Van Banner (Adroit | VBAD211) | Is This As SKILFULLY Created As It PROMISES? A STRIKING Looking GMT!

[@adk7962]

They make terrific watches. There’s a reason they sell out all the time. Thanks for the great review.

[@WatchtheTime]

They sure do mate and people that know about Van Banner know just how good they are and that their watches are working every penny/cent 👍👍

[@WatchWitt]

Definitely my favorite microbrand as well. The number of pieces VanBanner has put out, the quality and uniqueness, and of course the value are all top notch! I’m diggin’ this GMT…I have the black dial as well.

[@WatchtheTime]

Great minds mate. I just love their designs and the fact that they do things their own way, and very well done at that. Thanks for watching and I hope you’re well 👍👍

[@mattys1467]

Bit of a Squale homage, but I truly admire when brands such as this deliver a watch with all the elements described for such a relatively low price. They deliver a decent watch for the money.

[@WatchtheTime]

They sure do mate. Am always left very impressed with their watches tbh 👍👍

[@AlexanderB.]

It's a great watch with a toolish and masculine design, I like it. The colour accents look magenta red to me and they go well with the black. Well spotted how the GMT hand is designed to remain visible while the second hand is crossing. There just one real downside to me, scratches on a bead blasted finish are almost impossible to conceal or rework, which can be done on a brushed surface.

[@WatchtheTime]

It sure does have that type of aesthetic and I do take your point about buffing out scratches but, I really like the polished surface again the bead blast finishing, it really pops 👍👍

[@martinkavanagh196]

Yeah I really like this .. both 'Head' & Bracelet - but I don't care for butterfly clasps. Great face with high "vis".

[@ScoobieDoobie197474]

Strap monster

[@WatchtheTime]

I get that mate and I can’t say I’m a fan of butterfly clasps either but for this watch, I’ll take it + I’ve got quite a few straps that it would look great on too given it’s a strap monster 👍👍

[@MirrlyonTime]

Another great review and I do agree about the bezel though I didn’t mention that in my review, it is a little stiff but on the other hand once you set it you know darn well it’s going to remain there. Vanbanner is killin it great watches!

[@WatchtheTime]

It certainly isn’t moving and yes, LV and VB are doing some excellent stuff and I can see them going from strength to strength 👍👍

[@edwardsjohnpaul]

Great video! It seems personal taste is going to dictate a lot here, though there's a nice "reviewer overlap" from other videos I've seen. The bezel action seems suspect, and I agree about the writing on the case, I don't like it. Personally I dislike the pink/red lume on the bezel. What I very much don't like is the butterfly clasp (lack of adjustment), a bummer since I like the bracelet link design. One last negative for me is the push-pull crown, I'd prefer a screw-down. Positives would be the case and dial, love the texture and dial layout (reminds a bit of Squale). This watch has a lot going for it, so certainly deserves attention if you're after a sporty GMT.

[@WatchtheTime]

I haven’t seen any other reviews mate but it’s good to hear that we’ve mentioned similar things. For me, it’s a very, very good watch and has pride of place in my personal collection now. Thanks for watching man 👍👍

[@albyz7321]

nice watch and fair price, too bad that for Italy you have to add VAT, and it's a nice price increase:(

[@WatchtheTime]

I hear you mate as we get crushed by some watches on Import but then again some we don’t, it’s luck of the draw in the UK 👍👍

[@BRZDR]

Just ordered mine. I have the PM2.0, can't for him to release new watches, hopefully he has something planned for this year. I plan on taking it on a road trip this year, I was worried the GMT ring might be too lose so I'm actually glad to hear that the bezel is secure. I imagine it will loosen up over time and after some use. Thanks for the video

[@WatchtheTime]

You’ll love it mate. It’s an absolutely lovely watch with many, many cool features. Van Banner are one of my favourite brands - enjoy 👍👍

[@scatterbrain9490]

[@CanadianBeachcomber]

Ultimately, the neon red colour stopped me from making a purchase.

[@WatchtheTime]

No problem mate, I understand and as ever, I appreciate your honesty 👍👍
