This microbrand does something few others do - Heron Marinor Ghost

[@DouglasFerling]

This is one of the best looking watches I've seen at any price, and I love the no-branding on a watch that doesn't exactly have any provenance. Although influenced by early dive watches, the ghost dial and bezel gives the watch a more graphic, modern vibe. Ordered! 😀

[@EscapeWheel]

@@DouglasFerling that's awesome! You'll love it!

[@travism3510]

How do you like it

[@ThatHillbillyCletus]

Ordered the other colorway. I don't need a name or logo on the dial to know what I'm wearing but I guess some folks do 🤷‍♂️

[@EscapeWheel]

nice! enjoy it!

How do you like it

[@adk7962]

The Heron is cool, but I’m not sure I would pay more for a limited version. And I’m more interested in that Armitron! 👍🏼

[@EscapeWheel]

@@adk7962 the limited one is actually CHEAPER! surprisingly.

[@adk7962]

@@EscapeWheel Damn it. That’s what I get for opening my big mouth! 😅

[@ccr6042]

Thx for the review. A sterile rotating bezel is (almost) useless 🙂

[@PINKFL0YD-s2h]

It's very useful

[@DouglasFerling]

Not at all. You can always just use the markers on the dial for reference, if you need something more granular.

[@modulo3664]

Should the price gap between NH and Miyota 9000 movements be this large? $600 is already in Swiss territory...

[@EscapeWheel]

just looking at other microbrands using the 9000 series, there are quite a few in the $500-$700 range and higher. Lorier, Helson, Borealis, Wise, Clemence, Zelos, etc. and only a few of those offer the hardened coating. I think it's pretty average value. I'm not sure what the NH35 has to do with anything here.

[@fortisfortunaadiuvat1071]

It is not. 500-600 range is usual range for miyota 90xx series with bracelet and on fly adjustment

[@wermissam1239]

Miyota > Swiss on durability on this pricerange

[@jaredstephenson6468]

They almost nailed it. I love the ghost look but they should've included their graphic logo or the name, either one but not both. The no-logo thing ends up resulting in dozens of Chinese watches a la Serica.

[@DouglasFerling]

Why does being able to copy it matter? The ghost dial looks great.

[@jaredstephenson6468]

@@DouglasFerling because that sucks. These people have worked hard to create a fantastic design and the work gets reduced to a copy? A cheap knock off? That really sucks.

[@DouglasFerling]

@@jaredstephenson6468 Oh, that I agree with. I’m just saying that it wouldn’t keep me from buying the watch.

[@jaredstephenson6468]

@@DouglasFerling nor me. Did I say it would? I don't think anyone said that.

[@DouglasFerling]

@@jaredstephenson6468 Yeah, several in the comments said it looks cheap without a logo, but my mistake.

[@scubaru100]

Serica also doesn't have a logo. It ended up biting them in the Chinese homage ass. #ixdao

[@EscapeWheel]

it says it on the dial.....veeeeeerrrryy tiny, but it's there...lol and yes it did. love my 5303 diver.

[@Jason-hv4eu]

Good video and review! However, I am not impressed with this watch. The price is too high. Especially, when you consider what has been excluded.

[@EscapeWheel]

@@Jason-hv4eu excluded? It's a pretty stacked watch from what I've seen.

[@patrickkelly1070]

Someone's trying to convince us we should pay more for less.

[@EscapeWheel]

@@patrickkelly1070 the only "less- you get here is less branding. Steel,sapphire, on the fly clasp, Miyota 9000, steel hardening, quick release bracelet...it's a stacked watch

[@patrickkelly1070]

@@EscapeWheel a Miyota 9000 movement doesn't stack anything. And I can get all those other features in less expensive offerings.

[@EscapeWheel]

@@patrickkelly1070 like?

[@DouglasFerling]

@@EscapeWheelYeah, not only in features, but in design, which is impossible to put a price on.

[@PINKFL0YD-s2h]

Meh. Don't like the fauxtina or the lack of a name or logo on the screen. It looks like a 30 dollar watch

[@onewatchjustisntenough]

Agreed

[@sharpe8888]

Fortunately there's options

[@karolwicik3888]

it looks like cheap aliexpress mod or 60$ Tandorio
