also like the on the fly clasp adjustment which isn’t on any of my collection. Blasted dial is nice too. Think if you had one in your hand you’d see the money.

@@JudeSturmancouldn’t agree more, besides my one truly awesome San Martin, which is an unoriginal design homage and still lacks on the fly microadjust on the bracelet, this Erebus craps on all my Ali Express watches. I loved my purple on curved h link bracelet with black strap pack when it arrived that I ordered a red one on the flat h link that afternoon!

@@JudeSturman yes because the misaligned bezel and the poor case finish on this video scream quality. If I had the watch in this video in hand as you say it would be returned to sender.

Y'all need to chill. It's very obvious that QC slipped on several watches. When it is done perfectly (which seems to be most of the time) this watch is better than any Ali homage (in my opinion).

For the price what do people expect…. 😂

Oh bummer on the bracelet. Did you get the flat link?

First thing I noticed about mine is the sharp edge on the bracelet, but happy to report that it isn’t felt on wrist

What are you comparing the lume against? On camera it looked very different than in person.

Comparing it to others who have the same watch at the Facebook group. Even older watches the LUm is underwhelming

As far as I can tell from looking around, here and there, some others have a few issues, but most people are happy.

I'm glad you love it. What color did you receive?

@@DanAndreiVladut I have the black dial.

Did he ever say who the OEM of the watch is?

@@DanAndreiVladut Sorry. I’m not sure what you are asking?

I was wondering if Jody ever revealed who made the watch. I suspect it was San Martin, but I haven't seen confirmation.

@@DanAndreiVladut Ah… no he didn’t say, but I think you are right. I think it’s San Martin. Especially since the clasp is the same as the ones SM uses.

Will do. Very different experience than the Helm it seems. I do like the design language but I could never pull of the size of a Vanuatu. This Erebus is a perfect option for my small ish wrists.

Well, what do you think of the silver? I was initially put off because I expected white. But after a few days I really like it. You?

Yes mine is silver too, and might have a slight pink hue to it also? But I really like the silve’ish dial👌

I don't mind it. I was really hoping for a white dial, though. Not a big enough problem for me to complain about.

Yep. I'm waiting for a response, but I'm honestly happy enough as is. I haven't been able to put the watch back and use something else since.

@@DanAndreiVladutHave you received a response yet, I have the same problem with my bezel it’s slightly off unfortunately. Iv emailed but I haven’t got a response yet.

Thanks!

Yeah, I'll ask.

Super! Do you enjoy the watch?

Glad to hear that. It's the way of the world for me...

No shit, Sherlock.

@@DanAndreiVladut Dude you only have like 203 views. Also keep digging WATSON!!!

I think his reply was because the two watches are so different. This is a cheap diver and the Speedmaster an expensive chronograph so the comparison is ridiculous. Maybe you meant Seamaster?

@@morganthedruid1 I'm being slightly incendiary--maybe a bit more. The Erebus looks good, but the dial is missing something. Don't know if its the texture. Comparing it to a speedmaster was a slight joke.

@@sergious_null Its no joke, its turrets! You Speedmaster guys cannot help yourselves 😂 Do you even own one?

Oh wow, you're right! Some pictures, it looks like the angle of the photo is to blame. But there are definitely many straight on photos with misaligned bezels. Ouch. Mersi. Baftă cu ceasul tău.

So finally arrived last night, black. It is in excellent condition, no complaints there. It is a bit heavy, but I will get used to it as I did with other heavy pieces I heave (for example Casio Duro MDV 106 on a bracelet). I have a hairy hand, and noticed that I got some of it pulled off on the top of the wrist, on the four corners of the lugs where the they meet with the bracelet (I went for the curved linked option). Very legible, easy to read, literally from across the room, solid durable feel to it. I see why they choose to have a simple and not so busy dial : is not a beautifull watch to look at it not ugly at all ider, it is verry toolish like, not designed to be admired, or to distract you at a glance... with that in mind they did a great job ¨hidding¨ the date at the 6 o´clock marker. The feel that I get is: put it on, feel it on the wrist, as the manly watch that it is, look at it when you need to, and move on, will not distract you with anything, the wheight is there as a reminder of it´s toghness, and durability. The price was 362 € (I opted for the balck strap pack ) plus 158 € for import taxes here in Spain (WTF right? what a rip off). So, there is no perfection anywhere in the world, obviously the Origin it is not. I would buy it again, HELL YES, in fact I wish I could buy all of them. Really impressed with the first Erebus watch, the Origin it is well grounded, and I am sure will be remembered as a great watch in the future. I can´t wait to see what they come up with next.

For sure. I tolerated dial misalignment on a cheap Ali Express watch, and on an old American Vaer before I learned to pay attention to details. But nothing over $50 should have crooked indexes or the like. The triangle makes it kinda obvious, but I don't think a circle would have looked as good. This is still better. Sorry about your Sinn

I'm glad. It's just my luck.

DHL says my Orange will arrive Friday. I’m in the Disney state as well so will keep an eye out for your White Erebus lol. Make it my life goal to spot a Erebus on the street. Enjoy!

​@@jhoag2577 Haha, good luck. Let me know what you think of the orange, please. I was stuck choosing between these two and I went for the white for discretion.

Thanks for watching. I appreciate the compliment.

Thanks for watching.

I did. We'll see what comes to replace it.

Thanks for watching. That's the sad thing about budget knives. There is no incentive to have really careful QC.

Well I think there is an incentive. It’s to continue to sell knives. Even if there $46. You won’t continue to sell them if QC not there. My two cents

Thanks for watching. I hope they figure it out. They have some special designs i think.

Tha ks for watching! That's my hope too. Like I said in the video, tons of potential on this one.
