“Unnecessarily big. I have a watch running the NE88 that is 40mm in width and 13.5mm in height, so there is no need for these dimensions. Additionally the crown is not square and protrudes at an angle. Shrunken down this would be an attractive and wearable watch.”
“I`ve had the R34 for a couple of months now. Very happy with it. So much so that i have since bought an Asto and managed to get an Eyre from the Marlow Market place . Both Gordon and Okiver are very helpful and a pleasure to deal with. About a month ago i was at a cousin`s birthday party and i had on the Eyre.His wife liked it so much that she bought him a Coniston. .”
“The R34 is an excellent watch with the performance and styling of much more expensive watches. Marloe Watch Company is solid performer with products.”
“The thick bezel on the watch does give it a rather top heavy look. However apart from that it looks superb with the case partly highly polished and brushed. Another plus is that when the chronograph function is utilised and then reset all the hands return to precisely zero. I have several chronographs both Chinese and Swiss and apart from one they all fail to zero exactly so well done Seiko/Marloe. The watch also proved to be extremely accurate. A watch that I can recommend therefore.”
“The watch is beautiful, the manufacture is outsanting. All the details are extremely well care. The waffle pattern is really nice and the contrast between the blue and withe catch the eye. The NE88a movement is very accurate and trustworthy. The only problem is the leather strap, despite is a Horween and matches perfectly with the Atlantic the inner part of the leather strap fades and after two weeks of daily use, every night my wrist is stained. Another bad thing with this problem is the outer seams are now irregulary colorful, some of the seams are black because the black paint of the Horween strap diluted with sweat painted the seams by capillarity. Is an excellent watch with a medium quality strap. El reloj es magnífico, los detalles son muy bonitos. Me gusta especialmente el patrón tipo waffle, y la combinación del azul con blanco realmente es muy, muy atractiva. Estoy muy contento con los detalles y la manufactura del reloj. El movimiento Seiko automático igualmente es muy confiable, de hecho el año pasado compré un reloj de otra marca con un movimiento cronómetro ETA suizo (más caro) y se me ha descompuesto. Este japonés es muy bueno. Lo que no me ha gustado es que la correa, a pesar de ser Horween, se despinta de la parte interior y me mancha la muñeca, llevo usándolo dos semanas y todos los días en la noche que me quito el reloj tengo la muñeca manchada del tinte negro de la parte interior. Pero lo peor ha sido que esta mala calidad del tinte, con el sudor de mi piel y el calor extremo (vivo en Torreón, Coahuila, México) hace que se disuelva y por capilaridad manche las costuras externas, esto realmente se ve mal, dado que las costuras ahora se ven irregulares. Quizá en años le de su atractivo, pero ahora nuevo no es lo deseable. En resumen, un magnífico reloj con una correa de calidad media. Arturo Villalobos”
“This company continues to innovate at fantastic value. They don’t follow the crowd with design, they lead. This R34 will get plenty of wrist time along with my Omega, Sinn and Tag. I always keep an eye on the latest from Marloe.”
