I’m happy to stick with the old model Peter. It’s a beast of a watch. Besides with that decreased water resistance halved, well I’ll have to half fill in my bath tub!🤣
The SAR Rescue Timer is not aviable in Norway, so I got mine on a bracelet by trawling through Munchen while on holliday. Apart from the clasp, I find my "old" version superior to this one having a cleaner dial. Getting rid of the cyclops is a great upgrade though (and one I actually asked Muhle about). This is a watch I've grown to love wearing every day. Had a stop at the Rolex-store @Schipool 6 months ago and had a look at their watches and tried them on (display models). I you look past the economics of reselling a Rolex frankly preffered mine. Even more fun, the very helpful person in the store found handling a Muhle Glashutte far more exiting than anything he had on display.
I love all the Muhle Glasshüte but that's a perfect package I typically hate 4 o'clock crown position but the proportions are just right on this new one.
The original is my favourite watch in terms of design. It's just the watch language that speaks to me. With the increased cost on this i think they should have offered more in terms of micro adjustments and magnetic resistance. I've magnetized my original 3 times so it's very prone to it.
The SAR 1000 IS VERY NICE WATCH , very comfortable, but one hit to the walls at the stairs and the rubber bezel got badly scratched and can not be buffed out like steel 😢
After two years of yearning, and wondering whether to go titanium or steel, I just bought the Rescue timer. Much cleaner, less fastidious, dial. Sized, (boy, did I ever sweat that, cutting the rubber, segment by segment, until the watch fit loosely) it sits gorgeously on my wrist. The ultimate nautical tool watch!
Love the watch and love the reviews the Original SAR is still for me but I think a lot of people will appreciate the sleeker profile and dial lay out of this one.
I think this brand is superb. Utterly no nonsense tool watches built like a tank. Similar to Sinn but have their own design aesthetic and clearly nautical vs pilot I like both versions and would happily have either Have you checked out the sea timer blackmotion? Your reviews are pretty much always spot on thanks a lot Peter. I really look forward to your reviews
Definitely, a more thoughtful and refined upgrade. The clasp wouldn't bother me, but I get that you have to be careful sizing it. Pricey, but you are getting top notch engineering and manufacturing.
Well done Peter. Another fine review. I like how you mentioned it would be better if they built in some more fine adjustments in the clasp. My wrist will expand and contract depending on heat or cold over 5mm in range. I would love clasps that could accommodate my wrist size changes.
Peter, thanks. Great watch. I have a Mühle Saxonia II KS that I wear all spring and summer. About 7 years old. A champ. And this think looks like the tooliest tool watch ever. If you want a working watch, this would compete well with a Pelagos or Seadiver or anything. Thanks!
Great looking watch! Thanks for the review. If I didn't have the original SAR with a cream dial on bracelet, think I would buy one. Quality quality quality. Wear my SAR to work on a farm.
I've no personal experience with this particular watch, but all Muhle Glashutte watches that I have seen are top quality tools. Between this one and my SAR Rescue Timer, I think I still prefer the SAR. I do think making the date display bigger was a good idea. Those dimensions are just a little too big for my personal tastes.
Very nice but I still prefer the older model Pete! For me that one looks cleaner. Besides, I miss the internal cyclops which for me is one of the characteristics of the SAR watch.
This is indeed a very nice watch Pete. I have the SAR full lume cream dial, and I absolutely love it. My only dislike is the clasp's lack of adjustability. I ultimately hope that Muhle Glashütte offers a clasp with on-the-fly adjustability. For me, that will make the SAR absolutely perfect. This new version is lovely, but I'm sticking to its predecessor. How about you? Thank you again for sharing this wonderful watch, and be well my friend.
I too like the footprint of the predecessor as well. This new one has some positives in its favour, but the original seems to sit better on the wrist being a smaller overall piece Cheers mate be well 🙏
Striking, and very reminiscent of my (similarly German) Dekla Turbulenz. Turbulenz is available in 40 & 42mm and has many options on dial/case/bezel designs. My example with several upgrade options was about 750 euro.
Peter, great review on what looks to be an awesome improvement and update on the SAR!! Could you try to obtain and review the Seebataillion GMT?? I love that watch as well-titanium, GMT, count down timer bezel. Regards!
Stating the obvious. Germany can engineer anything. An extremely good watch.. The new waterproof depth is a good move with the slim case. Yes it's expensive but You get what you pay for in this case.
Those hands are way to thin for this watch, especially given the overly large triangles. The band and clasp was clearly designed by the marketing and sales department.
Nice legible watch with great specs and pleasing to look at except…..the blue AR , why try to change a black dial into a blue one ! And my arm sweats like a pig with rubber, the clasp is a rubbish design, unfortunately I don’t think you can swap it for a leather Sorry for the negativity but that’s how I see it Pete
No negativity at all Paul, I agree with your point regarding blue ar As for the rubber, I have been lucky myself, no issues on the wrist, but many have also told me the same as you regarding sweat and not being able to breath on the skin Be well mate
I love this watch and would make payments on it. That being said, I really, really dislike rubber straps. So now I am searching out a strap that is going to run me another three dead presidents. Love this watch.
@@PeterKotsa Throughout the video a thumping noise. It stops when I hit pause. I was checking my system for intermittant cable grounds. $50,000 systems amplifies everything. I thought you were playing background music while talking.
I hear you Roman, thats pretty much the case with many watch makers that use ETA based movements, we struggle to justify the extra cost etc In this case though, Muhle completely strip down the movements and then re-build them with their own woodpecker neck regulation and some fine touches My SAR was incredible in its stability as non in-house movement and to be honest ran so much better than my Omega and Tudor So maybe theres something in that 😊 Cheers mate be well
@Peter Kotsa It still does not justify that price though. Maybe 1500-1750 but nowhere near 4k. Movement is still not theirs. It looks good. Thank you for your time and response.
that watch looks FANTASTIC i love the position of the date.
I’m happy to stick with the old model Peter. It’s a beast of a watch. Besides with that decreased water resistance halved, well I’ll have to half fill in my bath tub!🤣
Hahaha
That’s hilarious Andrew 😂
This one is better as it has steel bezel instead of rubber bezel
I love German watches and have the previous version of this one. It's a keeper.

What about lhd? It’s typically a love/hate situation with zero grey area but I’ve been converted based off several factors.

I did not know that.......I have a demagnetizer, probably wouldn't hurt to use it.

Thanks Wisam, I will check out the Blackmotion
I like it. Totally agree about the clasp and rubber but it will be nice to see this watch on a titanium bracelet. Thanks for sharing and cheers!
Big fan of German watches. This one is on the radar for sure

My favorite watch of (almost) all time!
I feel the hands are a little bit too small? It definitely looks much better than the previous version though! 👍
Peter, thanks. Great watch. I have a Mühle Saxonia II KS that I wear all spring and summer. About 7 years old. A champ. And this think looks like the tooliest tool watch ever. If you want a working watch, this would compete well with a Pelagos or Seadiver or anything. Thanks!
Very cool and very well said
Nice presentation Peter, nice watch.
For me the hands need a better presence in relation to the markers for legibility day and night..
I have the SAR and it's bombproof and beautiful!
Top unit..🔥🔥
Enjoy it James
Happy Easter, Peter. Best wishes.
Thanks bro, but we are Orthodox Christians, next Sunday.
Happy Easter to you🎉❤
Be well bro
Top review and up front with the details. Cheers
Great looking watch! Thanks for the review.

Enjoy the original Douglas, its an absolute beauty. Great to see you got the cream dial as well 👍

I agree Michael, if this was around 40-41mm overall, it would be ideal
Good review, but I'd definitely stick with the original SAR.
I still think the one with the white dial and skeleton hands is by far the best of the S.A.R line
As far as the dial goes I actually prefer the original SAR myself but this is a nice offering also
Top notch commentary and video.
Thank you Shawn, I appreciate the feedback mate
Blast, once you mentioned the regulation I am unable to get that daft song out of my head. Watch is impressive nonetheless 👍
Very nice but I still prefer the older model Pete! For me that one looks cleaner. Besides, I miss the internal cyclops which for me is one of the characteristics of the SAR watch.
A Classic look for sure Alex 👍
This is indeed a very nice watch Pete. I have the SAR full lume cream dial, and I absolutely love it. My only dislike is the clasp's lack of adjustability.

Nice piece Sean, also great to see it comes on a bracelet,...I will have to try and get hands on one day
I have an Oris that i needed to also cut down the rubber strap. I wear it on leather now
Bit of a hassle, you need to get it spot on
On the fly microadjustabilty would solve this issue
Lol - I had the AD cut it just in case. If there was a mistake it would be on them….
@@david12990 smart move
Very cool Muhle sure knows how to make a date window dissappear completely
Totally agree
think the lumen SAR is the best. The metal bracelet needs a drastic clasp upgrade though the only complaint
I love this Watch
Really cool watch! This is a brand I really want to get my hands on😄
If you’ve got a decent sized wrist, this is a superb experience
@@PeterKotsa I absolutely do not have a decent sized wrist😂 Oh well

Very well said 🍺
And an internally geared 14 speed hub for bicycles called Rohloff Speedhub! Popular with touring cyclists all over the world.
Καλησπέρα. I have been a big fan of your channel for a long time. Please keep up the good work. I was very curious if this watch comes on a bracelet?
I don't see a bracelet option yet, but hopefully theres something in the pipe-works for this
Certainly more robust than my daily, a vintage Cartier, I have to worry about a humid breath rolling over that thing
Wow! I want one.
Those hands are way to thin for this watch, especially given the overly large triangles. The band and clasp was clearly designed by the marketing and sales department.
Great video, nice watch,......
Great video
I love it!
I want one
Are you able to fit aftermarket straps to these?
Yes, I believe its a standard lug width. It wont look integrated though
Whose gonna dive past 500m ? Common now get real. Most people can't go past 40m without air
Or just 4 m😂
Always loved the original.. but the lug design keeps me from buying
Nice legible watch with great specs and pleasing to look at except…..the blue AR , why try to change a black dial into a blue one ! And my arm sweats like a pig with rubber, the clasp is a rubbish design, unfortunately I don’t think you can swap it for a leather

Way too long lugs for my wrist

It was just ok until you said 50ATM, thats impressive.
Epitome of tool watch.
Talking over a noisy background I was trying to listen to you but that noise, what was that noise? I missed everything you said.
I didn't pick anything up Brian?..where was the noise at the start or throughout the video?
Cheers mate
@@PeterKotsa I did not have any issues and the background sound is no different from previous videos.

@@brianpercival1829 I have no idea Brian, but I will keep an eye out for anything wrong with my system and mics etc. Thanks for elaborating 👍
Lost me at the blue AR ☹️
Yeah I agree, they should have stuck with clear as in the original
There are enough watches for small wrists. I wish it had been 44mm.
how big is your wrist?
@@PeterKotsa It is 21cm on a cold day and I prefer warm places.
@@LeccareNewHandle 21cm..you're a big fella...respect 🙏😊😂
@@PeterKotsa Thank you.
50 ATM equal to 50m water level !
5 ATM is 50 meters
50 ATM is 500 meters
👍
The large triangles are ugly to many eyes. For a clear, stylish, German tool watch you can’t do better than Sinn.
Maybe 200usd for the movement, where is the rest ? 4000 for the case and strap ? Get real. Seiko it is.
I hear you Roman, thats pretty much the case with many watch makers that use ETA based movements, we struggle to justify the extra cost etc
In this case though, Muhle completely strip down the movements and then re-build them with their own woodpecker neck regulation and some fine touches
My SAR was incredible in its stability as non in-house movement and to be honest ran so much better than my Omega and Tudor
So maybe theres something in that 😊
