    Good morning guys, hope all is well. As you can see, we're taking a look at the RDUNAE R4, but is this one a little too pricey for what they're asking for it? Thanks and have a good one.

    Taking the production to a whole new level top video mate, onto the watch and nice to some originality, dials a little plain, hands and indices match well, I really like that bezel also

    You're def right about the hands mate ,they've gone thin to stand out I reckon but divers have bold hands for a good reason and it wont help legibility in the water at all,

    • @WesWatchRoom

      Absolutely, someone pointed it out during the unboxing and I agree, needs making a bit bigger or make the watch smaller. Thanks

    this watch looks excellent...but man, $200 and you get hollow links and pressed clasp? deal-breakers for me right there. throw in the sheer size of this thing and I just couldn't. thanks for the review, though. and nicely done as always, wes

    • @WesWatchRoom

      Totally agree, it really needs a step up to be worth what they are asking for it. Thanks for watching

    I saw that and thought it looked great but the mentioned shortcoming made me think twice.
    I think an Orient Kamasu is a better option…

    • @WesWatchRoom
      @WesWatchRoom  2 года назад

      You're right, for not much more you can get the 1st gen kamasu and I'd definitely rather have that. Thanks 👍

    Nice watch mate, it would have been better if the handsets were a bit thicker. I totally agree with you mate, considering the short comings it has definitely a bit on pricier side.

    • @WesWatchRoom
      @WesWatchRoom  2 года назад +1

      It does have a lot going for it, just needs a few minor tweaks. Thanks

    Those dimensions and bracelet are not what I was expecting going into this video....they have the makings of a very good watch, but as it stands too many alterations required to justify the price.... definitely a no as it is....🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⌚🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⌚

    Hey Mr B. Yeah a bit pricey for me. Nice watch however. Colour match date wheel is nice just dont like painted second hands. Never have.

    • @WesWatchRoom
      @WesWatchRoom  2 года назад

      Hey mate, thank you for watching and it does have some nice touches for sure but does fall short.

  • @AlexanderB.
    @AlexanderB. 2 года назад +3

    Other than this watch being too big the main thing I would change is the hand set. The hands are not awful but they're somehow not suited to a dive watch.

    • @WesWatchRoom
      @WesWatchRoom  2 года назад

      Yeah, I like the hands, I just think they're too slim and need beefing up some. Or make the watch smaller and more slender? Thanks for watching

      Agreed mate, does need slimming down some. Thanks

  • @bangforbuckwatches8248
    @bangforbuckwatches8248 2 года назад +1

    Please give them the feedback to do a new version in 40 or below mm., framed date window and thickness around 14mm. That's the change to cash in the potential of this watch.

    • @WesWatchRoom
      @WesWatchRoom  2 года назад

    Too bad about this one ... I have the Rdunae R3 Compressor style watch and it is lovely. Still thick but it comes on a rubber strap avoiding this bracelet letdown.
    Watch of the day: Lorus Lumibrite

    • @WesWatchRoom
      @WesWatchRoom  2 года назад +1

      Yeah few too many corners cut unfortunately, but does have potential. I'm hoping to get the r3 at some point because it looks really good. Thanks for watching mate

    Rdunae... A brand name that's truly unforgettable 😆 🤣. A Skmei collab would be almost perfect for naming. Thanks as always for the content, high quality as usual.

    • @WesWatchRoom
      @WesWatchRoom  2 года назад +1

      Definitely, I don't call it the proper name as its daft, but what can you do, they won't hire native English speakers to help with branding, so not a deal to be done. Thanks for watching

      Hi, I have one and it is a great watch. Bracelet, not so good. I have it on a rubber FKM strap. With the name, it is a bit funky, but has a meaning: Roma die uno non aedificata est, translating to "Rome isnt built in a day".

    @rayharrison6400 2 года назад +3

    I think this is a £100 watch all day long. Design isn’t that exciting to be fair, but has chunk appeal. So many brands are falling short by mediocre bracelets all the time. 5/10 for me.

    • @Zzutubez

      Agree, only a few are not cutting corners really, sadly these are one that are. Shame because it has potential. Thanks Ray

    • @psiturbo
      @psiturbo 11 месяцев назад

      Almost all of them cut corners with the bracelet. So far the only one that has impressed me is the Tuna homage bracelet... is one chunky metal band.

    Hi again Wes can’t believe I haven’t seen this video until now. The watch does look nice and has a bit of a Christopher Ward feel about it but yes £160+ for a watch with such a crappy bracelet is not good 😤

    • @WesWatchRoom
      @WesWatchRoom  2 года назад

      Thanks for watching mate and its all good, I have made quite a few and agreed, the bracelet is very basic for the cost.

    Too big, too thick, too expensive. Its a no from me X
    Its a shame as it has its proportions just right - if they can scale the design down to 38-39mm around 12mm thick (bring the WR down to 100m if needed) - then it will be a winner

    • @WesWatchRoom
      @WesWatchRoom  2 года назад

      Agree mate, definitely needs slimming down and making smaller then it would be a real contender. Thanks for watching

  • @bluecollarwatches7048
    @bluecollarwatches7048 2 года назад +1

    Way to thick, it’s circumference is fine for me but I have a bigger wrist, but again it’s just to thick. Doesn’t actually look to bad, but I think it’s priced a bit high.

    • @WesWatchRoom
      @WesWatchRoom  2 года назад

      Absolutely agree, it's definitely for guys with bigger wrists than mine and it could either do with a price cut or bump in quality. Thanks

  • @watchalot919
    @watchalot919 2 года назад +1

    Too big and a horrible clasp. the dial is nice, but would suit a 38/39mm watch so much better
