I think at the £500 prove point they were a little over priced. But you can get the watch in the video for a very decent price. I get as many comments asking to look at it as I do other watches like my Tissot.

@@martynwilliams4767 I have three Tissots and they are ok watches but nothing special in my honest opinion. Let's be honest, if it were not for 'Swiss-made" badging no one would care for Tissot watches, they are pretty bland. However, Stuhrlings are beautiful watches with a lot of personality, although I wish that Stuhrling would drop the "Original" in their name which cheapens the brand.

I get the sentiment, whilst they don't overtly advertise it, as said in the video it is a Chinese movement assembled in Switzerland doing the bare minimum to be Swiss made. But it's working well still after a number of years and still gets people asking when they look at it.

It's a Chinese movement that is assembled in Switzerland to qualify as "swiss". Misleading but not illegal and technically correct

Really sorry to hear!! Are you sure it wasn't just a one off issue? It shouldn't happen and get through a quality control process. I have never tested out their customer service side of things but that would be a good test of them I guess.

No idea, guess it sounds better 🤣

Can't do a video, but you should have a tool that comes with the watch and the indented button at around 11 is what you push to get the date to move along. If you didn't have a tool then a fork prong or something like that would work.

@@martynwilliams4767 Sir, I do not know the way or not, I do not know which Azara is responsible

I don't know the keys

There is lume on the hour/minute hand and also each hour marker. It's a decent aquamarine type colour and stays visible for a decent time.

@@martynwilliams4767 thank you,mine doesnt have lume on the each hour markers,only on the hands

​@@martynwilliams4767my friend has blue carbon version,and also has lume only on the hands

That's odd to hear.

​@@martynwilliams4767yes it is,there is a clip here on you tube of carbon version and that model also has no lume on hour markers

Agree 😀

Watched the video all the way through. Discovers the small date button. What an amazingly dumb design feature

Yeah the button confused me as well. But lovely watch still.

Cheers, sadly I just recorded it on my phone whilst fiddling with the watch. 👍

Also if you below posts, I think the hand is designed misaligned. As when you push the button to start the chrono it moves to perfectly vertical

@@martynwilliams4767 Ha, didn’t see that someone else brought it up as well. I can’t remember where I saw it, but some chronos have the ability to re calibrate..it’s done by pressing the buttons in a certain order. My Seiko is off by a fraction, but unfortunately it will take a re-alignment of the hands to fix…but I know there are watches where you can calibrate without taking out the movement

@@martynwilliams4767 try pulling your crown out as to set the time..then try either your top or bottom pusher see if that happens to move the chrono hand towards centre 🤔

@@canadiankrispybacon1450 I'll give that a go, cheers 👍

Sorry to say this hasn't translated to English, so no idea what has been said 🤷

It's a great looking watch

I think you'll find its offset slightly so when you push the start button it moves to 12 exactly.

There is a post further down where it's discussed. Appears a likely design function, yet in promo shots they have it aligned to 12

Start the chronograph when the left sub dial is at 60. This syncs up the chronograph with the watch’s second hand. Then you don’t have to worry about the yellow hand being misaligned at 12

Still going strong, 1 small scratch on the glass that I want to get polished out. Went to look at getting it serviced but the price was around £250 which considering its value wasn't worth it.

Where did you find it for $120?…

Thank you, I tend to set watches going forward. But general consensus is its fine to wind back. Below is a good link www.reddit.com/r/Watches/comments/kqit2/i_have_an_automatic_watch_can_i_turn_the_hands/

It doesn't meet the ISO standard as I state in the video although has the features required of a diver. Dare I say brands like rolex aren't ISO tested (though I imagine they have a more stringent testing procedure). The movement can be called Swiss made as they skirt the legislation by having the bare minimum assembly and testing done in Switzerland. But you right the actual movement in a Chinese seagull one. All of which I believe I state in the video.

Well, I am entitled to my opinion which is the review was not objective rather you were justifying your purchase. £500 buys a lot of watch today especially in the homage world. This watch ? £200 tops

Correct it is your opinion, I'm not saying it's wrong. Just responding to what you brought up around the two points. Some of the other comments are from people who own them. Some people who own it agree. One doesn't and then a few people who don't own it have opinions either way.

You're spot on, sadly use my phone on a camera mount. Don't intend to buy more watches so no requirement to spend money on a better camera. Had I thought about it I'd have cut some still images in for people to get a better view of it.

Fair point, happy at 6'4" 100kg it sits happy on my wrist. 😉

Eh?

Xiaomi are a different brand, so without doing some research I'd say no as a starting point

@@martynwilliams4767 wow means xiaomi is copying this Ciga Products? my thou is Xiaomi take over Ciga brand maybe

So doesn't state directly xiaomi own ciga. But appears they are possibly linked to them, see below article www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_introduces_tseries_ciga_design_mechanical_watch-news-38234.php

Found a better answer with some digging 👍 cigadesign.co.uk/pages/about

It's not an eta movement. From. Research its a Chinese sourced movement but enough of it is assembled/constructed/calibrated in Switzerland for it to be deemed Swiss. This is a bit of a work around to get that title, but does also mean it has to meet the requirements for that title. If that makes sense? I can't remember the exact Chinese brand used but if you Google deep enough you can find it. I would add stuhrling aren't the only brand to do this. Dare I say I'm sure plenty of Swiss movements have parts mass-produced in china and shipped over to other counties to assemble.

@@martynwilliams4767 nice info.. i've search in google before but i couldn't found the literature about this movt.. i have 2 watches with chinese movt, and the accuracy aren't good, but if its calibrated in swiss maybe they have good accuracy

@@hedihadian283 I recall in the research I did it was a seagull movement. This below link confirms my recollection chinesewatchwiki.net/Stuhrling_Original

I had to ask the store to give me one as they forgot to put it in. (have to admit I got home and was trying to set the date and then realised how to hence contacting the store)

@@martynwilliams4767 bro thank you so much

Must be the angle or maybe it was a click off, had a look at it today when lined up the top indicator sits at 12 and the 30 sits perfectly at 6

Watch is going great thank you, hasn't caused me an issue at all, still holds time well. Few scuffs but holds up to regular wearing well.

Thanks mate, I can't afford crazy money for watches, so I look for ones that catch my eye. This one certainly did.

The Movements's finish is at the level of entry level Sea-gull's,so Parnis at double the price. So I am guessing that's why (design price) .

Yes that's where I got it from.

I think you're agreeing with the comments? I didn't like the straps that came with it. They all looked cheap especially the leather one.

Should take you to the link 👍

Perfect, much appreciated!

Sorry, its a good point. I should probably cut a still into the videos, or have it mounted when I talk.

I have to say it's one of my go to watches. I can't fault how it looks and feels on. I think the Swiss automatic movement is a little misleading as its a Chinese movement shipped over and tweaked just enough to qualify. But mine has been faultless since I bought it. And turns just as many heads as my tissot. If that helps?

@@martynwilliams4767 it does. Appreciate your input

If your in the states they ship from there but are mail order only I think. Sure you'll be able to get a discount. Once you log onto their site they will send you lots of emails and discount promos. Good luck

It is quite a chunky watch. But I'm ok with that as I'm a big lad. It isn't 100% confirmed the second wheel is aesthetic but from everything I have seen I'm fairly confident it is. I guess after that it boils down to if you like the look or not.

Thank you, have to say it's one that even now catches my eye. I'd strongly recommend looking at this and the aqua marine one they do. Great colour faces and good sturdy watch.

So I don't have a caliper but using a tape measure and I'd estimate it around 16mm

Shipment wise I did wait around 3 to 4 months. But I bought when the pandemic was in full effect. From the offset they were honest about shipping being delayed. Once I had a DHL number it was around a week. And that has prompted the memory I did pay tax as it was to DHL direct.

It was £1700, not sure this model is around anymore. They do it with a black and red or blue strap.

$680 on Jomashop right now. I bought mine from a friend for $300.

Afraid I don't own an invicta so can't offer advice. I would say I have no hesitation in recommending the stuhrling. As long as you know what your buying. It turns heads to people that see it and has proven sturdy and reliable.

I would say the intensity is fairly average. It doesn't last as others that I own. It is fairly easy to read, I'm not a diver so can't comment on how well it would perform in that capacity, I'd imagine not the best in its class.

Can't comment as the only info I have is from the manufacturer. I'd test it with a magnet..... But clearly that is a bad idea. They state the metal used is stainless steel, so I'd have to go with that.

I'll have a good look later, it's never appeared that way to me.

Your right, it does appear ever so slightly off set. Only noticeable once it's pointed out. I imagine it coukd be adjusted by someone with know how.

So I played around, as you depress the button to start the timer it moves the hand to the exact zero position. In essence at the point you press the button it will be aligned. Prior to that it is off set by one click. Thought it would be an odd oversight for what is otherwise such a well made watch. Hope that helps 👍

@@martynwilliams4767 I ordered this exact watch from Jomashop (great price btw). It arrived a few days ago and guess what... mine is exactly the same as yours. That Chrono second hand appears to set ever so slightly off from the center until you press the start button. I was wondering if this movement has some way to micro adjust the position of that hand. So I think it’s one of three possibilities. A) it’s a hand alignment issue, B) it’s an hour marker alignment issue, or C) it’s simply a design characteristic (flaw?) of this watch. Either way it’s a killer watch and imo doesn’t take away from its beauty and functionality.

See I think on reflection it's designed that way, so if imagine as the car or what ever drive over a line for the speed check. As it hits the line you depress the button.. So the car is on the line and the timer moves one click and is on zero. That way the timing is accurate. That's how I see it. Especially if both your watch and mine has same design
