Today we are reviewing a watch from Thailand called Wise Adamascus AD773. Not only is it packaged in one of the most luxurious boxes I have ever seen on a microbrand, but the watch itself is really something special.
Original in design, reminiscent of the vintage King and Grand Seikos, boxed sapphire, Miyota 9019 and a sexy and VERY slim case.

As I expected, the watch didn't dissapoint. Under macro it is THE BEST finished microbrand watch I ever reviewed, and from now on, I will refer to WISE as Grand Seiko of microbrands, as they really are THAT GOOD.
Not quite GS level, but about 90%, which for 5-10% of price of a GS, is a steal!!

I hope you enjoy the video :)

I got my first Wise about a month ago (Hitman) amazing quality and good price.

I have one in mind from a year almost. Completely in love with this watch

[brianmsahin]

Very impressive. Love that dial. So well made and refined. However, although the Damascus Steel is great, I'm not sure if I like it or not. Maybe I'm just not used to looking at it yet!!

[benjaminvis]

I think there are now normal steel versions, but the dial finish also changed. I tend to agree that this arguably would have wider appeal (and less doubt on my side) if at ~37mm. It just regularly seems to sit slightly large. The damascus I still rhink may be a bit much for me, but I might on a quieter dial, like the grey version. Otherwise a 904l steel would likely be more appealing.

[ginocolella]

Wise is the Grand Seiko of MB.. 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[Watch-Crazy]

So you're basically saying it would be 'Wise' to buy one of these. Sorry for the bad joke! Awesome looking watch and superb finishing, but I have to agree, the Damascus steel just doesn't quite do it...

[nooski_Watches-iknr]

Thank you a for video review. Yes Wise watches are beautifully made. I am very satisfied with my AD8 and I am looking at this particular piece as well.

[tactofu]

Very impressive - I love that they have options in 904L. It's a little too big for my tiny wrists, though.

[lefroy]

Beautiful macro shots man!
You're right about this needing a (perhaps cheaper) offering in regular steel rather than Damascus only.

[canadianwatchmonkey]

I love what Wise is doing ❤ I love the watch reviewed here but not a huge fan of Damascus steel, I would go for the straight up polished steel personally

[rayintheforest]

Wise is now one of my grail brands. I hope I can get one one day...

[Tyrone]

It's such an incredible watch. I have the faux patina version (but I debated between these two) I genuinely think it's my perfect watch.

Doubt they ever will but would be interested if they ever decide to make a bracelet

And they do offer a 904l steel version as well btw (but with an enamel dial)

[robbbbery]

Wowza! I knew they were nice, but I had no idea just how nice

Do you think you'll get the chance to try out the 904L cased version of this watch?

[jims]

I'm getting tired of 'boxed domed' crystals - when I take a watch to my watch repair shop they recommend flat crystals for protection. Saving a mm or two helps as well.

[Kevinjimtheone]

Unfortunately, you can't find them in Europe and have to import them, which is a deal break for me as the price would skyrocket to almost double the original price.

[benefitthirteen]

Justly or not, I've routinely found myself apprehensive with microbrands; that their products won't go the distance, and in that they can come at a bit of a premium due to their very nature, that I'd find myself regretting my purchase. It's encouraging to find a brand which seems well regarded; though with the AD773 in particular, I think I'd have ponder the Damascus for a time to see if I'd like it long term.

[MrStylemed]

I agree. I'd like to see this in 36mm.

[strannostrannovasrr]

It's a gorgeous watch. But I wish there was a version in normal steel (not in damascus) and the I don't like the printed logo "WISE" very much. But this watch is certainly on my list.

[vilic]

Confession:
When I saw the tease pic the day before the review, I said to myself - I hope WG is referring to Wise!
I've said it when you reviewed their diver, and I will say it again here: THANK YOU WG for bringing these GEMS to our attention while rest of the watch YT reviews the next overpriced offering from Seiko...

[sylvainster]

It really does look like “Grand Seiko” quality 🤯 only time will tell if it was “Wise” or not to purchase this microbrand! 😂
Have a great day! ✌🏼😎👍🏼
