Tandorio California Dial Homage full review

[@stephenhuber1079]

Yes, that dial color and tan strap looks fantastic! I also like the layered look of the cutouts.

[@AlexanderB.]

It's an interesting design. The fact that it combines different design cues from Panerai watches makes it an homage rather than a copy. The brown fumee dial works well with the hands, they seem to be painted blue but it's nicely done. I like it.

[@timescribe1607]

Not a fan of these kinds of cases but it doesn't look too bad here. The dial looks really cool though. A nice colour and the depth with those cut-outs, it's nice!

I really like the dial on this watch! Great review. 👍

[@EscapeWheel]

pretty awesome dial for sure.

[@WatchWitt]

Whoooo! Love that fumé California dial! Everything looks crisp and well worth $100. Strike for ghost date position on the crown…NH38 would have been better, but then the missed opportunity of spectacular lume on this sandwich dial is kind of the deal breaker for me. It looks awesome, though! Thanks for sharing.

[@EscapeWheel]

Yeah, man, with some killer lume it would be awesome.

[@WatchWitt]

@@EscapeWheel Really like the looks and clean/sterile dial. I could probably be persuaded easily! It’s a looker!

[@stavros_katsopr]

For the price, if you like the style and can handle the size, it's more than ok. Cheers Steve.

Very nice review, thanks:) I recently bought this same watch:) But I opted the PT5000 movement which is awesome i think. Very very accurate (around +2 sec/day) and hi beat (28800) movement. I like the dial, the color, the case.. The strap is different than yours, i guess a little better. Maybe it's just me but the hour hand is a little too thick? What do you think? The watch still looks very very nice..

[@EscapeWheel]

I think the hands were great, I like big, bold hands, though. Enjoy the watch!

[@ahmeto.513]

I think you are right.. The more I use it, the more I like it:) Thanks for your reply

[@jamessaund]

Man if they made this with a standard sandwich black dial in matte or sunburst I’d be all over this. How do I get in touch with the company directly Steve?

[@EscapeWheel]

Best bet is to try the stores chat function.

[@shukhamid3682]

The dial is nice, love the blue hand but the strap its come with seem to make the watch look a bit cheap.

[@EscapeWheel]

Haha, it is cheap 😂. But yeah, a new strap would go a long way

[@Dylboz]

If they're using the NH35, they should put a 6 o'clock date window on it!

[@EscapeWheel]

I actually think they upgraded to the NH38 now

[@szilarddietzel9071]

Why add a date window? The dial is cool as is, date would make it look cluttered.

[@Dylboz]

@@szilarddietzel9071 if the guts are there already, then it's just a design challenge, not a technical one. I think a color-matched date at 6 o'clock would look great and add a valuable feature. To each their own, I guess!

[@adnanalgin]

Brown or light tan? What color is this watch?

[@EscapeWheel]

I guess I'd lump it into brown. But the fume dial could put it in both categories. Video represents it well IMO

[@drebarthelotte5712]

That is where the issues are. Not acceptable lume. Other than the colour of the dial. You can get a green dial steeldive with similar specs and awsome lume😎. Regardless of what the watch is homaging. It needs to stand on its own. Fake blue hands and crap lume. Steeldive gets my money everytime. Watch geeks that enjoy flavor in a watch.

[@EscapeWheel]

I was tempted by the steeldive, but have green watches already. Wish they still sold it with other dial colors

[@don-k-hotey9532]

pan radiomir "1940" homage

[@EscapeWheel]

thanks for the heads up!

[@nickcheema907]

Fake Panerai's......ok
