    These are awesome! The Neo Tokyo variant across ALL Namica watches is probably going to be their flagship color...sort of their legacy! I had legibility issues with the Kurayami I reviewed too, but some people WANT that stealthiness. Like you said, add the black DLC to the case and it's lights out!

    I managed to get my hands on one of the last Namica Shirahama Neo Tokyo in silver available just before Christmas, mine came from Tokyo directly from Charlie; who is a true gent! Wish I could get the blue too, perfect for summer's day watch. I saw the watch on this channel and wanted it ever since

    I have the Neo Tokyo Shirahama and absolutely love the dial. I feel this DLC Neo Tokyo Okami will be a very welcome addition to my collection and I fully expect it to be a regularly worn watch. The weakest part of the Shirahama package was the bracelet so having the fkm strap as standard is a good move in my book. Extremely excited for this one to launch in a couple days

    People complain in general about deep or large rehauts. Although it’s angled and the indices are set into the rehaut, it is very wide and mostly blank plastic. Also shrinks the dial quite a bit.
    I kind of wish they’d just made this into a chapter ring with the minute track markers on the diagonal ring. The 12 triangle is already printed on it, so why not the other minute markers? Then they could be in-line with the indented indices. Seems like a missed design opportunity.

    Is anyone else sick of the Kickstarter business model for every watch release? "Check out this new release! It looks good but this prototype has several major issues the manufacturer has promised will be totally sorted out by the time they get around to making them. Probably. Can't promise anything because production units don't yet exist. Cross your fingers and you just might have a new watch that looks similar to this in 3-36 months!" I dunno. Maybe it's just me.

  • @benjaminvis
    @benjaminvis 7 месяцев назад

    This is not for me and regrettably also just s little bit big. That said, it's done incredibly well and the Tokyo Neo vertical brush is just a dial voppur operating on a level all it's own. I think that actually plenty of mature watch lover will also see the appeal in this. It is certainly very fresh and a little edgy. The price seems quite palatable for the specs on offer and just the sheer uniqueness of it. I kind of wished it was more appealing to me, but I'm as always also glad when I don't feel the need to add to my rather long shortlist. I'd be very interested in trying this once, if I could.
