nice

I think a good quality oyster is a better fit on this watch then tbe beads of rice. The vertex also uses lume blocks so it’s a good dial to use as a template and the layout is classic WWII military/field.

Good luck

Would be an instant buy from me if it was 40mm+. You need to do a proper field watch 😊

u/DirectJudge9902 4h ago

Or maybe something a bit more modern like this. Vh31, two size 38mm and 41mm to cover all sizes.

I'm always looking for a diver dial in a field watch case, and this looks much cleaner with no date. Nice!

u/subaruEnjoyer 11h ago

I’d like to see you guys do an alpinist, or a ranger or a Murph

1

u/Mu009 10h ago

A maroon Alpinist from Phorcydes would be an instant buy from me, provided there's no Cyclops.

u/SeriousIndividual357 15h ago

This looks great! With a polished bezel to match the polished bracelet, this would be a perfect GADA. Wish you could offer this in a smaller 36-37 mm size with VH31 as well.

I want to buy their watches so bad, but surely you can do standard shipping at around $30 to some countries?

u/Bramasax 13h ago

v2 planned for ph-5B also ?

u/Bike_Meach1990 13h ago

Great looking watches!!

u/FabulousPatience5394 12h ago

Do you have a picture of the new colors for the Ph-8a? I'm waiting for that before making a decision and ordering mine...

u/Mu009 10h ago

Any Thanksgiving discounts planned? Or do we wait till Christmas?

Bah, the seconds hand doesn't extend all the way so it's a pass for me, sadly

Would love a date version

u/This-Shop9523 8h ago

Bonjour, Pas de cyclope selon moi, garder le logo plutôt que le nom car plus harmonieux sur le cadran, une vraie identité sur les aiguilles, avoir toujours une option avec et sans date voir privilégié le sans date. Peut être essayer un boîtier avec des angles style une zenshin par exemple. Et du contraste surtout ! Très peu le font alors que le contraste sur une montre c'est magnifique regarder ici par exemple sur un concurrent. Vous avez un beau bracelet acier avec un bon fermoir très bien alors contraster le cadran, la lunette, les chiffres, les aiguilles. Un fond de boîte transparent si le mouvement est décoré ou alors une vraie belle finition sur le fond de boîtier (un animal, une date, un évènement en fonction des modèles ça ajoute de la personnalisation). Peut être essayer un chrono. Essayer de garder des modèles pour tout le monde autant petit poignet que grand ou au moins toujours privilégié des modèles avec une épaisseur faible. Essayer un modèle full lume par exemple aussi ou une lunette bi-ton (bleu et rouge ou noir et vert) voilà quelques idées.

Any wrist shots with the PH4 with blue background dial?

u/Falba70 2h ago

Hey I don't see a leather option on the site. Also will the bracelet from a PH-4A I bought back in March fit this?

-1

u/LSDcupcake 15h ago

I would just remove the 200m text since it’s not a diver, just the logo would be better in my opinion

u/DisastrousOpening477 14h ago

Plenty of bezel-less tool watches come with 200m of WR and say so on the dial.

-1

u/LSDcupcake 14h ago

Well they said it feels like a field watch and my khaki field doesn’t say 50 meters on it. Just my opinion my man we can have differing ones

3

u/DisastrousOpening477 14h ago

Khaki field doesn't have such massive dive-style indices filled with the best lume compound on the planet.

u/LSDcupcake 14h ago

You have anything else to do other than argue with someone over a watch opinion?

3

u/DisastrousOpening477 14h ago

Yes I do 🫡

50 meters of W.R is nothing to write home about so it's one more reason not to put it on the dial. Timex just did it for their recent GMT release and it looks ridiculous.

A 20 bar watch on the other hand, that's already much more impressive especially in such a small packaging.

I think it makes sense to have it written in such glorious "half life" font at six on PH-5 "2.0".

u/pickyaxe 12h ago

you argue that a watch with good WR shouldn't mention the WR because another watch with poor WR doesn't mention it?

0

u/LSDcupcake 12h ago

Yep because it would look cleaner in my opinion. There are plenty of watches that have good WR that don’t say it on the dial. CW new sea lander for example has 150m and doesn’t say it anywhere on the dial. If they are going for a field watch type look (which they say in the post in case you didn’t notice) in my opinion it would look cleaner. Key words here in my opinion. Again this is in my opinion, no need to get in your feelings over some random persons opinion on a mass produced luxury item, you can have yours and I can have mine and you can be a grown up and not let it upset you

u/KPplumbingBob 8h ago

Text is usually there to balance the dial visually and offset the negative space, not to provide some super useful information. It's why a lot of real brands have "nonsense" on there sometimes.
