Good review. Sapphire sandwhich solves the scratches and display case back. Love mine.

Thank - yeah, it’s a trade off. Wish Omega gave the display back with the Hesalite model, but then it would detract from the “spirit” of the OG.

The not having odd numbers along with the even hours ruins it for me ... the 3 armed hour piece is amazing though,, unfortunate. Maybe need a red version , make it look like Sharingan in Naruto ..

Just got hold of a GW-9400 (and love it), so of course I'm only now coming across this video, which covers the watch's details nicely: One interesting you mention vis-a-vis the Rangemaster is the latter's vibration-resistance tech: as I see it, the Rangeman doesn't *need* "vibe resist" on account of the module having no moving parts, as opposed to the and-digi hybrid module of the Mudmaster, where the analog bits would indeed need toughening-up to avoid going out of alignment. As far as Casio downplaying the mud/dust-resistant properties of the Rangeman (presumably to better emphasize the same properties of the newer Mudman/Mudmaster Gs), I'll just echo the opinion of other KZbin folks pointing out that Casio merely painted themselves into a corner by making the Rangemaster *too* good (if that's actually a thing). Clearly, the more-astute part of the watch marketplace has spoken, since the Rangeman seems to remain a bestseller.
@PerthWAtchКүн бұрын
Thanks for taking the time to make these detailed comment and thoughts - much appreciated! You make some excellent points there about this module not requiring vibe resistance.

With the Skeleton dial and movement it's a complete mess, very difficult to read the time except in the dark when the way the lume is used makes it really easy to tell the time. Perfect watch for a vampire who likes diving, a niche market.

Hello and thanks for this video. I like the job done by Olto-8, it is an interesting microbrand. Thus, this watch could have been a success. But imo there are too many flaws.
@PerthWAtchКүн бұрын
Thanks for that - what do you consider to be the main flaws here?
@chrisenchemin7183Күн бұрын
@@PerthWAtch At this price range, and even an early bird price is never the real price once KS campaign ended, you can't expect something really solid. But you could expect some fun, and, for sure, this watch is made for. But I don't like the case, with some kind of ugly pvd coating which, on the video, just looks like plastic, I really do not see the point here. I also do not like the tiny 36 hours PR. Even if Olto says it is some kind of manufactured movement, ... 36 hours ! About diameter, 42 mm is a bit too big for me. To end, I also prefer watches which you can read the time on. And this two tones dial, case, movement doesn't help. This Tide X Diver will be price ranged a bit above the Roto, especially due to the water resistance. But Olto-8 Roto's case looks like 316 L made and is just 39 mm. The movement got 6 hours more of PW and you could easily see hours and minutes on the dial. I'll chose the Olto.

yeah this is crazy I actually bought one on FB marketplace in the states and it was the fake, but because of all the official branding I couldn't figure out why it seemed off cause it appeared to be real. A giveaway on mine though was that the box had an Amazon "LPN" sticker on it which means it was at some point a return for amazon and sold at a lesser price. This sucks because it means that someone was selling the fake ones as the real ones on Amazon at some point.

Oh wow scary eh? Amazon in US must work a bit different to the Aussie one… coz I doubt a third party seller could successfully sell anything that is already being sold by Amazon itself on the Aussie site…

In Case anyone doesn't know this ! There is Quite a difference between paying £ 19,000 for a Rolex and £ 75 for a Quartz Invicta ! The Invicta is Accurate, Doesn't need Sevicing and you are not going to lose a lot of money if the Watch is Destroyed or Stolen ! And who cares what anyone thinks ! If you are an Under Manager you need to Impress Everyone with a Fake or a Real Rolex !

Let’s say you design an original product which becomes a bestseller. A few years later someone copies it and undercuts your pricing. And then a buyer tells you they don’t see anything wrong with buying the cheap copy. Just saying :)

@PerthWAtch Just because you Manufacture a Car and call it a ROLLS ROYCE, doesn't mean that you can stop anyone else fom making a Car ! Rolex Watches are very over priced. The people who buy Invictas are not going to pay £19, 000 for a Rolex anyway. Rich people only want a Genuine Rolex and they are not worried about Invictas ! This happens all the Time in a Capitalist Money driven society !
