ROLEX KILLER? The Arcticus Field Watch is SO GOOD!

#rolex #oysterperpetual #watchreviews
Is this watch the Rolex Killer?
OK, the Arcticus Field Watch from MAS watches of Australia is not going to take over the Rolex market but if you are looking for a well built watch that has style for days, an amazing price and looks a lot like the new Oyster Perpetual from Rolex then this watch is for you!
MAS watches really does make stunning watches at affordable prices and this latest offering is an automatic watch that gives sooooo much bang for your buck! I absolutely love it! Did I mention I don't get to keep the watch and I don't get paid for the review, 100% true, I just LOVE this watch!
I hope you enjoy the review :) Let me know in the comments what YOU think.

Another great watch from MAS. Liking the sandwich dial. Makes it unique especially for a field watch. Great review my friend. Can’t wait to review this beauty.

[@BeerandWatches]

Thanks man. You are going to enjoy this one :) Best, MJ

[@KillingTimeWithNorman]

I agree - I like that dial color! Super cool!

[@BeerandWatches]

Me too! Shame it's got to go back :( I love everything MAS watches have put out so far! Best, MJ

[@TheCcmarine]

They did this watch right man!! Drilled lugs 20 mm lug width great 3 link bracelet with 6 levels of micro adjustment and a sandwich dial screwed in 👑 and not too thick of a case!! Nice movement and price too!! I mean really obvious that Mathew and Son are watch guys who made a watch for watch enthusiasts! We are a hard group of people to please but MAS covered all their bases and then some!!

[@BeerandWatches]

#agreed 😊👍

[@fabiobpf2544]

I'm Fabio from Manaus - State of Amazonas - Brazil. Is there anything better than beer and watches? Of course not! As for the video, your channel is one of the few that make the removal of the caseback. If there is another channel that does that. I really appreciate this measure! It allows us to check the movement and things that I consider important such as the support of the machinery, whether it is metallic or plastic, which will influence its durability. Not that I prefer displaying the engine on a display. No. I like solid casebacks. They convey more robustness. Please continue with this part of the analysis! Excellent watch. Great value for the price.

[@BeerandWatches]

Hey Fabio nice to meet you and thanks for the message. I am sorry it took me a while to reply to you. I totally agree, beer and watches, two of the best things in the world :) I am glad you enjoy me taking the casebook off and talking about the movement, I think that part is so important. Best to you and thank you for supporting my channel. MJ

[@phillipedwards420]

Yep! Love what MAS are doing as well. This dial option is definitely the one for me…

[@BeerandWatches]

Hey Phillip, I really dig all watches that MAS put out. Have you seen their Irukandji dive watch? I did a review on the purple one with the crown at 10. It's super nice :) Best, MJ

Hi Mat, great review and great tiker too ! I ordered a blue Irukandji from the other side of this world and I´m already excited to get this little stinger on my wrist. As this is a bit of an older video I hope your U.S. visit has turned out lovely.

Hey thanks Peter, sorry it took me a while to get back to you. US trip went well, I actually appeared on America's Got Talent :) It aired already. If you search Matt Johnson AGT on KZbin you can watch my act :) Did you get your blue Irukandji yet? Did you go for the crown at 4 or 10?
