@@metalmike105 , interesting take on the design. What’s even more interesting is that I was drawn to this one in great part because of the bezel! 😄 Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching.

Hi@@lajostresser482, The visible dial size is 51 mm i.e. I’m including the crown and measuring on the horizontal axis going through the middle of the dial. If you look at the vertical axis, the portions that are still part of the watch is 55 mm (I’m including the sections that stick out to attach the strap at noon and at 6 o’clock). In addition, if you want more detail, the blue portion of the “inner” bezel where it’s indicated “G-Shock” at the top and “Shock Resist” at the bottom, it’s 43.5 mm. I hope this helps. If I’m not clear in my description above, simply let me know. Thanks for your interest, your comment and most of all, thanks for watching! 😎👍🏼

@@meNewYorkGiants1Fan thanks for your comment and thanks for watching 🙂👍🏼

@@hertz4011 Thanks 😎👍🏼

@@brandondo3180 … I feel your pain 😔 There will come out with even better watches, I’m sure of that.

@@silentaction , generous indeed! 😉

Hi@@torgomax, The Seiko SARG009 and this Ballista A-5S are completely different watches and will greatly depend on what you intend on doing with the one you will choose. The Seiko seems to be more versatile and will be a nice daily wear type of watch that will fit at a dinner with friends and a casual stroll in the park at just over 40mm diameter. In addition, the 6R automatic movement typically has a Diashock-type protection to it but will never be as tough as a quartz movement like the one in the Bertucci. The Bertucci A-5S is a larger watch at 44mm and wears large as well and is much heavier too. It has a rugged look-n-feel to it that may not fit a casual wear while you’re out at dinner with friends. It’s truly a field watch you’d wear while you’re going hiking or doing yard work or renovating your basement. But, that’s just MY two cents worth. It’s your money and I think you will love whichever watch you decide to acquire … depending on availability too. All depends on your budget as well. The Ballista is readily available on the Bertucci website at $577 USD but you’d have to find a reliable source to get the Seiko SARG009. On eBay, it’s closer to $800 USD. I hope this helps you make a choice. Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching!

@timetowatch_francois I own a Seiko Sarg 009,bought it almost 10 years ago on Amazon for $400. I have decided that the Balista is too large for my wrist. I have decided to go with the Super Yankee A4T. Out of stock at the moment.👍

@ , very good choice 🙂👍🏼

Great choice! A nice gift from you to you! 😅

@@MrSardonycus I agree that orange is great … myself, I’d get the Trident “Lumière” with the orange dial and a nice bright orange strap on top of that! Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching.

Hi@@MrSardonycus, I see what you mean. The Valour is now “new and improved” and has a great value nonetheless. However, I feel that a true field watch should provide true peace of mind and a Quartz movement provides that. In addition, the fact that it’s solar, adds to its perfect Field Watch status. The one major difference that play in favour for the Valour is the screwed down crown. The one major thing that plays against the Valour (and it’s important to me) is the NH35 automatic movement that may be knocked “out of wack” when it undergoes rough treatment and shock. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and thanks for watching 😄👍🏼

@@wongjefx980, I totally agree. Since the Pandemic, field watches and casual wear are my « go-to » types of watches and can’t get enough of them! Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching 🙂👍🏼

@@steven3379, thanks for sharing. I understand that your field watch style is covered, but in my case, I never seem to have enough! 😉 Thanks for watching 🙂👍🏼

@@Mistahpoop, at 6.5 inches, I feel it’s very “limit” but if you like larger watches, and want to “rock it”, I’d say, go for it! It’s not an inexpensive watch however so, you should be sure of your choice. Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching!

I totally agree. Shortly, I’ll be showcasing the ease of changing straps also. It adds to its tool-watch like features. Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching!

@@timetowatch_francois nice. i show off that feature in my video too. very easy. coincidentally I just swapped out the OEM bracelet with a classic 3-piece bracelet👌👌

@@christophecolin7175, je suis totalement en accord avec toi. De plus, G-Shock semble écouter ces types de commentaires car, de plus en plus, ce bouton, sur les autres modèle, n’est plus si difficile et est au même « niveau » que les autres (ex: M-5610U ou la GMW-B5000). Merci du commentaire et merci d’avoir visionné! Passe des belles fêtes de fin d’année!

@@timetowatch_francoisJe leur conseillerai de faire un double clic sur le même bouton pour remettre le chronomètre à 0 que pour l'allumer du même style que chez olight c'est intuitif ça fonctionne bien.franchement moi j'arrive pas à appuyer sur ce bouton à main nue

LOL! Love that I’m not alone brother! Thanks for the support! 😄👍🏼

Hi again @@briansaiditsoitmustbetrue4206, it’s sad that we now have to « hide » our watches for fear of getting mugged 😒 And this one is growing on me. I appreciate you mentioning that you go swimming with the F-91W b/c it confirms what I hear and, next Summer, I may put it through its paces 😁👍🏼 Thanks for your comments and for watching my videos! I may not have the collection of Casio watches you have but I can appreciate your willingness to collect them. Happy Holidays! 🎁🎄🎁

Hey @@briansaiditsoitmustbetrue4206, you don’t even have to stick your neck out too far; you’re absolutely right about that! Not only does it go with everything, it’s a « peace of mind » type of watch with no worries about damaging it, mostly because it’s built tough but also of its low price, at £53 GBP! I totally agree 🙂👍🏼 Thanks for your comment (again)! 😊

@@briansaiditsoitmustbetrue4206 … thanks for sharing. This may sound « corny » but I wore this watch all day today! Your comment is timely!! Thanks for watching.

@@timetowatch_francois I have got my DW5600FF on my wrist as I type.

Hi @@WastingTime1878, I know what you mean. But, I must say that this one is one of the best performing reviews on my channel. I suspect that, like me, many simply love the design. On top of it, it’s not expensive and it’s accurate (like a quartz can be). Thanks for sharing your thoughts and thanks for watching.

@@AlainleCook6 Merci tu partages 😃👍🏼 Deux beaux modèles mais, particulièrement la « Promaster Navihawk »! Bravo pour ces belles acquisitions! 😍

@@junwoojang2941 I agree, black is a classic and has a much better contrast. My wife just fell in love with the cream one … go figure. Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching.

Thanks for your comment @@Asefalexandernoorzai. The more I wear it, the more I like it. And, you can believe me or not but I’m actually wearing it on the rubber strap as I’m typing up this comment! Thanks for taking the time to comment and look for my review in the next couple of weeks. I have a few Casio Watches I want to showcase and this one is next in line.

Hi @@blakem876, for a 6 inch wrist, the 42 version is pushing it a little in my opinion. But I do understand you wanting the Morse version. Also keep in mind that Hamilton watches typically have longer lugs. In this case, the Lug-2-Lug is just a little over 52 mm 🫢 Thanks for your comment and good luck in your search.

Hey @@jonirwin7316, I hear ya 😏 This one’s not for everyone. Thanks for sharing your thoughts … you made it very clear 😆

La roulette c'est un disque de date

L'attache c'est une boucle papillon

La maille c'est le maillon

Le dos c'est le fond de boite

Allo @@musselmarc ! Super content que tu aies découvert cette marque. Et la Northport grise était à un prix exceptionnel! Bravo pour l’acquisition! 😄

Hi @@Watch_disciple, I kind of see what you mean but, if you go to their website, you’ll see that the white dial showcases the dial much better. I hesitated between the white and the black but “legibility” won me over. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and thanks for watching.

@timetowatch_francois ok. I will look. I am still not sure until I see this piece with my own eyes and try it on. At the moment I would probably still buy it as it does look like a solid piece .

Also those gaps and crevices are a great place for dirt and crap to build up.

You are totally spot on with that @@Watch_disciple … dirt “black hole” for sure!

Allo@@anataveanatave1218 , c’est vrai que ce n’est pas pour tout le monde ce style de montre. Merci de partager ton opinion et merci d’avoir écouté.

Hi Mike, I see what you mean by “Copy Cat”. The Look-n-Feel is very similar but I feel they added a few Islander-like design elements. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and thanks for watching. IMHO, in this industry, as you must already know, many of the watch designs are inspired by other watches. Take the very first Rangemaster, it’s a cross between a Tudor and a Rolex and that’s b/c it’s a design that works and people like it. I wasn’t aware of “Linde Werdelin” before you mentioned it and, in the case of the “RM II”, it is a very different design from all my other watches … and it’s 20 times less costly 😉 Thanks again for your comment.

Couldn't agree more.

@@timetowatch_francois this is your watch design??

@, Hi , this is not my watch design. I acquire the watch same as all the other customers. I think both Marc and Tristano put together an interesting watch. I liked the black dial best b/c of its legibility but I think the white dial showcases the dial better.

Allo @@L_ArtDesChoix, Merci pour les bons mots et pour avoir visionné la vidéo. À bientôt!

Hey @@flemmingsorensen5470, you got that right! “Super Cool” is its middle name 😉 Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching!

Hi @@howardlo65, that’s an awesome return on your investment, right there! Love this type of story. Thanks for sharing.

Polished stainless steel

@@howardlo65 … interesting! I didn’t know it would have come out that nice! I wore this watch today as a matter of fact and my son loves it. I figure if, like you, it stays with me as long, he may get to wear it for himself. Thanks for sharing your insight.

Salut @@patricklavoie3939! Merci! Effectivement, elle est tellement belle que j’ai de la misère à la retirer de mon poignet pour en mettre une autre! 😆👍🏼

@@sixty5mustang289 “lucky” is the appropriate word, that’s for sure!! 😄👍🏼 Thanks for sharing.

@@gizmomac1520 … I like the “yay” at the end 😂

Hi, @@SurprisedComputerChip-ur3tq, I have more G-Shock watches than I want to admit … I hear you brother! Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching.

Allo Frédéric! Absolument! Je suis certains que les Grands Noms les gardent à l’œil. Merci pour ton commentaire et merci d’avoir visionné. J’espère que tout va bien par chez vous et que les J.O. n’ont pas trop ébranlé ton quotidien. À bientôt.

@timetowatch_francois non, moi j'habite la Côte d'Azur, j'ai regardé à la télé, c'était magnifique.

Hi @@zeechris9220, that’s an interesting take b/c a larger bezel would be more functional for timing stuff & dive times, you got that right. But I see this one more as a « desk diver » and I like to see more of the dial for increased legibility. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and thanks for watching! 😃👍🏼

Hi @@albanpocesta9345, yes, my JDM version (JF) can show ºC or ºF. In the temperature mode, simply unscrew the crown, pull out one position, push the « mode » button to select the degrees and then turn the crown to toggle between the two. I hope this helps. Thanks for your question and thanks for watching.

@@timetowatch_francois thank you. I appreciate it
