    I got the Corgeut on Aliexpress sale for £42 I couldn't resist at that price. I've got to say it's a great little watch. I love the look of it. I owned an old Speedmaster Midsize and I prefer the size on this. Always thought the full size Moon watch was a bit too big for me. My midsize automatic broke and was too expensive to fix. I won't be having the same problem with this. I found the bracelet easy to size. I don't really like butterfly clasps but it's got a really solid snap and the bracelet is very fluid. I brushed out the polished links by taping it to a bench with double sided tape and using a green dish pad. Brushed the whole bracelet and the sides. It looks much better now.

    • @EscapeWheel

    I have a Tin tin Phylidia chronograph and have only noticed that it's bezel scale is not correct at the 3 O'Clock position. It's 225 marker is almost directly aligned to the 3 O'Clock postion when it should be a lot lower. The Corgeut at least has the 3 O'clock marker matching up with the 240 marker on the bezel which is as it should be.

  • @AlexanderB.
    @AlexanderB. 3 роки тому +3

    Personally I'm inclined to spend a little more on watches that have better specs. I believe the Phylida has a sapphire crystal and of course it's a litte thicker to house that movement. The mineral crystal on the Corgeut on the other hand is strongly domed or top hat, which is why it's exposed and even more prone to catch scratches. So the watch may look nicer at first glance but it won't keep it's beauty after some wear & tear

      A little poly watch and the crystal is back to as good as new…..I hardly ever get scratches on my watches, but when I do, it’s not to difficult to fix. I used to only buy watches with sapphire crystals, but I quickly got over that, once I realized it is pretty easy to rectify those issues. As much as I change watches each week, I’ll probably never get a single scratch on this new Corgeut Speedy. It’ll still look new ten years from now. I take extremely good care of my watches.

    as an update to my ealier comments 1 year ago , after owning this watch for a couple of months I started to notice that the glass appeared ŧo slowly get more 'cloudy' and opaque . I wasn't too sure if it was condensation or not as I had only ever worn it occasionaly in rotation as a daily wearer and I have never been anywhere near water other than washing my hands, nor has it ever been subject to any extremes of temperature So today ( 26 Dec 22) I did a bit of research and discovered that I'm not the only one who's had this problem with this watch. I took the plunge and i removed the case back , removed the stem and the VK63 movement and I cleaned the the glass with glass cleaner , cotton bud and fibre cloth ...and it came up a treat. I checked the seal which looked perfect The toughest part was removing the case back which was on really tight , the stem removal was easy and you just need to know where to press ( google is your friend).

  • @jamesblank2024
    @jamesblank2024 2 роки тому

    The reason the Corgeut has clear crystal is BECAUSE it's mineral crystal. A set of optical equations for reflection and transmission called Fresnel equations determines reflected glare depending on index of refraction of the glass. Higher means more glare. Regular glass or mineral crystal is about 1.52, acrylic is 1.49, and sapphire is 1.76. Sapphire crystals without AR coatings are highly reflective so the dial has poor contrast.
    I would much rather buy a cheaper watch with mineral glass or acrylic (my favorite because scratches easily are buffed out) than sapphire without AR coatings. Acrylic are light weight too. Sapphire with good AR is fine. I won't buy sapphire no AR.

    Great review thank you ! They have all the normal Homages beat with this. BUT they blew it at the finish line....here is why. They didn't mark individual hours , minutes or seconds on any of the corresponding totalizers ! Its a Chronograph. but lets forget that a second ...the 24hour sub daily should have 12 markings, the minute sub totalizer should have 60 markings, that blew it for me. Would have spent 20 to 40 more for it. Oh well..

      Well, that's a shame. I've seen someone else say something similar before. They removed the dial (pretty simple) and cleaned the crystal from the inside and that fixed the problem....not something you should have to do, but if you don't want to deal with returning the watch or getting a small refund, this is your best option.

    Its non sense if they still release quartz battery powered. They must invest in good quality movement such as mechanical chronograph movements if they want to compete against Pagani Design, Parnis, etc.

    • @EscapeWheel
      @EscapeWheel  2 роки тому +1

      Bit they also use quartz.
      And a mechanical Chrono would double the price and probably add a mm or more to the thickness. For $50 what's to complain about

      @@EscapeWheel The VK63 seems to be a pretty solid movement as far as I can tell, and I'm ok with that for this watch as a speedy homage (and I'm just about to order one). The only mechanical chrono I really want in the Chinese watch price range is the Seagull 1963. I think it's beautiful.

    Seriously, this Corgeut or PD homage are cheap quality and look Walmart Armitron finish.
    Don't believe many of the posts here, it is themselves boosting to make sales.
    They may have specs in paper, but do yourself a favor and match them side by side with an entry level Seiko or Citizen.
