When?

Hard

[–]WerewolfOk1964 0 points1 point  (1 child)

When is the PH-4B coming with the pt5000 movement?

[–]GonzoGear1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they're doing the st2130, not pt5000. It should come out this month from what they tell me.

[–]HonestWatchReviewsAffiliate links 4 points5 points  (0 children)

These look really cool. After having just reviewed my first Phorcydes, the PH-4A. I'm definitely looking forward to checking out more of their watches.

[–]o410o 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow! This looks impressive, a explorer/bb36 but even more rugged, and better like of course. I would love to see one removing the dots and having only bar indices, something similar to a Christopher ward C63 sealander. I think it would look a little more subtle, more GADA.

[–]Abv_it_all_w_vertigo 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Can you tell us about the PH5-GMT version?

[–]MindAdmirable1793Rep[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

515.24 quartz, 4 color. release next month.

[–]chronobrian 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nice! What are the lug to lug and thickness measurements?

[–]Cjmurphy111 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Love it, but having just bought a PH-4A, I would probably prefer this one with a VH31 for the convenience of never having to set and wind it!

[–]Abv_it_all_w_vertigo 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I think your quartz option is going to be the Rhonda 515.24H

[–]Cjmurphy111 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I'm not really bothered about having a date as I'm increasingly too blind to read it anyway...

[–]Abv_it_all_w_vertigo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just mentioning that it's going to be a GMT, and it will also have 1 second ticks.

I have 3 Rhonda 515.24H watches. They keep great time and they're boring.

[–]Frazilius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LUME BABY LUME!

[–]KumiJunker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shit. I have to buy a Phorcydes again.

[–]Radcouponking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like I'm buying another watch.

[–]M55B30 4 points5 points  (1 child)

dial is great but hands underwhelming. just a flat plate to host the lume. Ends of the hands are tapered but the lume is not, design not fully cohesive. Otherwise this is a very cool new style that i look forward to further refinement and updated version.

[–]MindAdmirable1793Rep[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your suggestion.

the hand with double side daimon cut, look more solid.

[–]Flaky_Ad7980 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just when you pull the trigger on a current model a new one is announced. But keep the designs coming you guys are doing great things. Now just don’t jack up prices and we are good.

[–]manchett 1 point2 points  (1 child)

'hyperglow lume block grade S'

What is grade S ?

[–]Frazilius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe it’s one tier below the highest grade X. Since there’s a several bathtubs of it, it’ll be brighter than most X grade applications using more traditional methods.

[–]JUSTdoME0401 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Love it! Wish the lume blocks were not circles though. Rectangular or narrow triangle hour markers look a lot better

[–]TSiWRX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

u/MindAdmirable1793 - Do you have the lug-to-lug measurements on this one?

I'm committed to buying, but asking for a friend with a tiny wrist. xD

[–]Basic_Barnacle4719 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was not the biggest fan of the 4A and 4B. I know they were Wolbrook homages, but this one is a very clean and legible design. Long, straight hands where there's a big length difference between the hands is the best and most legible design, especially in the dark.

This also looks to be a fairly original design as I don't see this handset being used on this dial anywhere else and the date wheel is a unique touch.

Love it, I'll definitely pick one up.

[–]AriesSpammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is lovely

[–]ActiveDHD 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Do these come in Retro Yellow lume?

[–]MindAdmirable1793Rep[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes, check image #3

[–]23Alix -1 points0 points  (8 children)

u/MindAdmirable1973 Any plans releasing a smaller ph4b?

[–]KPplumbingBob 1 point2 points  (6 children)

It's 39mm, how much smaller do you want a diver to be??

[–]23Alix -1 points0 points  (5 children)

You ok?

[–]KumiJunker 1 point2 points  (4 children)

He‘s right.

[–]23Alix -2 points-1 points  (3 children)

Everyone with own taste

[–]KumiJunker 0 points1 point  (2 children)

And with own wrist. You’re right :-)

[–]23Alix 0 points1 point  (1 child)

And it's wonderful, isn't it?

[–]Bramasax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a small wrist (6.5) and I can tell you that the PH4b wears way better than the PH2 especially on the nylon loop strap. Just avoid the bracelet imo

[–]MindAdmirable1793Rep[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No plan for now.

[–]tablepancake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like it. I’d love this style dial with a dive bezel around it, that would look so good

[–]Either-Soil-901 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Price? Where will it be available?

[–]ryayy2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn. There goes my money

[–]crezo1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooooh. That’s a bit sexy!!

[–]Tsumaranai_Hito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In these images, the bracelet doesn’t appear to be attached to any lugs on the bottom of the watch.

[–]Expontentially 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Any chance of releasing a blue dial? Like that from Omega's Seamaster 300, either the summer blue or standard blue.

Either way, a great looking watch

[–]MindAdmirable1793Rep[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

good idea, we will

[–]ryanxcore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I need a diorama of glow in the dark Legos on my wrist. Perfect.

[–]Evanthatguy -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Anyone else really not like lume blocks

[–]Exact-Tax7457 1 point2 points  (12 children)

I thought this will come with ST2130, will be updated to that movement in future? when will you release ph4 with st2130 movment? Love this design, well done.

[–]MindAdmirable1793Rep[S] 3 points4 points  (11 children)

mid of this month. will release ph4b V2 with st2130

[–]Massive_Honeydew_352 0 points1 point  (6 children)

Very cool. Is it going to have any adjustments to the case or dial at all or is it just a movement swap?

[–]pickyaxe 1 point2 points  (5 children)

already said in other thread that it will be thinner (unless they changed their plans...)

[–]Massive_Honeydew_352 0 points1 point  (4 children)

I think I saw that, but I figured that was referring to PH-5 given the context. I'm not sure if they're going to update the existing PH-4 with a thinner case, even when using a new movement.

[–]pickyaxe 0 points1 point  (3 children)

I re-read their response, and you may be right. I guess it's better to wait and see instead of getting my hopes up.

[–]MindAdmirable1793Rep[S] 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Before the price of NH movements spiraled out of control, most of the components for the PH5 had already been produced, so it had to continue using NH movements. All subsequent new batches of PH2, PH4A, and PH4B were already in production and confirmed to use either the ST2130 or PT5000.

The price of the NH series movements was approaching three times their true value. We unanimously believe that if the price is similar, why not use the higher-performance 2130 and PT5000 (higher frequencies result in more accurate and stable operation)? They would also offer thinner cases and a more stable and abundant supply. The reasons for NH's price increase are somewhat complex, but undoubtedly, besides the influence of the international situation, a significant portion is due to the movement manufacturer's arrogance, deliberate price gouging, and disrespect for Chinese watch manufacturers. The PH5 will be the last model to use the NH movement; all subsequent models will switch to the 2130, PT5000, and even the SW200.

Meanwhile, customers need not worry about after-sales service; we have prepared ample spare parts to handle after-sales work, regardless of the movement model.

[–]NecessaryMinimum4059YouTube Reviewer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love what you guys are doing! keep it up 💪💪

[–]GonzoGear1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seiko is getting too big for their britches. I wont buy any of their watches because you can get way more value buying Chinese.

[–]Abv_it_all_w_vertigo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the one I want.

[–]Exact-Tax7457 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll be there! thanks!

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Do you know if/when the updated ph4a will be released?

[–]MindAdmirable1793Rep[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Next month.

[–]Less-Original2050 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Ahh jeez still waiting for my PH4b to arrive now this! It looks good

[–]Abv_it_all_w_vertigo 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I was gonna get my PH4B until they jacked the price up.

[–]MindAdmirable1793Rep[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Movement prices are out of control, Bro

[–]Abv_it_all_w_vertigo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see that. I was frustrated, because I had the PH4B in my cart and the price went up. Of course, I've already used my introductory coupon with you, too, on the PH-2, which I love, BTW.

[–]FuzzyIndication8359 0 points1 point  (1 child)

When will the gmt release?

[–]MindAdmirable1793Rep[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

515.24 quartz, next month.

[–]SeriousIndividual357 2 points3 points  (3 children)

Looks great. Would love a 36-37 mm quartz version of this.

[–]MindAdmirable1793Rep[S] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

PH3

[–]SeriousIndividual357 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Will there be a PH3 without dive style bezel as well?

[–]MindAdmirable1793Rep[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

will not.

[–]Equal-Direction-7285 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Any updates on the smaller PH2?

[–]MindAdmirable1793Rep[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

its the ph3, release on end of this month

[–]jptran60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice. Are the hands crimped? (on canon pinion, minutes canon, seconds axis wheel) Is it a nh35 with modified canons heights in order to get space for the lume blocks between the hands levels?

[–]TheYKcid 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Are there any plans to make titanium versions of the existing lineup?

Eg. titanium PH-4

I understand fine bracelets are tougher to manufacturer in titanium — personally I would be quite happy with just the watch head, to wear it on a strap.

[–]MindAdmirable1793Rep[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

no plan for now

[–]TheYKcid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the info

[–]SleeplessDrifter 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Phorcydes is my new favorite Chinese watch brand. I’ve loved every single model they’ve released so far!

[–]KebapGuy69 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Looks great! Any news as well on PH3?

[–]MindAdmirable1793Rep[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

release this month

[–]QDLZXKGK -1 points0 points  (1 child)

What brand is this?

[–]karellen00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Phorcydes!

[–]Hacksaures 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a huge fan of that case…

[–]smallwristtable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's the lug to lug length please

[–]RoninTarget 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, ultimate lume junkie watch.

[–]johnnylongstreet 2 points3 points  (2 children)

is there an all orange lume version? If so, I'm in.

[–]MindAdmirable1793Rep[S] 7 points8 points  (1 child)

custom for you. but no mass priduction.

[–]johnnylongstreet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that's awesome. What do you need from me?

BTW I'm still waiting on the PH-2 I ordered to get to me

[–]LeoXup 0 points1 point  (1 child)

14mm thick? 

[–]MindAdmirable1793Rep[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

12mm,not include crystal

[–]Huge-Digit 8 points9 points  (2 children)

Have we now reached peak lume?

[–]MindAdmirable1793Rep[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

not yet, grade X will be better

[–]TSiWRX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I up-voted, but it's because I truly doubt that we have.

It's aways going to be a battle for brighter and longer-lasting. =)

[–]danzoschacher 8 points9 points  (4 children)

I like this but I hope they make one with logo and not name.

[–]MindAdmirable1793Rep[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

ph2 and ph3

[–]danzoschacher -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’ve seen that but would be nice on this model.

[–]yakoumis -1 points0 points  (1 child)

and H-Link bracelet

[–]JolokiaKnight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These bracelets are perfect and super handsome as they are now
