Got pulled to this rabbit hole of watches about a month ago, and all I've been doing is watching KZfaq videos since then 😂 Even though I just came across your channel, I'm glad I did! Great review and beautiful watch!

Salmon dial with grey strap is a nice looking combo!

I got a gold one yesterday! It's amazing! Could not be happier.

I wear my MR01 for 2 or 3 days at a time and it barely loses a minute. My only gripe is that the movement is a little noisy. Other than that, I'm really happy with my blue-dial version.

I bought one of these with a beads of rice bracelet, but I must confess that I prefer to wear it with a brown leather strap. Luckily the bracelet fit very well on another vintage watch of mine (for which I couldn't find a suitable bracelet) and I love that it has the built-in quick release pin. In the end this purchase setup accidentally worked very well for me.

I was considering this but the accuracy makes me think twice. I have a Hamilton Khaki Field for $500 that keeps time to within 5 seconds a day. I think my next watch may wind up being a Nomos Club Campus for $1500 instead. Gorgeous proprietary German movement and beautiful case quality.

the grey strap looks great with it

Love how this watch looks on camera!

I'm loving a burgundy leather strap on this one, it complements the copper color dial. I want to try some suede too tho for sure.

bought 3 , past weekend. Loving them

Just ordered mine!

Great video! Very informative

I would be interested to see what the accuracy is like after regulating the movement. From my own experience it does make a lot of difference.

Really enjoyed the review and impressions. Really helpful especially the real-use accuracy. That watch strap btw really does work. Where did you get it? I'm planning on getting the salmon dial as well and your pairing with that grey strap is just too good not to emulate.

Thanks for the video. I just ordered one

I bought the watch,sent it back. Looks great on videos but feels cheap when you get it in hand,the rotor is as noisy as a rattler on your wrist

Beautiful watch for the price. The +30 wouldn't be a deal breaker if you'd buy this watch for the purpose it was created: dress watch. However, for someone planning to wear this quite often, anything more than +/- 10 is a deal breaker imo. As a comparison, my Max Bill manual wind which is about 700 euro runs at +2/day out of the box.

Getting +2 seconds a day on my Khaki field auto. Plus this is a french watch with a Chinese movement. It's pretty but there are too many compromises for the price.

I put a lot of emphasis on movement accuracy, hence +30 seconds per day is a complete dealbreaker for me. Too bad, as the watch and the movement look great.

At 7:51 ...hard to find these things in this price range. That's the optimistic perspective; Whereas the pessimistic perspective would be that it's all too good to be true. And I tend to agree with the latter. Quality is commensurate with price, and you can't get something for nothing -- for example, a Chinese ébauche in a microbrand. Over at Average Bros he was talking about the secondhand market for this watch, so you could flip it for profit. That goes to show where the mindset is about gaming value.

Thank you for the review. Can i have a link for your grey bracelet? Thanks

I guess they never claim what they had have regulated to in those 5 positions. SMH. Cheaper movement are hard to relate. My 7s26 vary a lot even after re oiling. Even my 6r15 has high positional variance, but I got the dial up and 12 down to under +4s and 3 down to -13s. I do a weight average of time spent on each position and it should be pretty close to +0s after a few days of wearing. Lifestyle has great impact on cheaper low efficiency movements. I would love to see how the Nomos DUW3001 does since it is supposedly 95% efficient. So it should have tighter tolerances, higher percision with less positional and temperature variance.

I'll being buying.

Sorry guys, we need to be a bit honest here, +30s for a 732 euro watch is first of all not cheap at all, my baltany salmon dial watch is 174 euros and runs at plus 7-8s a day and is very very well made so it really is 4 times cheaper but the Baltic is certainly not 4 times better. It is a pretty weak deal and to me +30s is not okay especially if you note it has been regulated in France. Also the case is pretty simple to make in my eyes. Also hesalite, it is a choice its vintage inspired but my baltany vintage inspired beautiful sapphire crystal is really something else. Again a choice which I do not like that much tbh with you.

My is 2 Sec +

Beautiful dial but the unserviceable movement is not worth the money imho. Besides that 9.9mm isn’t the thickness that I’d say very thin.

You did not discuss the accuracy of the watch. On your text, you mentioned the "movement's accuracy" and in your video you said "how it performed over the ten days of wearing it" (4:06) - the video ended with me still waiting for you to mention its accuracy.

no sapphire crystal for 700 dollars ? please ...

30s per day? That's not good.

These watches feel so cheap. Very light weight. I was surprised.

30 seconds a day is definitely not acceptable for any watch. I have NH35 movements, none loose more, or gain more than 10 sec. I'm out!

30 seconds loss per day! Way too much. That's a deal breaker.

I would always know the movement is a cheap imitation with painted screws, fake côtes de Genève and clumsy perlage. And the drastic inaccuracy of this movement is not because it wasn’t regulated but because of its low quality parts and construction. Beautiful design on the dial, otherwise.

No way yo purchased a chinese micro rotor watch. Accuracy is just a deal break for me and if it is broken (probably) you need to find a master watchmaker to fix it. Therefore i will not buy it. PASS
