@@damyr Casio got a bit expensive recently.. :/

[@damyr]

@@TomasWatchReviews You mean about 10-20% up in price, just like everything else? Or you mean that in recent years they started to produce some more expensive, "shinier" models? I can't blame Casio for any of those reasons. Inflation nowadays is a global thing, mostly because of cost of fuel. And, in the other case, if they want to milk some dumbos, who have excess of money, with shiny expensive objects, they have every right to do so, just like any other company. Btw, I'm recently following their prices as I want to buy few models for presents. They really didn't go up much.

[@TomasWatchReviews]

@@damyr yes, I don't blame them.

[@damyr]

@@TomasWatchReviews But you, as a watch reviewer, have to buy the newest metal Casioaks, in all three colorways for a review. We, as your subscribers, expect you to do that. And it won't cost you much. Around $2.5k is practically nothing for you since you earn millions from your KZbin channel. And after the review, you need to make a giveaway. 😂

[@digrinha5350]

the watch looks beautiful. 36mm is an amazing size

[@supplementalhorsey4510]

Very nice. I have the two-tone version of this with the Miyota movement and quite like it. Like you I'm tempted to get another colorway of it too (probably the all-silver). 😃

[@mitchellsmith1593]

Do you have the model# or link to where to purchase? Thank you

[@marcusrico5288]

How do you feel about that bracelet? Is it sharp or is it buttery smooth?

[@supplementalhorsey4510]

@@marcusrico5288 No complaints on that front. Wears quite comfortably. Even a year later, I still wear it every few weeks all day at work. I bought some higher end watches since then, so they get more wear time, but I still enjoy this one occasionally too and don't regret buying it.

[@ScanianSwede]

Fantastic review. Straight to the point, valuable information and wonderful shots. Thank you!

[@steven2809]

Looks just like the Cadisen you fell in love with many months ago.... 🙂

[@senny_penny]

Great watch! I have Citizen Datejust 36mm (Eagle 7 Automatic) and absolutely happy about that

[@kurdn7010]

Where did you buy it I don’t see it on Amazon

[@senny_penny]

@@kurdn7010 bought it from watchmaker on the market for about $30 lol

[@WesWatchRoom]

That is a bit strange it waits so long but least it works. Not the biggest gold / faux gold fan, so I'd probably stick to the steel.

[@mitchellsmith1593]

Best reviews on you tube!

Love them Tomas, have not seen you for a while.

I love how he stresses TIGHT! lol. Kills me every time.

[@SuperSK73]

Liked your review

[@hubertprocki9856]

You got me interested by mentioning the seal lubrication. I don't remebrer anyone in this youtube watch review world bring it up. Maybe a video on that topic? I'm sure someone would benefit from it.

[@TomasWatchReviews]

nah man, nobody really cares. I just don't swim with any of my Chinese watches without lubricating o-rings and crowns myself.

[@hubertprocki9856]

Well, you're probably right. I guess i'll just move my lazy ass around the internet and dig deeper into that by myself. 😄

Cuál es el calibre del reloj? No lo reconozco a simple vista

[@maxfaberg128]

I got the Two tone and what can I say? While I'm relieved that I picked up a used one for under 50 bucks I gotta say: this watch performes very weak. Why? It's just too thick, too clumsy, the lugs are thick and clumsy. Just no. The watch doesnt sit well on the wrist, the backplate just raises the watch so high, that the sides doesnt close clean with your wrist. This is maybe ok with a field watch on a nato strap but not for a dress watch. Proportions are very bad,. It's a shiny potato. What I've learned? You won't find a decent 36mm datejust homage on Aliexpress. Even Vintage DJ Homage quartz watches will just look more refined and beautiful. For chinese brands San Martin 36mm DJ could be a nice pick but at that price point you could also just buy a super clone (or even 2) and be happy lol

[@eazy___4032]

Thanks for letting us know! So in your opinion there's no decent DJ homage out there?

[@TomasWatchReviews]

Its not a dress watch, it is a sports watch :) do not have any problems with comfort on leather straps.. what is your wrist size?

[@maxfaberg128]

@@TomasWatchReviews Parnis' product maybe is sporty (because it's so clumsy) but the famous watch they are homaging is of course considered to be a dress watch. A fluted bezel doesnt scream "sport" but "dress" :) If the thickness would have come because of a domed curved crystal, I would understand, but almost 13mm thickness with a flat crystal is bad for a Datejust in 36mm und such short lugs. A 38-40mm Model compensates the thickness with a 48mm lug-to-lug. You can see this for example on the Cadisen watches. Just compare how the Parnis sits on your wrist with the Cadisen. Cadisen sits clean, Parnis sticks out because of the back. Wrist size is 18cm. I found the watch to look even more absurd on leather straps because then you see even more how thick the lugs are (which makes them look even shorter than they are, what makes the watch look even more clumsy). Very bad proportions.

[@TomasWatchReviews]

I guess I am just used to the top heavy watches then. The worst I can remember was Invicta Pro Diver with this kind of a problem.

[@maxfaberg128]

@@TomasWatchReviews for the clones they use an asian copy of ETA 2836 movement, which allowes to build slim 36mm watches. I'm suprised that there is until now no homage watch which uses the same principle. San Martin released a 36,5mm dj homage but it looks more like trimmed down 37/38mm so the dial is a big to big too. the PT5000 they use in their great Explorer Homage is a copy of ETA 2824, hope the company which produces pt5000 will also hop on the effortable clone 2836 train too.

[@nintendokings]

Not big on faux-gold. I don’t mind real gold plating etc on vintage watches

[@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess]

Gold plating doesn't age well

[@nintendokings]

@@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess depends on how thick it is. I have a vintage Omega with 30microns gold plating and it looks perfect

[@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess]

@@nintendokings I suppose you're right, my dad's 2 tone Tag Heuer 2000 most of the gold plating wore off, but Tag Heuer restored it for him. But an Omega probably has higher quality plating I personally was never attracted to gold in jewelry. I'm taking Industrial Automation and programming applied to robotics, which has a lot of mechanical engineering in it, so I've learned to appreciate the practical use and properties of gold, I think gold is such a useful metal it's wasted for ornamental purposes

[@nintendokings]

@@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess gold filled, gold capped or solid gold are of course preferable. I also have cheaper vintage gold-plated watches that don’t look so good. But at least it’s genuine gold plating. This is just coloured steel. I know gold is used in electronics but not much else

[@sg7443]

Would like a Pagani GMT Rootbeer review.

[@NecKClippA]

I cant decide if i wanna go for the full gold or the two tone with the gold dial .... hmmn

[@TomasWatchReviews]

have not seen two tone in person yet, can't help :)

[@NecKClippA]

Id hate to be annoying but could you take a picture of the gold watch but with a leather strap so i can see how it looks on strap? :) i couldnt find any picture of the gold one with a leather strap anywhere :(

[@TomasWatchReviews]

Another day will make a video. Thanks for the idea.

[@i.michailov]

if you compare it to San Martin is it worth it to spend extra money or save some and get the parnis?

[@TomasWatchReviews]

never had SM, can't really tell anything.

[@adayinmylifeindia]

Hi there..are they still better? Running smoothly

[@TomasWatchReviews]

sold them long time ago :) Had silver one for a year + and it did run great.

[@adayinmylifeindia]

@@TomasWatchReviews planning to buy one..thanks

[@mickyleyva3883]

Hi, have you seen that there is a new color? The rose gold

[@TomasWatchReviews]

no, but I sow the one with the black dial. Looks amazing.

[@mitchhills1244]

Is it a very yellow gold or more of a champagne?

[@TomasWatchReviews]

very yellow

[@mitchhills1244]

@@TomasWatchReviews damn, I prefer a more light gold. Sometimes very yellow gold looks a bit cheap

[@eurabio]

So wich datejust is better, Parnis or Cadisen?

[@TomasWatchReviews]

Cadisen cyclop is not sapphire. Cadisen bracelet feels better. Cadisen 38mm vs Parnis 36mm. Cadisen inside walls are polished out. Cadisen blue looks incredible. Cadisen is not screw down crown, Parnis is.

[@matejsvigir1449]

Alarm also and orange light on digital display…

[@matejsvigir1449]

Check aqs800 casio, black version… light, all usual digital functions, orange backlight, lume on hands and numbers… its a solar watch!

[@matejsvigir1449]

But black and white numbers version, not black and orange….

[@stephenmcloughlin9894]

I am a bit scared of that movement; probably too dependent on my NH35s and Miyota 8215s.

[@TomasWatchReviews]

understandable. I was scared at first as well.

[@ton28559]

much thick bottom, is not comfortable doint by it!!!

[@TomasWatchReviews]

yes, but it is a small watch.
