A $100 FURLAN MARRI! | The Mysterious Code Vintage Chronograph

[@EscapeWheel]

They need to offer a custom dial option for $15. 1 they would make so many more, and 2, the name complaints would stop , and 3, I'd probably have at least a couple already

[@Tone_SA]

Maybe we could try asking them if they would provide this option for us.

[@captaingrumpy-f5x]

@ Escape Wheel watch Reviews. I totally agree. They have several beautiful and very unusual watches I'm interested in, but I've never bought them because of this totally ridiculous name. It's a shame really, because it's a very interesting brand.

[@captaingrumpy-f5x]

@@Tone_SA I've actually thought of that, so I tried to find their contact details but couldn't find any.

[@chrispekel5709]

@@captaingrumpy-f5x it's supposed to be silly. I like it, it's fun

[@steveyoung101]

I am ok with the name. I have a few of their watches. They are good quality and the design is good as well.

[@chrispekel5709]

I must be the only person who likes the name and the big font - I think it's cheesy 60's secret agent-ish. And no, I don't make or sell them haha

[@Tone_SA]

Good take on it, for me, it doesn't really bother me, and I do somewhat like the font actually. Just that the name sounds a little weird but at least it makes sense haha.

[@glaubercarneirolorenzini4196]

First I thought awkward this brand name... Now I love it because it's original and creative...

[@nicolascampe8101]

That was a real nice review... Thanks

[@ArA12459]

I love your reviews. It is a pity that this brand is left out because of the name, the watch looks well made.

[@Tone_SA]

Agree 100%

[@muntaqamahi9749]

i would love to own this honestly, that name would work as cherry on the top for me. i know sooner or later i’ll pull the trigger to quench my vintage chrono thirst even though i have 27 watches currently 😢

[@wayneriley7367]

I’d like to check a few of these Chinese watches out since I live in Beijing, but having a name of mysterious code on the watch is weird. Why not just MC?

[@Tone_SA]

I think they sell locally mostly, so the name is just a way to make it sound more modern to the chinese public there. The brand is pretty popular on Chinese ecommerce sites

[@WesWatchRoom]

There's a lot to like about this one apart from the name. Do you know if they make a sterile version as I'd definitely be interested in it. Great work with the review, you definitely deserve a bigger audience.

[@Tone_SA]

From what I know the aliexpress seller is just a store that gets their stuff from a main company that sells locally in China, so it may be hard to get a sterile version of the dial

[@WesWatchRoom]

@@Tone_SA I see, that's a shame. Wonder how difficult it would be to track down the manufacturer?

[@Tone_SA]

@@WesWatchRoom I notice there is also a store on Taobao, which sells locally to china, selling these pieces at a cheaper rate. That may be the official store, so I will try and speak to them. Sadly it's difficult for the US and Europe to order from them I think. Shipping and returns is costly.

[@WesWatchRoom]

@@Tone_SA nice one, best of luck getting info

[@nekrozclockwork]

I think the complaints about the name are greatly exaggerated, it ain't a good name but it isn't bagelsport bad, as for everything else it looks great. Hope you can get the more interesting offerings of the brand in because I'm really interested in the floating hours complication one.

[@Tone_SA]

I agree with that too. Its bad, but its on the same scale as Pagani Design but not as bad as Parnis or Hruodland. I'm hoping the aliexpress store would allow me a review piece or something similar, 300 dollars for the floating hour is a bit out of my budget now haha.

[@nekrozclockwork]

@@Tone_SA well I hope you do get it, you have some of the best reviews on the site and I love to see your channel getting bigger. Good luck with that

[@Tone_SA]

@@nekrozclockwork Thank you very much

[@garybrown4671]

I like it. Thanks for the review.

[@АлексейПерцух]

Спасибо! Классный обзор. Читал с помощью автоматических титров.

[@spgk6470]

I really don't understand the hate on the brands name really. To me pagani design sounds a lot worse since i know the car brand. Also escapement time sounds as irrelevant to watches as mysterious code. Maybe because English is not my first language.. Anyway, this is on my radar from now on. Nice review!

[@Tone_SA]

Thank you!

[@rap31264]

Did you get that hair or whatever it is off the dial right above the C on Chronograph?

[@Tone_SA]

Unfortunately I did not, but fortunately, since it's so tiny, I can't see it at a wrist length usually. Guess its just one of the problems with buying cheaper watches I guess haha

[@rap31264]

yes it is...LOL

[@jamesblonde2271]

I'd buy this if they sorted out the branding....

[@LambentOrt]

Mysterious Code just sounds a bit amateurish... but if they shortened it to just CODE, I think it would be cool.

[@Tone_SA]

Agreed!

[@eliass0n]

Am I the only one who can't see this exact model on ali express page? All the models have different colours that aren't as good looking as this one

[@Tone_SA]

Check my link in the description

[@yusufbest4475]

Amazing watch for that price.. but that mysterious code on the dial is like self sabotage..

[@Tone_SA]

Haha ye that's true

[@meizuc9504]

They should write mytruos code in chinese It will make real mystery and i wll buy it😂

[@Tone_SA]

😅

[@tancreddehauteville764]

The name has to be the stupidest ever, unless they are marketing their watches at 11 year old kids.

[@icewallowkum1566]

Unfortunately the name is dunce material.

[@Tone_SA]

I agree, but IMO, the specs are good enough for me to ignore it

[@icewallowkum1566]

Decent looks as well 👌

[@yusufbest4475]

😂😅

[@chrispekel5709]

It's great! It's like an old spy film

[@rouju]

This is basically Furlan Marri with lesser finishing and build quality.... really makes Furlan Marri kinda overpriced

[@Tone_SA]

I wouldn't even say the build quality is worse, I've held the original FM before and it's not much better than this. Finishing wise, maybe, but build quality is probably not.

[@shaunkelly3562]

Sorry, but I can't take the watch seriously with a odd name like that.

China just displays the products as good quality by its appearance but inside its Made in china legacy continues 😂😂

[@Tone_SA]

Most of the items you use are all made in China. So location of manufacture doesn't really determine quality, does it.

[@rioriggs3568]

Mysterious Code is one of the worst brand name in the history of humanity. It's the reason 99.9% of his don't buy this abomination.

[@NathanChisholm041]

The name is terrible!
