Beautiful video. Thanks, Tutima in now in my radar 🙂

Getting rid of something sentimentally important is hard, especially a watch

I liked the look of Yema's, but I've heard nothing but bad things about them

indepdendent watchmaker is what exactly? Not Casio? Not Rolex? Not a famous brand? Pure rhetoric?

❤

So. Much. Want.

That's beautiful. And it costs less than getting my vintage Omega Seamaster serviced by a factory authorized jeweler. I need some alternative to the overpriced Swatch Group watches but I won't buy Chinese.

I guess a Peacock is kinda like a pretty Seagull...

Thinking about making this my next purchased and I appreciate your review. Very informative and love the camera shots of the watch.

i don't get why they keep comparing this to the skx, it's way better. applied indices, framed day-date window, colormatched day-date wheel, handwinding and a certified diver.

I bought mine 6 years ago for 240$ as a gift for my 30th Birthday and to remember the one I was fascinated as a kid but somehow broke trying to see hou tough it is. After 6 years I love everything about it and the jubilee bracelet is as comfortable as cloth. I am a 1 watch guy, I do have people arround me with very very expensive pieces they are nice but this one is mine it fits me and is on par with everything I carry and the wayu I am.

shoudnt a "proper" crown be plugged as a last step? he puts it in first and then removes anyway before putting it in the case.. justbtonputbit back on. looks like 2 redundant steps

Damasko hands down after owning both

I used to check my car's speedometer accuracy using the tachymeter on my watch and mile markers on the freeway.

Just wanted to say you’ve got a really cool intro! The way the yellow circle went around like a dial over the dial of the watch you’re reviewing-genius! Well done. Thanks for the review, some great points made

I agree with you on the crown. Small and difficult to manipulate. Other wise my 41mm AT is beautiful.

Best clasp ever. Terrible name, terrible movement

Inlove with this watch!!! Should I sell my Hamilton Intramatic Chrono for this, Pete?

Too much bling for me. Why don't they use standard stainless steel.

I have a feeling the crown is just a tiny bit too big? maybe if it would be 1mm recessed into the case?... but the general design is gorgeous. Looking at their offering, I have a feeling that they don't know where to go next? Every watch seems to be just the same watch, just different material/finish, different dial, but generally a never ending rehash?

Nope. No Chinese watches.

Trump is a broken invicta

Hi peter , great vid as always . The chinese are producing some amazing watches now , and this shows they are prepared to do higher end pieces. I have a san martin and seestern in my collection and they are amazing for little money. The finishing is nearly on par with my tudors , and they also keep good time , with no issues. In some ways they are better proportioned than the watches they are copying . The tudor pro was too thick for a 39mm watch , but the san martin version is a lot thinner , making it better to wear . Obviously the main gripe is that they are just copying designs , which is a shame or a bonus depending on your viewpoint. The thing I like about them most is , you can wear them and not worry about them getting bashed and losing them in the sea !!! They also look great on and it questions your sanity to pay 5k for a swiss watch. I believe in time many people who like automatics may just go for one , in the style they like because they are getting so good now. No worries about an expensive service either ten years down the line , you could just get a new model. I know we have affinity with certain brands , but it might be the case of getting one really nice watch , and several chinese ones to satisfy our cravings . The enjoyment level isn't that far removed from the famous brands , speaking from experience.

over hyped. sold mine after 2 days. eh...not so great

Seiko does it for 495.

Oh jeez now I need to decide between this one and the blue lol

I like that you review from all over the world. Germany, Japan, Scandinavia, Korea, china, down under, England etc This is good. I like everything except the movement. You’re paying a lot for that dial. Pretty but I can’t spend that much money on a movement I don’t feel confident with

you lost me with china

NEVER purchase watches from China.

This watch really comes to life in this video, great job shooting it. I've seen the pictures and it didn't really do much for me. But it looks amazing here. Every little detail they seemed to have nailed. But then they put in that movement. Sigh. Just source an ETA 2892 or SW300 and call it a day here. I'm assuming they wanted to show off a Chinese movement, but I don't believe it's ready for primetime.

Should’ve framed the date window with an enlarged circular lumed indice

Wow

the biggest flaw is that you cannot use a nato strap if do not like the metal

There is a lot to like here. That movement... for $3300 is hard to swallow. That case, hands, dial are stunning though.

I wish I could have one but I'm poor and I can't have one of those but I can still have a plastic watch 😢

Amazing watch and excellent review. I could care less about hacking, so I guess it has zero negatives from my perspective!

Bauhaus is boring, this is simple!

Maybe it is just me, but why is it that so often the review says NOTHING about accuracy? All I ask for is this example: "I wore it for a week and after 7 days it is +22 seconds." - or something like that. Not scientific, but at least that would be SOMETHING. Ok, it was "adjusted to 5 positions". Fine. Give me accuracy specs, THEN your actual accuracy experience. Is that too much to ask?

Nice.

I love that Seamaster. Clean dial, elegant design, excellent movement, perfect size and extremely versatile... It just ticks all the boxes for me. Pure class...

Looks very nice but not worth the money in my opinion!!

Amazing review . I have a seiko Prospex GMT SPB383 with a cost of £1400 and is not even a true GMT, bracelet isa joke at this price level. Against Wise at a £548 . No brainer

where did the covid virus come from ?

Lovely watch Pete! I think Dietrich watch has a very similar bracelet like that. A bit out of my range cost wise, but I can dream? 😴 As always, great photography Pete!

"There's no back play". Seriously man, we can see the back play in the bezel in the video. Why try and hide that? It's a known issue that others have mentioned. The bezel backplay is THE reason I have not bought a Sinn diver. When they get that issue taken care of I'll get one. Until they are a pass.

It’s like those 80’s kit cars that you got a donor VW beetle for, and you put on fibreglass panels to try and make it look like a Ferrari. Peter says ‘if there’s one thing…the movement’… Tell Attelier Wen to come back to us when they get an adult movement. Zelos has been doing a better job on the watches it comes out with using the LJP 100 at less than 1/3 the price…

How does this brand compare to Ming? And are there any other Chinese brands that hold their value so well as Ming does?

I've handled this watch a few times, and the dial is every bit as beautiful and impressive as suggested. While a better movement is a nice to have, the dealbreaker for me is the bracelet. It's just too ridged and inflexible to fit all wrist sizes and types. In my case, with a smaller wrist than Mr Kotsa, the caseback didn't actually manage to touch my wrist - it floated slightly above it held in place by the stiff bracelet. If they addressed this, it would be a home run!

It's hard to find a brand that doesn't associate it's self with a colonisers country.

I have NEVER listened to any other person who criticised my watch / collection. I like what I like you can go fourth and multiple.
