    I pulled the trigger! THANK YOU for all of your help and entertainment. Yup.
    This is a dream watch for me. I've literally described this watch to my wife; saying that I'd never find a watch like it. Here it is.
    NH35 with NO date, green titanium field, NATO w/ titanium hardware, Japanese superlume, matte dial,200m wr, signed crown ....
    Modern classic.
    Sharp angles.
    Tough looking but kind of warm at the same time.
    Too cool.
    Yeah anyway I appreciate it.
    Wouldn't have known if not for you.

      @@RandomRobReviews and they're sharing the wealth. They're not greedy at all. $250 is a really good price point.
      Thanks one more time Rob.
      I don't comment much but I've been here a while. Every video I like.
      I'm trying to maintain.
      I have a decent diver (skx-7J) with a StrapcCode Super Oyster.
      Citizen Eco chrono. BL5400-52A (hard to see but fun and tricky)
      But I've been looking for a titanium green field. They're unicorns. The Alpinist just wasn't right. Great watch but not 4 me.
      I'm really hard on watches (sorry) 😁 I know that you're NOT.
      I'm kind of weird about it. They break in like an old leather jacket for me. It's kind of brutal So I won't show you any pictures. I wouldn't want anyone to hear you sobbing on RUclips.
      Anyway one more time, much appreciated.

    I don't mind that they left out the date window and I think that more companies should do this. Alot of watches have a forced date window that looks so out of place.

      If they are to go with a dateless version, they should really go with a thinner movement that fits the bill. No ghost position.

  • @joshmiller2725
    @joshmiller2725 4 года назад +1

    Really nice watch. So many companies think oh titanium is light, that means we can make the watch gigantic. Its almost impossible to find a 38mm titanium field watch. Hamilton khaki has titanium now, but the lugs are so long, and I hate to say it but I think I trust a Seiko movement more. This Seiko movement is probably not as accurate, but more robust. And the 200m wr is great. Sapphire crystal with AR. Not too thick. And are those drilled lugs? And crown at 4 oclock for comfort! Pretty much a perfect watch.

  • @norml2763
    @norml2763 5 лет назад +1

    Just got the version in white yesterday; very good review and accurate. I second the opinion on the 20mm strap; I used it for half the day, and it was just too stiff for my liking so ‘replaced it with a BluShark nato, much more comfortable. If you want to put a 2-piece strap on it, the lugs are drilled, so that’s a nice touch as well. Reasons for getting the watch: NH35 movement (my first automatic with hacking and manual wind), 38mm case (I think this size would look good on any size wrist, ok, maybe a little bit small on a sequoia tree...), screw down crown w/ 200m resistance, sapphire crystal, and titanium for less than $250 (at the time of this entry), so yeah, I feel like it’s good value in a watch I was looking for. A minor disappointment is the lack of a date complication, but, OTOH, if you want a clean, simple, field watch face, this covers all the bases.

    Reminiscent of the Khaki Pilot Pioneer H76419531, but I like the Boldr's crown positioning better, and the price tag of course! This one would look amazing on the right leather strap.

What really made me like this watch too, is the case shape around the lugs. It will make straps nato, silicone whatever look made for the watch. Google it there is a $20 coupon code.

    Great specs for the price, and love the design. The dimensions are excellent, especially that lug-lug length. I think the popular choice for most will be the Hamilton Khaki Field, but for around $100 less with better water resistance, this is pretty compelling. Call me crazy but I actually like this watch's looks better than the Hamilton. Great vid as usual Rob, if you end up doing that giveaway I'd volunteer for it 😉
