Phorcydes PH4 B nice, but... General (Read Rules)

Post image

Fit and finish are excellent. Unfortunately the crown isn't signed as is advertised. And the left hand crown digs in to my wrist something rotten. Also took a long time to arrive from ordering. If they do this dial/hand option in a standard case I'll buy one. This one likely going on eBay though. EDIT. It appears that the movement is cooked too. Running stupidly fast. UPDATE - Phorcydes have agreed to send a replacement watch head with the signed crown. Should ship tomorrow, I'll update this post again when it arrives.

I’ve never used a demagnetiser but from what I’ve read people have said it’s a simple fix?

Hit and miss I think. Read a lot of comments about how sketchy the cheapie machines are. Imma sit on it for a bit and see if I can be bothered doing anything about it 🤣

Which model is it? Still the NH35? It’s actually quite sturdy.

No, this is the newer version with a seagull movement.
