Thanks Al! The Aventurine has been the #1 seller from day one. A bit of a surprise to be honest, but delighted that people seem to like it. Including you mate! Cheers, Jody

I wanted to check out the actual Malachite dial I would receive - I don't want a curved version of pattern but your team could not guarantee that. I get that - there is only so much individualization one can provide. Also: if you produce quartz versions I will buy a minimum of two.

I had already ordered the Aventurine on a jubilee, but now I've also gone and ordered the enamel white on an oyster as well so I've got a genuine GADA as well as dressy option combo. I think I might need to seek professional help

Good on you for being one of the reviewers for the watch. I also agree that it is on the dressier side, but that’s what I was looking for. Going with the white enamel with the J Style and will be used as my “dress” watch. I have to wear a suit for my work on many occasions, but I never had a dedicated dress watch, but this will definitely fit that bill. Thanks for the great review!

To be clear Tony, that couldn't be further from the truth. What you may not see is the months of prototyping, refining and thought that has gone into both the Ascent and Origin models.

Very thorough review , Thumbs up given! At first thought Jody was spreading himself too thin with all the dial and bracelet options he might be over saturating the market. But when I went to order, I found that I couldn't decide on just one so I had to buy two. I see what you did there Jody, by offering so many distinct and different configurations and low early bird prices many buyers will purchase multiples. You clever bastard.

It is a special watch this one. I wish i had room in my watch box for it, but I can't bear to part with the dozen I have in there now (one in, one out rule). I think this is a better release than the Origin. Hopefully they do an Origin v2 fixing a few minor things, but for this one - I can't think of anything they can do to improve it, other than a display caseback. I'd like to also see a black+gilt dial, and a limited edition meteorite dial. One question though - does the oyster bracelet have a half-link option? Oyster bracelets without half links can be a lottery getting a good fit. Jubilee bracelets are a guaranteed good fit though as every link is like an oyster half link.

@eingames99314 ай бұрын
Well when the reviewers have different lights which throw out different spectrums of light they will look a little different. And then they have different cameras which might throw it off some more. And while writing this I saw the lume section and the black light really shifted the color of the dial due to the uv light to activate the lume- just ignore that section for color. Really, just trust the pictures on the Erebus site since the professional photographer used should know what he is doing.
