Redesigning the Skin Diver : ROIH SHEK-O Matic

Hi guys,
Thanks again for tuning in. This is not perfect by any means and depending how you look at it there are so many questions to ask. Why is this the only model and why should you choose this over an RZE let's say.Well, I think exclusivity plays a huge role but at the same time .. 2 yest down the line will this brand still be remembered? Either way if the next one is the same as this .. I'm all for it.

Hi George, well done review, like all your previous reviews you manage to describe and review the watch perfectly.

[@WatcheswithGeorge]

Hey there. Thanks for the comment and support. I just try and say what I think in my own view. I'm getting more flow in the videos now. The watch is a great find, the only gripe is that they only have this model! I wish they had more! Thanks again for your support!

[@lockhandel]

Excellent review as always!! Keep them coming!

[@edmundchiang]

Thanks for your detailed analysis of the watch. I may pull a trigger on it.

[@CanadianBeachcomber]

I like the design of the case and dial. A matching seconds hand and crown is retro and understated. I wish the lume fill in the bezel pip was more evenly applied or thicker. When I try the link I can’t read the language used on the site.

[@CanadianBeachcomber]

I tried the link again and it displayed in English. 👍🏻

[@Shri_V]

This looks cool especially the dial. I thought skin divers were supposed to be thin but the 13.5 thickness is as much as regular divers.

[@WristWatching]

Great review, George! We need more of those rant sections 🤣 Love the design on this, but that L2L is just too long for my wrists. Excited to see where they go from here with new releases.

[@WatcheswithGeorge]

Hey hey. Thanks for the comment and support. Been going on too often recently :)))) but it let's out steam.

[@Ipeacocks]

Gorgeous look. As for me it's a way better to buy microbrands than homages. It's like you're being honest with yourself.

[@steveoshea1844]

Hey George, great in depth review as always, id accept all of the watches 'cheaper' components like the movement and clasp you mentioned... But that lug to lug makes the watch wear a bit too long in my eyes!

[@WatcheswithGeorge]

Hey Steve. Thanks for the comment. When I had it on the strap you could totally see the gap but I think having a 6.5 +inch wrist would definitely accommodate the watch better. Thanks again for watching.

[@PINKFL0YD-s2h]

Thanks for the review. Sadly I can't find it..

[@WatcheswithGeorge]

Hi Howard, you can't find the website or the watch?

[@PpaStrmpf]

The watch is beautiful, full titanium, love that simple but comfy caseback but it could have better clasp and better movement. The NH35 turns off many watch lovers me personally too.

[@PINKFL0YD-s2h]

Find a Seiko with the same features at this price. Wanting a 9000 is just greed

[@stuart150]

Looks great G, but I can think of too many competitors that I'd choose with better specs at this price, it's just too expensive

[@WatcheswithGeorge]

Hi Stuart. Yeap.. there are a few that compete .. but at the end of the day I thin it's the overall style that has the appeal, but each with their own

[@stuart150]

@WatcheswithGeorge absolutely...but....ToolWatchCo diver I think shades it, and less expensive (whenever it's available!)

[@scatterbrain9490]

Good enough for me

[@karlsenula9495]

First glance sounds like something from a Mel Brooks skit ... that outta the way it looks lovely. Not a fan of the ROIH 'theme' name nor the name of the watch - although the explanation makes it better - but good luck explaining it EVERYTIME some one asks. For the price ... too many small things working against it all adding up (crown, lum, bezel, average movement) that would at the same price direct you elesewhere.

[@WatcheswithGeorge]

Hey there. Thanks for the comment and support. It's an odd one, personally I think the lack of a second model or more options do add to the overall ''weight'' of the brand and it affects the long term credibility.

[@nenadkojic7125]

On what planet is that a h-link bracelet ??? Standard 3 link engineers bracelet Don't like bi colour attempt or the price. Boredomesville IMO

[@WatcheswithGeorge]

Hey there. Thanks for the comment and support. That's how I described it but then again .. it appears I was wrong and well spotted. 😬 Thanks for the planet realignment and thanks for watching.
