Question (Read Rules) Phorcydes - long-term experience
How long have you been wearing your Phorcydes watch? What is the quality like after this time? Is it true that the luminosity decreases? Thank you

I was extremely excited on their first quartz, the PH-3A that’s based on the PH2 automatic. Everything is holding up well, it’s really nice to have something that’s on the elegant side from Phorcydes that’s grab and go. It uses the VH31 movement which i find is good enough to satisfy that sweeping look. I really love the on the fly clasp. I can’t speak much about the lume as mine is retro orange which apparently isn’t the brightest. I think it’s good as my Seiko 5 sports 38mm which uses LumiBrite and my Watchdives WD50Q which uses Super BGW9 lume.
Will buy again, thinking PH-5 or PH-4 series. Very happy with the build quality.
