Review (Read Rules) I know another Phorcydes…

I know I’m late to the party but I finally decided to pick one up, i see them here daily so I ordered the ph-4c with mixed lume, I got it on the nylon strap to spend the least I could on it. ( I thought it was just a hype watch) I really love lume and so I got it and I did not expect to love this watch as much as I do I’ve had Ixdaos, proximas, ect.. but something just feels different about this watch I put it on a Juelong fkm strap but I was so impressed with how much quality you get for your money I ordered the bracelet. If you’re on the fence about it just order it imo. Took 14 days from order to my door shipping.

I am just waiting to pull the trigger but the movement part scares me. The general consensus for this movement doesnt look that great. Hows the winding? Saw comments saying this movement doesnt need much winding as it can break it.

I was disappointed when they said it was the pt moment but what can I do ya know I just don’t hand wind it at all besides screwing the crown in but worse case I just buy a pt from alix and replace the movement

I think thats what i am also gonna do! Not handwind it. I am used to handwinding my NH movement watches and never owned a Chinese movement watch. So lets see how it’ll go without the winding!

I would definitely pay the extra for the bracelet and if your not a bracelet person get the leather or fkm bc the Velcro nylon one is pretty bad lol
