I would. My pros: interesting dial, unique scalloped bezel, good size, workhorse movement. 

·

I agree, dial and bezel have a distinct style - I don't like that style though 😕

·

I probably wouldn't wear one, the NH35 does nothing for me, and the styling is a bit "out there" for my tastes. 

That said, it's not a definite no, since it is a cool watch.

·

On a dare or something, yes. Would I freely choose to sport that buzz saw bevel? Hell no. But I'm not big on dive watches anyway.

·

I am a fan of the brand.

·

Yes plus I love the logo!! And the dial is cool!! i think they have a salmon dial which is nice too

I love the specs, but not the dial. Practically all of the Phoibos watches stop me at the dial with a couple of exceptions, of course.

·

its fine watch for me, except the bezel. probably too much

·

No, for no other reason than I don't care for the circular saw blade bezel. If it had a more normal bezel I'd wear it.

·

It's funny how I don't care too much about movements (within reason), but I find myself thinking "ugh, another NH35?"  Like maybe there's a point where it's not enough to just keep putting new skins on the same innards.

·

Yeah that weird bezel is a deal breaker for me unfortunately 

·

A little bit off for my tastes.

The bezel looks like something from wardrobe for a James Bond villain - especially with the logo of SPECTRE on the dial.

I don’t know why they need to make the distinction to sell them, but these are being touted as the “Lady Diver.” Not that that would stop me from wearing it, but what’s stopping me is the sawblade bezel. I pretty much like everything else.

·

I'm sure it's nicely put together, and I really appreciate when brands do something different, but this one's not for me.

I was wondering how long it would take for someone to mention this. 

·

None of it really bothers me; not the bezel, dial, or movement. But I also probably wouldn't choose it so I might wear it if it was a gift or something.

·

Probably not. I appreciate that it’s looking to stand out and try something different, but I’m not one for MOP / iridescent style dials. The bezel has a buzzsaw thing going that’s not for me but the markers and relief design of the bezel markers are look cool. Overall, just not my style.

As it's a diver, I get wave vibes over a saw, but if it's not your style, it's not your style. 

·

The bezel isn’t my cup of tea, but the specs are otherwise great for me. 

·

The Bezel is a little too buzzsaw for me but I’d totally wear it if I had it. Phoibos makes well made and interesting watches in my opinion

Wow. I didn’t even see that. That makes a lot of sense. 

·

Can I please ask...what brand is it?

Can I please ask...what brand is it? 

Of course, it's a Phoibos and it's a Lady Diver. 

The size and design don't scream "Ladies watch" to me, so I asked the question. 

Pretty interesting result if you ask me

·

Nope.  I see a whole lot of “meh”.

·

UnholiestJedi Sir... its a nice watch thank you but I pass. I let the next young lad enjoy it.

·

I like the Saw Blade bezel! It reminds me of a hang tag I use for my tool products..

My imagination is a bit lower level. It reminds me of the thing it should be reminding me of.

That's good too.

They wanted to make ship propeller vortex look with their bazel and they've done it well. Every fan of the 20.000 leagues under the sea should think of it. I would wear it without any question. Its better to get these kind of watches in the collection than to buy same old divers that all look the same.

·

I put B because I couldn’t tell if the 18mm bracelet would look proportionate to the awesome saw blade bezel but I’d throw it on a nato and wear it everywhere!
