Having mentioned how good my JS9 was 2 years ago? It's given me nothing but trouble since. Think twice about buying one, maybe I got a Friday afternoon one...
Except for the bracelet and crown issues, this is a very nice watch. I love the back on this. Something like that engraving is much better than a display back any day! I think the price is a little high for the quality control issues, but worth it if they can correct them. Great video!
Great review. It seems very expensive for what you get. For that price, you would really have to like this. Butterfly clasps look nice but the biggest problem with them is they usually don’t have a micro-adjust, so it’s either going to be too small or slightly too loose.
I know this brand and I have never seen them produce such a shoddy bracelet. As for the crown, total deal breaker. With regard to the butterfly clasp, I have several such bracelets. You are the only person I know of who can't close the clasp. How many times must I teach you?)))) I think you are just being stubborn. I am sure that Mav would have no problems)))) Bests!
Thanks for the review. For that price range it is an excellent watch, although quite unknown thus not really selling well. I am tired of blue watches, why on Earth nobody makes any other colours like blue, black and silver... I think the overall quality is super with exception of the crown which is total miss, and the hands which I don't like. The clasp and the buckle are excellent. You don't get that kind of clasp often, where the upper part when closed, evens the bracelet itself. In my opinion is just fantastic. The first link gets loose within some time, no big deal. Many of the watches have the first one very tight so the watch sits better on the wrist.
I just watched another video reviewing this watch. This guy had no problems with the bracelet or the crown. You obviously received a bad model. However, that is a deal breaker. Swiss manufacturers sell quality and that they are a step above the rest. Your watch getting passed quality control is inexcusable.
Great video. Just picked one up for $600 in black brand new!!Nice “beater” but actually appreciate the workmanship Armand Nicolet put in. Wasn’t sure about the hands but like them. Lume is not the best but overall quality on the par with “big boys”. Feels like big seadweller and till I can walk into a dealership and get one this will. Clicks on the bezel are very good and satisfying.
Adding a butterfly clasp on a 300M diver is stupid decision imho.Absolutely break deal for me.I had a very bad experience with such a clasp on my Longines Conquest

Get a Monta Ocean King or an Oris Aquis maybe. Cant think of any good reason to buy this thing
Thnak you for your full review. I appreciate your honesty and frankness about the crown and the bracelet, very eye opening. Great job!
Glad it was helpful!
Design wise it's nice, but the crown, bracelet, and price are a no go.
I've had one for 15 months now and had no problem with the crown or bracelet.

I don't want to be taught and will always hate butterfly clasps :)
@@maverickwatchreviews, LMAO! By the way, the type of clasp you is as dated by many luxury manufacturers. I am curious to see what's new)))
Did u contact them about the crown and bracelet if so what did they say
I did and am sending it back.
nice watch but for price id want a better braclet and that crown looks iffy.. cheers

Yeah, it's very unfortunate. It's being sent back.
I bet with time the bracelet loosens up
What anyone would buy a Rolex is beyond me.
Over priced
Agreed.
Brian Gbur what would you recommend please?
Maverick Watch Reviews Is the Oris Aquis a better deal?
Compared to Seiko junk they are a pretty good deal.
