We talk about high value watches in all price ranges. This is a safe and "snobbery free" place. Check out my other channel RU-vid.com/cheapaudioman if you're into hifi, home theater, and headphone equipment.
I just bought this watch yesterday. It was between this SRPJ45 (blue) or the SRPD59 (orange). I ended up liking the SRPJ more to it's unique dial. It's my first automatic watch and my first seiko watch. I find it interesting that in America, they have the days in English and Spanish (I think?) and here in Canada, the days are in English and French!
They're an homage brand and when I see people wearing homage watches, the first thing I think is 'you can't afford the real deal?' The thing is, we can all afford the real deal, it just shows bad taste is all. There's nothing wrong with inexpensive watches, but buy an original design.
My friend sold the amzwatch and it looks like the real thing you showed. It even comes with an authenticity card that matches the serial number of each bag. But her fake was $500.
I have mine for almost a year and it beautiful. It’s my fake Rolex white gold meteorite. Lol. I have three other Tudors, Pelagos 42 blue date, BB 41, and Pro. Yeah I’m a fanboy.
Great new channel. Followed. My favorite affordable an old school Wenger quartz Roadster. Found at a discount store after Xmas in 2018 for $42. Ditched the rubber strap, added a 5 ring Zulu, hacked the dial with better lume dots to replace most on the indices. Now I can wake at 5 am and still see the time. I have only one grail a Heuer Monnin 844 2nd gen French made with Mercedes hands. I'm the original owner.
I feel like it depends a lot on the model you pick. Rolex GMTs for example have monochromatic text. The texture on the bezel is right but Rolex didnt do that when they used alluminum bezels same for Omega. Bracelet there is no contest objectively speaking but some things where you complained about the Tudor are hardly comparable since Omega and Rolex models are looking to be modern and Tudor is aiming for vintage style.
Before you even referenced the cloudiness of the PD crystal, that was my first impression when you first displayed the watches. Later in the video, it is clear that the PD crystal is not clear. I have other watches that have this same issue. It is not quite humidity, but it gives that effect. I have always thought it was the result of outgassing of a material inside the case that forms a residue on the crystal. It could also be the the result of an inferior ARC treatment on the underside of the crystal. One time, I was testing the lume on a watch and left under a light bulb. I got distracted and when I finally moved the watch from under the bulb, this cloudy residue formed on the crystal and it never went away. The bezel of the WD is similar in execution to the different model WD that I own. My WD is more reminiscent of earlier models of Rolex GMT Master, where the edge of the bezel rises only just above the case such that it is harder to grip in combination with the fast the notches of the WD bezel have less edginess and are more smoothly finished.. I like that detail on mine, even if it has less purchase.
Thanks for your real and detailed review , Randy , great job . For your suggestion , we will forward it to the product team and try our effort to upgrade on future new models . For the bezel mismatch issue , sorry for didn't check it carefully before sending out , things just happened . As we check the rest stock including other colors and found they are well aligned , so anyone interested in this watch and worry about this could contact we watchdives to get real watch photos. And yes, we have jubilee bracelet option for this one as well . Thanks again for your video .
not all of the watches have misalligned bezels. you may have a unlucky draw. I have san martins dead spot on perfect aligned. also I like the NH34 GMT as an economic version for gmat. I do have rolex and tudor same version and those are really well made but I rather keep them on my safe and use them special ocasion and keep my investment in really good shape. My san martin NH34 I have it regulated and accuracy is under COSC certification
More of a Coke person so the "Pepsi" bezels don't do anything for me. Why not have a red and white bezel combo for a "Coke " version and that maybe the one I lok at. After my last watch purchase, no budget for a while for anything now anyway. (A-11 UTAH BEACH from Praesidus, black version)
Hello, so yes that pagani movement is the Chinese movement which is ok….the tell tale sign on these is the skipping hands when pushing crown back in to set the time. I found a hack whereby if you rotate the crown slightly back the opposite direction that you wound to set the time (in this case set by going counter clockwise before push go clockwise) the hands won’t skip. The gmt hand will also jump if you have the crown in position one and adjust it after pushing crown back in unless you do as stated above before push in rotate slightly the opposite direction you just turned crown in and it wont hop skip and jump
