The Wise Adamacus has no earthly right being this good.

I’ve bought a lot of watches chasing the perfect watch. Each have had their own merits, quirks and fun. But nothing has ever been “perfect” to me until I stumbled upon the Wise AD8.

Perfect lume, perfect dimensions, solid movement, interesting dial and handset and very a premium build / material use for sub 600 bucks?

Time will tell but…this doesn’t seem to want off my wrist.

And if you buy it without the bracelet it came with a leather strap and a FKM strap too! Truly a bargain.

Good looking watch, love the dial

It's a ridiculously good watch and especially for the money.

The bezel is a touch stiff but that's a fairly small gripe amidst a generally excellent watch.

I like them and agree the specs are incredible. My only gripes, the printed logo and the shape of the hour hand

The hour marker has an art deco New York bullding vibe to it, I like that it’s not just another Mercedes style hand tbh but I get it could be a bit love/hate.

The printed dial text is actually very well executed, I’m not sure applied would actually work on this dial and if printed text is good enough for Rolex 🤷‍♂️

Yep, have the 902L SS bracelet coming in Jan too so I’ll have all the options!

All great points but tastes are different and although I also cannot stand Mercedes hands, I am having difficulty with this one too. I prefer very simple hand executions.
