NEW GINAULT OCEAN ROVER 2 REVIEW: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jK-gatSW3NfPmoE.html

@switchkiting7568 Жыл бұрын

I own both their Ocean Rover 2 and the Silent Service for over a year now. Both of my examples are running at around +3spd. Besides the finely tuned movement accuracy Ginault really makes watches that punches well above its weight class. This optometry grade triple AR crystal they are using is super clear. Id go as far as saying they are the industry leader in this. Case finishing is on par with my Rolex Sub. The lug to lug tolerance for the SEL bracelet fitting is gapless. Ginault's dial work, hands and applied indices are also well finished, clean and crisp. These finner details really show the folks at Ginault know what they are doing. This is coming from a guy who owns the Sub, GMT Master II and BB58.

@EscapementWatch Жыл бұрын

So you have the Gen 1 Silent Service? Great to know the AR coating was good back then as well. The Ginault watchmaker told me the AR coating has improved clarity for this generation and they re-shaped the bezel teeth profile and depth for a bit more bite. Also the bezel feel has been fine tuned again.

@switchkiting7568 Жыл бұрын

@@EscapementWatch I had the Gen 1 Ocean Rover, sold it after I got the Gen 2 Ocean Rover aka OR2. Jon is right, they improved on the AR coating and bezel assembly's structure on the OR2. The Silent Service has the same spec as the OR2 with the improved crystal AR and bezel. The whole watch, quality and everything feels not too far off my Sub 116610. If I had to nitpick, I'd say Ginault's bracelet is only about 85% of Rolex quality. Rolex's bracelet is still better and smoother with less tolerance. But then again Rolex bracelet alone cost over $2000.

@EscapementWatch Жыл бұрын

nice! I will get hands on with the OR2 after I send this one back. Yes the Rolex bracelet is better. But the Monta bracelet is a tier above the Rolex. When I wore the Monta for a week, after that experience, every bracelet has felt uncomfortable in comparison! Even subby!

There's always a compromise with smaller brands but this seems to nail every point perfectly, even if it has to "copy" one of the best divers of all time...but you know what they say, if it ain't broke don't fix it. Gonna be picking one up soon.

@seanhickling7340 Жыл бұрын

That piece looks so much better than any Rolex let alone just the Submariner. Rolex is just a name that everyone knows, their products aren't any better; in fact for the rediculous prices they are comparatively substantially worse. You only own a Rolex to 'show off', there is no other reason. Real horologists choose superior pieces that are sold at far more realistic prices. 'A fool and his money are soon parted' has never been so true as with Rolex owners.

@lonewolfemcquade8133 Жыл бұрын

I know alot of Rolex owners that are true watch enthusiast. So I really don't know what you're talking about. Stop speaking for all the Rolex owners because you don't know all of them.

I've never pulled the trigger on this brand because it was too close to a Rolex in its design, now it feels unique enough for me to seriously consider. Only the bracelet is still Rolex, and not its own (but Rolex bracelets are so good I probably wouldn't care and the general public would never notice. I also don't think they'd ever think mistake the Ginault for a Rolex. That is, if they see the dial first.).

Curious on what your thoughts are between this SS and the Monta Skyquest since you've reviewed both. I like the bezel on the SS, with the sapphire cap and lume it'sa looker, but everything else seems to tilt towards the Monta? Thoughts?

@EscapementWatch Жыл бұрын

Monta is a gmt and costs a lot more especially if you get Ginault's preorder price. Finishing is very close between the two brands, very well done and clean. But the Monta has better finish on the hands, and bracelet, with a superior movement sw300 based vs sw200. Also the Monta bracelet is more comfy with the inner bevels. But if you factor in price the Ginault wins.

Have you handled a Longines Hydro in the steel? The quality, craftsmanship, and details doesn't even come close to what Ginault is making. The Longines that's comparable in quality would be the Spirit which is a fine watch but then again it's almost 3 times the price of the Ginault. Don't be brainwashed by brand marketing, look at the quality and build, and get the money's worth.

@darrenak9378 Жыл бұрын

I received mine from Ginault last week and the quality is fantastic. However it shipped from Taipei which I found strange since it was supposed to be assembled in America.

@watchluster Жыл бұрын

This is most likely because a part of the work is done there, it's not clear what work though. I get the feeling that either the bracelet or the regulation work or both is done there. I also own the watch and noticed the exact same thing. It's a great watch but the shady past does cloud my judgement and feelings about it.

@darrenak9378 Жыл бұрын

Thanks for some clarity. I don't care where a watch is manufactured or assembled as long as the quality is there which in the case of the Silent Service it undoubtably is. I was just a bit confused in this respect. Maybe they should refrain from printing 'Hand Built in America' on the dial or be more transparent about their processes. As for Ginault's past I believe everyone deserves a second chance in life and the fact they have crossed over to the right side of the tracks is a good thing. P.S. Just subscribed to you.

@EscapementWatch Жыл бұрын

Interesting. I have no idea why Taipei. Mine came shipped from USA via UPS shipping. And fyi the regulation work is done by the brand owner who is a watchmaker and machinist.

@rolexsubcasewearsbettertha9571 Жыл бұрын

Ginault is hand built in the US. They are based in NV and CA. If you are an US customer you will receive your order domestically. If you are in Asia/Oceania Ginault asks their AD to help forward the orders to you via AD's contracted private couriers like DHL/UPS. Ginault used to ship directly to their international customers via USPS EMS. They only started this forwarding practice when the padenmic broke out leaving all commerical flights grounded. The only workable solution back then were private couriers like DHL/UPS who has their own cargo fleet.

@@EscapementWatch This watch have Weiss watch hands. Like copy n paste which I don’t like. I would match this watch to new Maen Hudson. However Maen have own design. Don’t forget that now we can also get e.g. Baume Et Mercier Clifton Club Quartz for around 700-800 pounds which offer also unique design, bespoke parts, beautiful finish with rodium plated hands and indexes. Brand heritage and also very comfortable bracelet. I recommend you to check this beautiful watch. I totally agree with Monta comment. I am waiting for more reviews on your channel. Best Regards!

Weiss has copy paste 1940s flieger handset on it. This watch is Milspec from rolex handset.

But they are the best watches ever made and are worth 5x retail and everyone will think you are cool if you have one. 💩

@@zacharyparis exactly. The only purpose of that brand is showing off for rich people without any clue about watches to other people without any clue about watches. Sadly, both are a majority among their peers.

Then, you don't understand that Rolex is an investment that can be used as a jewelry and also give you the time and date 😂

With actual Rolexes being impossible for most people to buy a decent homage like this should do well. It's not for me though.

Homage is a homage (only homage, doesn’t matter what’s the quality will be).

Watch looks super nice but that bezel grips looks bad IMO

A combination of a Rolex case with the hands, indexes and dial of an old Omega Seamaster 300m Quartz. The watch may be of top quality, but it has no independent design at all.

YOU ASKED WHO IS GINAULT ? " The brand was created in 2011 and is owned by a watchmaker machinist " . DID you know that watchmaker/machinist was famous in the REPLICA world for making the very best ' fake ' 5 digit FAKE submariners , before he moved his operation to the US and went LEGIT . The guy is a genius watchmaker no doubt , his 5 digit submariner replicas marketed as TC are still coveted and traded in the replica world , and considered ' Not worth buying in gen '. GREAT watches though ( Ginault) , as i said the guy is a genius watchmaker .As far as i know they are assembled and machined in the USA.If you put a major brand name on a watch of that quality , you could double the price .

I picked one up recently. Totally decent watch. It’s a little long lug to lug and I don’t like the friction fit clasp. Otherwise a great looking watch!

Every single watch company that copies the Rolex Submariner only reinforces the supremacy of the Submariner. I would never want a Submariner but Rolex is banking money.

Nice video. Seems like it is built beyond its price, but I think your machinist watchmaker friend needs to hire a marketing designer. “Kinetic Continuous”? “kinetic Continuous Date”? Seriously? Unnecessary at best.

haha yeah another way to say perpetual like Rolex. I agree it is too much and I'll suggest toned down text for the next generation.

@Signal11th Жыл бұрын

I mean alright it's a nice watch and at that price it's pretty much a steal but you're not buying a Rolex because it's the best or the most value for money because they aren't you are paying to say something to either yourself or in my opinion wrongly for other people.
