A Rolex Submariner Killer? The Ginault Silent Service
In this video, I dive deep into the Ginault Silent Service, a watch that has been turning heads in the enthusiast community. Is it a true competitor to the legendary Rolex Submariner? Join me as I break down the craftsmanship, design, and performance of the Ginault Silent Service, comparing it directly with the Rolex Submariner.
We'll explore:
The meticulous build quality of the Ginault Silent Service, from its 316L stainless steel case to its ceramic bezel.
How the Ginault's Swiss ETA movement stacks up against Rolex’s in-house movements.
The design similarities and differences, and what they mean for everyday wear.
Value for money: Is the Ginault a smart buy for those who love the Submariner style but don't want to break the bank?

Omega Seamaster Professional 300m - Midsize Watches Wear Better Than You Think - 212.30.36.20.01.002
Переглядів 19 тис.Рік тому
The Seamaster has always been a favorite of mine. I’ve purchased each iteration since the 2531 both in quartz and automatic. And while I love the Seamaster, it has always struck me as slightly too large specifically the latest model from 2018. This midsize version may be slightly too small for some, but considering the move back to watches in the 36-40mm size, this may be the perfect time to ch...

    Hey, nice video. Might I offer a observation: your description of the Triplock Crown feature was a little unclear as it appeared you described the crown, caseback and crystal gaskets are what make up the Triplock system when in fact, the name refers to the 3-part waterproof barrier located within the crown assembly, hence Triplock *Crown*. Anyway, good luck and thanks for the video.

I was pleasantly surprised that they still had the older version. Curious to know if you still have your 003, or have moved on? If you still have it, how has it been, owning the 003 for over 4 years?

Just picked up a 2009 V serial and cannot wait to receive it. I'm pretty sure I'll be selling the 16610 when this one arrives. Explorer 1 never quite cut it for me either, had a few of those. The 16570 just has some kind of magic about it. Thanks for the video.

I also have an Omega SMP300 with anti reflective coating on the outside of the crystal, and after three years of wear I don't notice any scratches, and I don't baby that watch. So perhaps you'll update your point of view about that. Other than that, great review. I subscribed.
