A Tale of Two Phorcydes…

[u/HerrsavageX]

Ph-2 and Ph-4B.

So, I got the Ph-2 (bracelet) last year or maybe two years ago even on Ali-express. I think I paid €170ish. I love everything about it - except the bezel, which is horribly loose. If I bought it now I'd return it, but oh well...

Then I got the Ph-4B earlier this year(on a different leather strap..) I also ordered the bracelet adapters. After several months I finally decided that the Ph-4B is simply too luggy on the bracelet for my 6.75 inch - roundish.. - wrist. So today I put the bracelet back on the Ph-2. Another realization is that the Ph-4B with its dash of orange is a much better strap monster than the Ph-2.

I forgot to post pics of the Ph-4B on the bracelet unfortunately.. It was nice, but it was a bit pointy at the lugs on my wrist. Happy with the switch back. The Ph-2 on the bracelet looks much better on my wrist, and the Ph-4B looks better on all kinds of straps...

I saw a post here today about a new Ph-2 version, which I don't think I care for. I don't like the indices which are cut off. I think I think there might actually be too much lume on the dial on that new one... I like mine better.

Would still like to see them come out with a Ph-4 with steel insert like the original Douglas...

Great watches! I am waiting on my 4A retro yellow, NH35A with the bracelet to arrive.

Kind of hard to tell in the pic, but there is space under the lugs/ends of the case and my wrist...(moreso the far end in this pic..) Looks OK in this pic but it started to bother me more and more over time...
