I’ve got the green one. I’d disagree somewhat about the bracelet. Yes the clasp is bad and hangs down a bit if you use the innermost adjustment hole. However the bracelet is articulated such that it maintains a certain rigidity when worn and this supports and centralises the watch very well. Secondly, it’s very easy to remove the links with a drawing pin to push out the flat connectors. Lastly, it’s not a hair nipper, although it does look as if it should be.
@@Rick-ve5lx hey Rick thanks bud and welcome to the channel 😎👍 good to hear some positive feedback on the bracelet as i think I'm a bit too harsh on them sometimes 😅
I love that these 2 colors are selling out and is marked up so high. Meanwhile the non hyped colors of the 1302D are fully stocked and can be had for 30 dollars!
The green dial looks quite nice with than sunburst effect, doesn't it? If Casio makes an upgraded version as part of the Edifice collection with much better build quality it'd be amazing.
I would go with the green. And I would change, using a leather strap. As you said, a brown strap with this green seems to be beautiful. The only sin for this watch is the case material.
Can't really go wrong at the price if you don't mind a quartz movement... They are good dress watches for occasional wear such as holidays ect.. Have you seen the Tissot Seastar 1000 Gmt.? .. It would make a nice review if you could get your hands on one
I'd take the white dial/ gilt hands (NOT two tone bracelet, plain one), every day, easily. No tiffany, no Brit (green😋), no black or other, but there's a hint... I'd love the (eastern?) Arabic numerals too. Trying to get that in Greece, no luck, but i'll insist and get it at the end! Cheers Duncan, be well mate.
@@thetimebombardier Viva Old Albion! 😋 Here you are sir: MTP-1302D-7B3, MTP-1302D-1B3 (white and black... or is it Black&White? as the whiskey??? 😂). Comes in leather band too, but no gilt hands unfortunately.
Can you explain to me the different codes this specific watch has? I'm seeing different reference numbers such as: MTP-1302D MTP-1302PD-3AVEF MTP1302D-3A and some sites claim the watch is 38mm, 40mm or more, but the watches look the same, whats the difference between these reference numbers? Thanks!
Hey Rusty thanks bud and i'm pretty sure the D is the non euro and the PD is the euro version, but i could be wrong as casio do like to keep ys guessing... the last set of digits refers the dial colours and mine were defo 40 mils 😎👍
@@american236 Chrome plating seems to work well for bearings and hydraulic stuff. It’s very hard-wearing. Why is a brass case “crap” if it’s plated with chrome?
Don’t get this watch. Too small, fluted bezel, brass case. Would buy if it were 41 or 42 and had a stainless steel case. And not in that blue, thanks. I’ll keep my other Casios analogs and digitals😂😂😂
Yeah, if you like the look and can find one, the Casio Sapphire watches are a great deal with a sapphire crystal, a stainless steel case and 50m of watery goodness that certainly didn't leak and gave me more than enough goodness when I left it in a bucket of water. That watery goodness will probably be more than fine for a swim, given that it's a Casio.

sorry dude thought I'd answered you on here already, yeah good call as if they added it to edifice it might get a better bracelet etc :)

Cheers Diel and welcome to the channel 😎 yup this green goes very pleasantly 👍😎

Hey Paul thanks bud and yes the tissot 1000 has been on the list for a while 😅😅 i kinda like the pvd version, hadn't seen the gmt one tho,

Morning Duncan
Gdday dude!! ☕️☕️
That bracelet is very noisy lol
It's plain awful 😅😅 but they put all the money into the dials and thought meh about everthing else 🤪👍
@@thetimebombardier definitely I'm with you that Tiffany baby blue is just not for me I just I've never liked that f****** color 🤣🤣🤣
@@mr.eswatchreviews a man a fine taste 😜
Brass is crap.
fair point :)
