    Phorcydes watches? Any experiences?

    Seems like another Steeldive / San Martin / Merkur company but I do like what they do.
    So much so I ordered the PH 2 (homage to LIP Blancpain 50 fathoms as seen here

    I stumbled upon them after a Watcher review of the PH 1 (pam elements in Turtle case)

    Their website is a bit light on information!

    Their PH-1 is a bit of a mixed lucky bag of design cues.

    Why has it the made-up word 'Professtional' on the dial?

    I think I'll wait for their 'Exploror' hommage.

    I agree but it seems final versions have it rectified, exactly that part is what I checked on the review video :

    I ordered mine from Ali shop Addies (I think they make Steeldive?), seller was good, he sent me additional photos to confirm bezel markers are same color like dial markers (vintagized light brown). All in all for 150 eur, I'll check it out.... I can post link to it if I'm not breaking rules with that.

    Funny they made a homage to such a niche watch like LIP Blancpain, been searching for thin bezel diver after I sold San Martin Bronze.

    My watch just came in today, pretty solid for the money

    Double dome sapphire, Nh35 auto hacking and winding, ceramic bezel, 42mm, I must say checks all the boxes. Based on this
