just now i received my reef master steel case, it’s really amazing at 200$ !! one, love the polished and brushed line on the lug. its very aesthetic and original. two, love the seamless transition from the shiny ceramic bezel to the domed sapphire crystal. they form almost a single integral structure. the gloss and angle match with each other in perfect precision. three, love the lumes on the bezel and dial. they’re absolute killer. crazy. you will only love it.
I own my grandfathers watch, a early 1960's Jules Jurgensen hand wind watch. Beautiful Gents watch in 14K or 18K gold. I've seen them on the gray market, if you have the original boxes(which I do), they can go upwards of a 1000 bucks. An absolutely gorgeous dress watch.
Probably not an accident, they RIP off designs from existing watches, even ripping off part of the name. Where they di their own thing, they come up with monstrosities like the great wall
Are these Phoibos watches only available through their website or can they be found elsewhere? Legitimately want one and the price for this Reef Master isn’t bad.
Jory, love your channel. Since you love the SKX I think you need to check out the NATO Diver by Deep Blue Watches. It is an SKX homage with a sapphire crystal, Seiko NH36 (4R36) movement, Signed crown, 300M dive rating and a wearable 44mm. I own all the SKXs from the 007, 009 and 013 I love the NATO Diver from DeepBlue Watches.
I prefer the 6 o'clock date location on my Wavemaster. I would like to see the sandwich dial with thicker (bigger cutouts) indices. Most of my NH35a's are quite slow. How much extra would it cost to offer a regulated movement?
I knew it would be one you liked. I don't own one but it is on the list. I have an homage they make to the submariner, but the Reef Master is a very nice look on the wrist.
Again with the weird date window. I can’t say I like slimming the window down and then making the date panel black. The hands contrasting the dial are a nice touch, but we’re going to take Away some points for no crown guard.
Lotta Phoibos vids lately. You should check out Helm Watches too. They are really starting to make a name for themselves. Liked as always. Cool haircut btw.
U know jori, I have been a follower of yours from day 1...and I have never been able to put my finger on the main reason why your channel is so awesome....but it came to me...unlike my comment here, your videos are fairly short...short ,sweet, and to the point...keep em coming, and greatjo buddy!!!
great video, looks like a really cool watch at a great price. looking forwards to next review, could you let us know how precise it is? it drives me crazy to buy a beautiful watch and then it loses or gains a lot of time.
Just received an orange one Super nice. Seems a lot more expensive than price paid. I'm happy. Better than my Martec. It's a original design not another Rolex clone. green lume
This is a beautiful watch in real life. I sold mine to fund the upcoming purchase of the Phoibos Eagle Ray. I loved the Ref Master, but something had to go.
You mentioned the word “subdued.” I was hoping you said “Sub Dude.” Was hoping it was a combined response to the Glycine Combat Sub and the Vostok Scuba Dude.
Picked up one. Really nice for the money. Too shiney for my taste and runs 10-15 fast. But for $229, a hell of a lot of watch. Couldn’t pass up on a Cthulhu watch.
I like the dial and bezel, but I don’t like the fact that the case and lugs look like a knockoff of the classic Omega case used for the Speedmaster and Seamaster.
Another brilliant unboxing Jory, I personally had never heard of Phoibos until you brought them to my attention, love discovering new watch brands and what they have to offer. Also would like to hear your opinions regarding models from the Seiko Recraft series. They are slowly becoming very popular and you being a Seiko fan I'd love to hear your thoughts. Keep it up Jory, great review 👍
If you're looking for a solid microbrand with sapphire crystal, 300m water resistance and a Seiko NH35 movement check out the Helm Vanuatu. The price is about the same and it is very impressive...
Just baught a Islander "skx" (basically a modded Seiko skx with modern Seiko 5 movement, sapphire crystal, ceramic lume bezel and no misalignment) and this reef master. Yeah when you see the price asked for prosplex and Seiko 5, it looks overpriced. Planned to offer a Seiko 5 for Christmas to my father, it's gonna be an Islander.
Another great video... even if I am late to the party. Maybe I need a new watch... LOL. I prefer the Ocean Master to the Reef Master's overall look. I like the matte black but overall the watch left me unimpressed overall.Keep up the great work!!
The finish is really better on the reef master or at least you have much lesser chance to get a misaligned bezel and poor accuracy (30 sec or more per day).
Not horrid... Unique! Very well designed. Not a copy or homage of anything else. I respect that you don't like it, but to any people I've met in person, it gets nothing but love. Peace!

I'm pretty sure the logo is just a straight up octopus. But it's fun to think of it as Cthulu!
Justin M. Hail the old ones
Hail Hydra
Ok ok... I just ordered one. The loom shot of this particular model with the mix of blue and green lume was the detail that pushed me over the edge.
I like that the date wheel is black to match the dial with white printed numbers. I wish more watches would do that.
The watch does look very nice on first sight. The case is some kind of Omega style if I'm not wrong.
Its more of a homage to a citizen fugu diver.
Phoibos is always a good price value option. The Sub homages I have are quartz and automatic with outstanding built quality.
Ocean master looks a little bit too “citizen pro master “ for me but the Phoibos watches do seem nice

The Phoibos looks nice on your wrist.
Last time i was this early, the alpinist was still in production
:(
This thing replaced my SKX. It fixed all the "problems" the SKX was plagued with. I am probably going to pick up a second one in the black and orange.
finally a phoibos reef review. it's a good looking watch, much more upgraded than the wave master.
The Ocean Master looks similar to a Promaster by Citizen.
Probably not an accident, they RIP off designs from existing watches, even ripping off part of the name. Where they di their own thing, they come up with monstrosities like the great wall
Are these Phoibos watches only available through their website or can they be found elsewhere? Legitimately want one and the price for this Reef Master isn’t bad.
Do you think that an 6,75 inches wrist could fit on this 42mm?
Jory, love your channel. Since you love the SKX I think you need to check out the NATO Diver by Deep Blue Watches. It is an SKX homage with a sapphire crystal, Seiko NH36 (4R36) movement, Signed crown, 300M dive rating and a wearable 44mm. I own all the SKXs from the 007, 009 and 013 I love the NATO Diver from DeepBlue Watches.
yeah, funny to see a homage cost more than the original though lol
I would like to see a comparison video on this channel. I have both myself as well. Of course, this is always a controversial debate.
Deep Blue seems to run a perpetual 40% off coupon if you're interested. That makes the Nato Diver $150.
which makes it the price of the skx but 2 years ago. maybe.
Interesting. If I want an SKX J with safire I have to pay at least 265 Euro's in Europe.
Does it come in different dial colors?

Great first look. Interesting watch. Can’t wait for the 3 week look

Can't get a helm for love nor money
@@con81rad Gotta sign up for their newsletter for updates and pounce on one before they're gone. The demand is crazy.
Do you wear this on a regular basis? Do you still have it or did you sell it?

what's your take and Squale?
Ooooh, this one hits my tender spots in all the right ways! Thanks for the review
great video, looks like a really cool watch at a great price. looking forwards to next review, could you let us know how precise it is? it drives me crazy to buy a beautiful watch and then it loses or gains a lot of time.
On Phoibos web site $239 great deal for this watch.👍
Just received an orange one
Super nice. Seems a lot more expensive than price paid. I'm happy. Better than my Martec.
It's a original design not another Rolex clone. green lume
That black watch looks good on you , brother .
Welcome to the Phoibos brotherhood my friend...Enjoy!
This is a beautiful watch in real life. I sold mine to fund the upcoming purchase of the Phoibos Eagle Ray. I loved the Ref Master, but something had to go.
You mentioned the word “subdued.” I was hoping you said “Sub Dude.” Was hoping it was a combined response to the Glycine Combat Sub and the Vostok Scuba Dude.
Always enjoy your channel, reviews and unboxing videos. Thanks, Jory.
Not big on the dial. The wave master on the other hand....thats one beautiful watch. A bit more classy
I was recently looking at this exact same model last week, but needed to buy a new projector instead :(
Have you had any experience with original grain watches? I would love to hear your opinion on their watches
Did I miss the lume second ?
Picked up one. Really nice for the money. Too shiney for my taste and runs 10-15 fast. But for $229, a hell of a lot of watch. Couldn’t pass up on a Cthulhu watch.
Hey Jory, nice video.
I would like to know, whats your opinion on the SKX011?
Dude that G-shock looks TINY on you.
Next is the wave master....My personal favorite
But does it have atomic timekeeping?
Did u do a follow up video?
Just checked out their site, there's a blue one that looks very pelagos like with the matte blue and white.
I like the dial and bezel, but I don’t like the fact that the case and lugs look like a knockoff of the classic Omega case used for the Speedmaster and Seamaster.

Keep it up Jory, great review 👍
If you're looking for a solid microbrand with sapphire crystal, 300m water resistance and a Seiko NH35 movement check out the Helm Vanuatu. The price is about the same and it is very impressive...
And it's always SOLD OUT.
Not really into the sandwich dial but the logo is cool. Thanks for sharing Jory :)
Look at the watch on a right hand still make me feel something wrong :)) despite being a long time fan :)))
Did u follow up on this?
JORY, IMPRESSED
It's hard to see anyone being a Seiko lover when you see what you can get for the money from Phoibos.
Just baught a Islander "skx" (basically a modded Seiko skx with modern Seiko 5 movement, sapphire crystal, ceramic lume bezel and no misalignment) and this reef master.
Yeah when you see the price asked for prosplex and Seiko 5, it looks overpriced.
Planned to offer a Seiko 5 for Christmas to my father, it's gonna be an Islander.
Jory - really enjoy your videos informative and hilarious!
Wondering if you have plans on reviewing the Phoibus Wave Master?
Isn't it foibohs?
So if one were to really advocate this watch series would they be authentic "Reefers"?
Ouch...that was really bad...lol.
Awesome watch.... nice video.
Well done on the huge amount of subscribers! Keep up the content.
Another great video... even if I am late to the party. Maybe I need a new watch... LOL. I prefer the Ocean Master to the Reef Master's overall look. I like the matte black but overall the watch left me unimpressed overall.Keep up the great work!!
I like the Ocean Master much more.
The finish is really better on the reef master or at least you have much lesser chance to get a misaligned bezel and poor accuracy (30 sec or more per day).
You should review either the zelos swordfish or the helm khuraburi
Loving the look of that sea master man specially with that strap. #💜
Time will tell Jory Goodman you need gouda cheese in that sandwich
NH35A.. same movement on an Invicta pro diver.. 🤔
New great Wall watched are interesting
BRO!, I'm wearing the DW5600 too!
Doesn’t look like a watch who’s style will withstand the test of time
I prefer the other watch
Really love these watches.
Where is the follow-up video to this?
Yeah...Where's the part 2 video bro?
At 5:01, do you say "I zoomed out a bitch"? Hahaha
Who are you sleeping with to get all these cool watches!? I'm asking cause I want cool watches too.
Wheres the follow up review?
Wait did someone say Sandwitch? 😋
Mr. T3, get a lint roller
Got that same G-Shock! :)
Great commentary!
You're wearing the watch I'm currently wearing and unboxing a watch I have my eye on!
Unboxing AND GIVEAWAY!!! Please and thanks!!
Bond Villain watch.
I really like it!
For less money, I would recommend this over the SKX any day of the week.
Hail Hydra
Ha Ha another diver on a leather strap and another nh35. The 35 dollar movement as its known in some circles.
Phoibos and Blancpain
You get the strap wrong, every single time. Great vid though.
Get an original Gshock and then tell us which one is better!!!!
If you want to sell it I’ll buy it off you
Their ocean master is a ripoff of the citizen BN0150-28E.
Can’t take that logo serious
pass
first impression, this reminds me of the Blancpain Fifty-Fathoms
that rubber strap is awful
Numerals are horrid
Don’t know about horrid but I do agree that it could be better
Not horrid... Unique! Very well designed. Not a copy or homage of anything else. I respect that you don't like it, but to any people I've met in person, it gets nothing but love. Peace!
Pretty sexy watch!
Hmm being nice, not for me!
Jory - love the channel, but we obviously have very different tastes. Frankly this watch looks cheap and doesn't do anything for me.
As an Asian, i'm very skeptical about "chinese" stuffs.
Trường Giang Nguyễn Probably some secret tracking device in the watch. ⌚
Yeah. I mean general products, not only that watch.
The watch is probably gonna steal territories in the Pacific for sure.
Asia is a big territory, just like North America or Europe.
It looks a bit cheap and childish like a toy...pretty sure it's a great watch it just not everyones taste
It's a waste of money to keep so many watches.
Every passion is a waste of money. A 20 bucks Casio will give you everything 99.9999% of people needs anyway.
Why the FUCK Is it on your right arm ?
