Just arrived - Phoibos Great Wall

Post by stonehead887 » Mon Jun 24, 2019 11:41 am

...and it's awesome! So, after having previously panned the name Phoibos I decided to buy the Great Wall. And I am so glad I did, this is an amazing value watch. $500 + shipping, I haven't paid taxes after challenging FedEx extortionate fees.
Anyway, it's got an ETA 2824, sapphire crystal and bezel, HE valve and 500m rated.
Some quick pics now, will try to do a bit more of a review later.
Enjoy ImageImageImageImage

Holy cow, can see that it is amazing Jeremy ! :excited: Kind of has a Blancpain feel to it
with the bezel at first glance with the neat insert. But then totally changes gears,
and has an almost Seiko-like sawtooth edge there. Nice ! :clap: Even the dial markers,
and hands think outside the box, and how about the brick pattern?!

This one is impressive inside, and out really. ..Big congratulations there !!!

Cheers Tom,
There really is a lot of detail here. The case has really steep curved lugs making it super wearable.
Looking forward to giving it a proper wear this weekend

It really is a lot of watch for $500. Not for everyone because of that dial design but it is the best watch they have put out yet in my opinion.

Cool watch. And it's nice that they made a custom rubber strap for it. :thumbsup:
