It’s definitely a good think that the crystal is sapphire instead of hesalite. Congrats on yours and soon to be steel version, brother. 🤙

Yes, the bezel action is definitely music to the ears and touch. And yeah the skyscraper height won’t be for everyone, Alex SDG. Cheers to the weekend.

They’ve been holding up nicely, Chance. 👌

Great to see ya, Sam. Hope you’ve been well. 🤙🍻

Hi, Watch Witt. I quite like the crystal too. 🤙

Yeah the bezel is outstanding. I’m quite enjoying it. Thanks, James. ☕️

Nice and congrats on your new acquisition, Tom. 🤙

Thanks for that information. 🤙

Ahh a Star Trek fan in the house. But it is a tribute to Jacques Piccard and Don Walsh. 😜🤙

@@whatsonthewrist I forgot to mention that I also learned something new. Thanks)))

@Greg. That makes me feel good and pleases me. Thanks man.

Hi, Pietro. Congrats in advance on your blue. I’m thinking a rubber band could also work nicely. I’m glad I made you laugh, but seriously drive with a passenger. 😜💪

@@whatsonthewrist 😂😂😂😂

Let me know what you think about upon receiving it.

@@whatsonthewrist I will; and share my thoughts or rants and raves. 😉

@@whatsonthewrist My thoughts on the watch as promised. I like the overall look, the crown is big, no crown guard but that is fine because the big size of the crown. They would have made it simply too much in case they opted for a crown guard. The watch fits OK because I am a big boy 6' 1" or 1.86 and 17 stone or 110 European kg. The materials seem fine and I like the engraving on the back. I have nothing like it in my collection, especially the dome crystal looks like the millennium dome on the banks of the river Thames in London. Or a UFO from the old 1960's series; the invaders. Now the bad part; I know that I am not the most handy person in the world. Rather a crocodile with boxing gloves when it comes down to DIY, maintenance on my motorbike etc but I have improved over time due to trial and error. Now the same goes when it come down to adjusting a bracelet on my watches, changing batteries etc. But o dear, the bracelet on this one is by far the worst bracelet I ever wrestled with (it was easier to wrestle the local bear on his back ! !) ! ! The quality is not bad but the push pins are abysmal ! ! A nightmare to push them out, first I thought I had to push them out in the opposite direction of what the arrows were showing because I saw it on one of the review that the guy had to push them out that way. Eventually I kind of fixed it, because I can't get the perfect sizing and I broke two push pins ! ! Either the bracelet is too loose or too tight and the fact that there are only three micro adjudgments didn't help at all ! ! My final thoughts on the watch: I like the looks, I strapped a 10kg dumbbell on my right arm when I drive my car so no need for a passenger to keep the balance(right hand drive cars over here), it is like nothing else in my collection, I like the story behind the watch and the supposed 50atm waterproof not that I will ever test it and I lost my ticket to go on a trip with captain Nemo's sub Nautilus. Maybe Spinnaker will send me a new one after reading this review. I would give 3 out of 5, do I recommend the watch ? That is a difficult one, it is surely special in its own way and I got 20% off the asking price. The $550 is too steep and I wouldn't bought it without the discount. There you have my thoughts on the watch in case you didn't fall asleep before getting here. 😉

Hi, Anthony. If your dress shirt has a traditional cuff height, it could be a problem. But if your cuff has room for two buttons you could be fine using the wider option. Of course you can always roll up your sleeves. And thanks. 🤙

@@whatsonthewrist ohh wow. I thought nooo way it'd fit. Haha maybe for some people it will.

Roll them sleeves up, Anthony. 💪

Hey, Rich. I don’t recall the other brand with such a domed crystal but you could be right. The Piccard is in honor of the Bathyscape Trieste submerged mission from 1960. Yeah bronze could work here, good idea. 🤙

Haha, Stephen. Yes if I recall the previous Piccard was a limited edition. 👽🛸

It’s been on par for the movement, The Shadow Man. Nothing better or worse.

Hey, Ed. Pretty cool, right! 🤙

@@whatsonthewrist wish it had a better movement

Yeah I hear ya, Ed.

Excellent perspective and I agree, Holger. The movement is acceptable because of the price, not so much if it was more expensive.

@@whatsonthewrist I learned something from a collector long ago who introduced me to Sicura dive watches - back then among the best. They used low grade movements because for the hour you needed them under water, the precision of the movement was insignificant. If you had an accident - out with the one and simply replace it. Those watches were not meant to be worn all day and this Sinnaker gives me the same vibes

Can’t argue with that, Holger.

It’s a big boy.

They have a logo, but yeah that’s a nice idea to incorporate it. I like it, JJ. 🤙

The crystal is definitely cool and I understand your thoughts regarding the movement, Hanging Around. 🤙

Hi, c9h13no3 UK. Nicely articulated and agreed. Creativity is wonderful. 🤙

Hey, iDid. Or maybe more precisely a UFO on the wrist. 🛸🤙

@@whatsonthewrist I can go for that one too! Also, I think it looks great a bracelet!

@iDid. Yes indeed it’s nicely made and they use quality materials such as a ceramic bezel inlay. Sapphire is definitely necessary for the crystal.

@@whatsonthewrist You do any diving, Rich?

It’s been a good few years since I last visited Catalina Island. Great place to enjoy a lot.

It’s not everyone’s cup of tea, Michael.
