Hi Rick, thanks we love the review and appreciate you taking the time to do so! Just to clarify to all the viewers, the bezel is made from ceramic, but lets not takeaway from what a great video this was. Thanks and we look forward to the possibility of working together again.
Hi. Subscribed, great video ! I too had an issue with a Cestrian Dive Series bought through Amazon where the box (sprung hinge on the 1st series) was broken and a spring was sticking out. After contacting Cestrian direct and a bit of back and forth, they sent a new box.. bit picky, but I keep all watch boxes. I have since bought their Master Series (series 1) and it's a beauty, shame it's not a tad bigger. Keep it up !!
Totally agree about the date window! Maybe just me as well, but time only looks great! That diver would also look great with a black outer ring to break up the green dial and bezel IMO. Great unboxing and review!!
Good review. Regarding the Master Series: I completely agree with you regarding the date window; to me it's totally unnecessary and is detrimental to the dial on 95% of watches. Conversely I completely disagree regarding the caseback. Exhibition casebacks add unnecessary depth and weight to a piece which unless you have a very special movement are not worth the downsides. I could personally live the rest of my life without seeing another ugly bog standard Seiko or Miyota movement (or even the higher tier of Seiko movements which are no better) I have quite a few pieces with exhibition casebacks which I never look at so are completely superfluous... Apart from my Seagull 1963; the movement on that is truly a thing of beauty and I would wear the watch upside down if I could 😂
I already know you have character and great taste after watching your Casio “The Grey man” video. I can be an asshole and I don’t even have a speeding ticket and I’ve never kicked a dog…ever! We’re all spiritually evolving and gods little boys! If we where perfect we wouldn’t be here mate! God speed
Hi Rick, 1st time on your channel by chance as I was looking into making a punt on the green field watch as it looks great. I subscribed to your channel due to your style of your review as I like the way you tell it as it is and no beating about the bush instead of glorifying all the good bits and not mentioning any bad bits. Would like to see another review on the Cestrian field watch (if you ever think of doing one) on how it will look on different straps. Perhaps, in the future Cestrian may also supply a leather or rubber quick release strap.
Thanks mate, really appreciate the sub and the kind words. You gotta be honest on review right? (Cut to me with 25k subs, shilling for Invicta and saying they are good as a patek just to earn a buck!lol)) I think the field would be great on some different straps, you're right.
The hands weren't aligned on my master series which put me off the brand. Can't fault Watchnation as a company though. I believe the bezel insert is actually ceramic on the diver.
oh, misalignment can be a pain for sure. Dave from Cestrian also told me that the dive has ceramic too. I was going off of their PR deck material that mad no mention of ceramic. good to know though.

Hi, I love these watches but not a massive fan of SS bracelets. Do you have any plans of offering these with different straps in the future?
Love the diver, even though I'm not a massive dive watch fan, but at 42mm just too large I'm afraid.
Hi @cestrianwatches, is the dive series iso rated?

Thanks for the comment
I am getting the green diver! It is better than the Kamasu in every category, except the movement accuracy.
Nice, hope you like it mate. Thanks for the comment

Thanks mate, I really enjoyed doing it.

Agreed, now all we need to do is get everyone else on board. Thanks for the comment
The dive series bezel IS ceramic dude.
Yeah, Dave from Cestrian told me that too. I was going off of their PR deck material that made no mention of ceramic. Glad to hear it though.

Indeed my friend, very true. Thanks for the comment
