HUDSON 38 MK5 - M1.1.7

First hand watch, and first diver. Incredibly fast, friendly and very helpful assistance. All I can do is recommend buying the Hudson mk5 (an incredible and beautiful watch) or any of their other watches. 5 Stars are the minimum, both for the watch and for the Maen team themselves

Beautiful watch

I wanted to like it more

I ordered the Hudson MK5 in February, and it did not arrive until June when originally was supposed to come in April. When the watch finally came I was delighted by the feel, look, and finish, but my joy was quickly squashed by the fact that the dive bezel would not spin without using an extraordinary amount of force. My watch is currently on its way back to MAEN for warranty service and they are quoting (not including shipping) 6-8 weeks for warranty service. This means it will be nearly 7 MONTHS from the time of ordering to the time when I actually get to start wearing it. Also, not for nothing, the Nico Leonard collabs really cheapen the brand image and I wish MAEN would stop that bs.
